Leaked Files Expose Hidden Owners Behind Curaçao’s Global Online Casinos
A Berlin-based hacker breached the Curaçao Gaming Authority’s licensing system and obtained tens of thousands of confidential documents detailing the true ownership of hundreds of Curaçao-registered online casinos. The files show licences granted without verifying who actually runs the sites, exposing widespread use of anonymous owner structures (letterbox companies). Curaçao has become a hub for thousands of gambling sites, raising concerns about money laundering and regulatory evasion; the findings, published as Casino Secrets with international partners, underscore the global reach and opacity of these operators.
