Curaçao N.V.
Naamloze Vennootschap under Curaçao Civil Code Book 2. Curaçao is part of the Kingdom of the Netherlands; clean on EU + FATF lists. The National Ordinance on Games of Chance (LOK) 2024 is the first statutory framework to name operational, treasury, and player-flow wallets as distinct regulated categories. Niche vertical fit: Bitcoin-native iGaming and crypto-payment operators specifically. GRAY tier: the legacy master-license-era reputation overhang is real and banking acceptance outside the iGaming corridor is mixed; disclose at checkout. The CGA iGaming license itself is sold separately as a referral product.

Operator-grade use case
Curaçao N.V. is the niche-vertical wrapper for Bitcoin-native iGaming and crypto-payment operators. The National Ordinance on Games of Chance (LOK) 2024 is the first statutory framework anywhere to name operational, treasury, and player-flow wallets as distinct regulated categories. CGA has approved 87 direct iGaming licensees as of Apr 2026; ~30% of the operator base accepts crypto.
Most common deployments: Bitcoin-native crypto-casino operators who want the statutory framework that explicitly names on-chain wallet segregation, crypto-payment processors building inside the iGaming corridor, and operators graduating from the legacy master-license era into the direct CGA-licensed regime.
Less ideal for: general-purpose offshore wrappers (Wyoming, Seychelles, or Cyprus serve cleaner). Operators outside the iGaming or crypto-payment vertical will find banking acceptance materially harder than the price implies. The legacy master-license-era reputation overhang is real even after the LOK reform; EU mainstream banks will apply enhanced due diligence by default. If your business model isn't iGaming or crypto-payment, this isn't your SKU.
