Curaçao Licensing Portal Offline: Document Deadlines Postponed Until It Reopens
The CGA postpones portal document deadlines; the outage does not affect existing license validity or operators' ongoing obligations.
The Curaçao licensing portal remains offline, with document submission deadlines postponed until it becomes available again, the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) says. No reopening date has been announced, and operators have been told not to email documents intended for portal submission.
KEY FACTS AT A GLANCE
- Filing relief: Deadlines for documents submitted through the portal are postponed until it is available again.
- Continuity: The outage does not affect existing license validity, operators’ ongoing obligations or the CGA’s regulatory functions.
What changes for operator filings
The CGA’s current notice gives operators a limited procedural reprieve. Documentation deadlines tied to the portal are being postponed, while the authority will issue further guidance on revised submission timelines. It does not provide replacement dates.
The CGA says operators should not send information intended for portal submission to its egl-applications email address until further notice, because those submissions cannot currently be processed through alternative channels.

What the security statements establish
On September 17, 2026, the CGA disclosed unauthorized access to its online portal and said it was assessing whether and which information had been accessed. That is the disclosure date, not a confirmed starting date for the outage.
In a statement dated September 22, the CGA said access had been obtained through the customer-facing part of the licensing portal using an account registered under a false identity in December 2025. Access continued until September 2026, when it was identified and ended, the authority said. It also said it had informed operators about security changes at their end and urged prompt implementation. At that point, it had not established the full extent of the material obtained.
Dyutam’s earlier coverage of the Stake-related Curaçao records leak examines a separate part of that reporting.

No reopening date announced.
Deadlines for portal documentation are postponed until the portal is available again. Existing license validity is unaffected by the outage.
Gambling Park reported the portal offline on September 29. The current CGA filing notice is undated in its body, and none of the official statements reviewed says why the portal is offline.
Portal outage does not affect existing license validity
The CGA says the portal’s unavailability does not affect the validity of existing licenses. It also says licensed operators’ ongoing obligations and the authority’s regulatory, supervisory and compliance functions continue. The postponed document deadlines therefore do not amount to a general compliance waiver.
For readers checking an offshore casino, the notice addresses the effect of the portal outage. It does not certify the current status of every individual brand. The CGA’s license register itself cautions that an entry does not guarantee a license’s current validity. Dyutam’s guide to checking an online casino’s license explains how to examine an operator’s credentials.
At Dyutam’s October 6 check (IST), the portal remained unavailable and the CGA website continued to display its outage notice. The next update operators need is the authority’s guidance on restoration and revised filing dates.
