WILLEMSTAD - Tax on 'online gambling' yields the state treasury at least 115 million guilders per year and this amount can even rise to 215 million guilders per year. This is apparent from a bill that the Social Economic Council (SER) has approved.
The law is part of a modernization package to put Curaçao on the international map with e-gaming. Consumer protection and the avoidance of criminal elements are also included in the package, so that e-gaming is in line with international guidelines.
The legal structure surrounding online gambling must also be regulated, the responsibility for this lies with the Gaming Control Board and the Curaçao Gaming Authority.
