Curacao licensed casinos

[EmilBrankov]

Hello guys, I'm thinking of getting into the affiliate business. I've been reading a lot recently. One thing I was wondering about is the Curacao licensed casinos. What do you think of them ? Are they businesses that are good to make deals with ?

Your help will be much appreciated!

A portion of the answer to your question may have to do with your target market, so a little bit more information would be helpful, but I am sure there will be additional questions and suggestions to your question.

By the way, welcome to the GPWA.

Licensing matters greatly to some affiliates and not a bit to others.

I work with some Curacao licenses groups, some with no licenses, some with "top tier" licenses, etc.

One of my favorite partners is actually Curacao licensed.

To each their own, but in my business, whoever someone is licensed with matters very little to me and virtually not at all to my customers.

Welcome to the forum Stefani.
Before starting to deal with any Curacao licesned casinos or groups of casinos, follow the steps or answer yourself some questions:

- what countries is your main traffic from ?

- what payment methods will your customers mostly used and how woul you like to get your commission ?

- what and how big would you like to go on long run ? ( There are many caisnos with such license you raise and shine and then just dissapear in the haze).
- have you already create a site ? I am asking , because I do not see any mentiond in your profile.

- what and how do you intend to promte any givn casino or sportsbook?

I believe many more members will help out with useful infomation.

Hello Stefani, and welcome to the GPWA.

This is the way that I interpret your question:

It depends on many factors, and the biggest factors to me are trust and communication. You have to be able to totally rely on who you do business with. There can never be any doubts.

Any casino can be licensed, and still be rogue. The license doesn't mean anything if that's the case. Don't fall into that trap.

There are also unlicensed casinos that have a great reputation, regardless of a license or anything else to show that they can be relied upon.

You need to do some research into the above and decide for yourself. Don't pick any casinos just because they're licensed, as I've mentioned to you above. At the same time, see which casinos you would like for your target markets and work your way from there.

They are certainly no less trustworthy than UKGC casinos these days.

[johan_s]

I agree to mickyfu. I have a lot of Curacao licensed casinos I never heard anyone had any problem with them.

[gm2891]

I had a casino review starting with "AAA casino in a new casino licenced in Curacao and operated by BBB".

Seeing such introductory text visitors instantly bounced back to Google.

So I think the licence matters as all players know that the Curacao licence has ZERO value with many casinos created to simply rip players off.

Still, it's not always the case as out there are some Curacao casinos with better attitude and terms towards the players than for example some UKGC's.

This means is all about who runs a casino site and sets its terms.

If you want to promote a Curacao licenced site, do a bit of company research, for example

• try to find out who are people behind a company and who are they linked to
• check their presence on social network sites and casino affiliate forums (the more often you see them the better)
• check their presence on casino gambling forums (the more often you see them the better)
• study every single bit of their terms and conditions and make sure they suit you

You can also check who is promoting them among other affiliates, but be careful with this as there are many

which promoting different dogs bollock and saying that this casino with $500 max withdrawal and 70x wagering requirements

is the best etc.

I would stick with a few of decent affs and see what they are doing. It even wouldn't hurt to contact one and ask for advice.

"all players"

LOL

I would wager less than 1/10th of one percent of players know a single thing about Curacao licenses or even think about them.

I will grant that the small fraction of a percentage point of players who do know about Curacao licenses are likely to think ill of said licensing body because they probably learned the hard way, from a rogue outfit, but there are rogues in every licensing jurisdiction (see MickyFU's post above).

This is gambling... there are crooks...

Not literally all, but I guess you've got what I meant anyway! lol

Well, nowadays many online players interested in gambling usually will look for something on Google or Youtube, and the soon they perform a couple of searches they will start getting related ads/results that will early or late lead them to some players forums like, for example, Casinomeister where ALL PLAYERS know that Curacao casinos, in general, are places to avoid... lol

Still I agree that the majority of players don't have a clue about what the casino licence even is (I personally know some).

Plus, every single minute on this planet, new people begin to gamble. I believe that is very true as well.

[STEFANI This is For You] So, to promote a trustworthy Curacao site that is focused on players and their partners is a way to go in terms of business.

Agree with this wholeheartedly.

I think you are giving gamblers too much credit. I'd bet that 50% or more couldn't even tell you what the UKGC is. 95% are only interested in what they can play. Most probably judge a casino off graphics and how the site looks, what games it has.

The fact that the search terms for UKGC casinos, Curacao Casinos are so low basically tells you there is little interest.

Yes, I do give credit and never underestimate the mentality of my visitors and try to offer them what I would offer myself.

Offering them options that you yourself would choose is fine. In fact, I would say it is best practice!

However, projecting your educated views on licensing onto a random search engine gambler visitor is incorrect.

Virtually none of them care.

MickyFU nailed it... the search volumes for licensing bodies are very low, and that there is proof virtually no one gives a damn about licensing from a customer standpoint.

[gil.langelaan]

Hello Stefani!

And welcome to the forum!

I agree with guys above that we need more info about target market, type of website and payment methods (are you planning to work with crypto casinos or etc).

Personally I had only a good experience with Curacao casinos.

So I would recommend them too.

[mickyfu]

Yes, I do give credit and never underestimate the mentality of my visitors and try to offer them what I would offer myself.

I would not offer myself information to gamble anywhere online or off for that matter, because it is a mugs game

Yeah, agree. Looking at the big picture, for a very new player, there would be no difference under which licence to play. Because at that stage a choice of games/fast payments and clutter-free site is the main goal.

Still, nowadays people tend to do research and find some reviews before they commit to buying a product and, as a rule, they give their preference to popular/modern/trusted organizations. I think that pretty logical.

There are good forums and decent affiliates around the world that feature honest pros and cons on their casino reviews which point out a week jurisdiction as one of the cons.

None of the players virtually care until they find out about such information and start looking for something else. For a casino affiliate, it's not good at all! And this is why I personally think the licence matters.

So if someone wants to promote the Curacao casinos, in this case, an affiliate program must be selected through in-depth research to make sure the casino can satisfy the player needs, make them feel safe and of course, pay their partners without facking around.

For high-traffic affiliates, it's a bit easier task as casinos are kind of dependent on them while for smaller ones it's totally opposite.

LOL...for Curacao casino search volume, that prik in the UK,s 1st page knows better...

[EmilBrankov]

Thank you very much for the detailed information guys. It is much appreciated. The main markets I'll be targeting are Ireland, Canada, NZ, Nordic countries and at some point probably Germany.

As a newbie in the affiliate business, I'll be very cautious.

Thank you once again.

Hello,

I've actually had a great experience with Curacao licensed brands, and I can definitely say it is worth to work with them. They have less limitations and pay more.

However, I suggest you to consider the market you want to operate on before considering the license obviously.

License, does not matter in the least.
In the case of offshore companies (and the vast majority of regulated ones too), either the party is honest or not.
There are offshore bookmakers that have been operating for 20 years and paying players and there is no problem. There are also those that exist to extort money.
This business is based on trust after all.
