As you all know I have been researching BingoVega's Online Gaming license. Below you can see that on their own site they state they are "registered" in Curacao.

Bingo Vega is a division of B.G Entertainment N.V, an International Business Corporation registered in Curacao. Our servers are located in London England, in full compliance with all local rules and regulations. Patrons of Bingo Vega can also play their favorite casino games using various links throughout the B.G.E sites.


The following link holds some very good information. I looked around the CIGA (Curacao Internet Gaming Association) site and then went to each site it had listed as members (Vega was NOT there). Each site has the "license seal" on the front page. Bingo Vega has NONE. In fact there is NO proof of ANY license on the Bingo Vega site that I can find.
