Sites Licensed in Netherlands Antilles

Netherlands Antilles
Internet gaming became a central industry for the island of Curacao in 2002 when the regulation of online gambling was decentralized from the Curacao Gaming Control Board. Cyberluck Casino holds the longest standing Internet gaming license, which was granted under the old regulatory scheme in 1999.

The Governor of the Netherlands Antilles may award interactive gaming licenses pursuant to the National Ordinance Offshore Games of Hazard.

Applicants must first register with the Netherlands Antilles Chamber of Commerce as a locally formed legal entity, either onshore or offshore, and must state the island territories from which they wish to operate. Once an application is completed, the Department of Justice will conduct an investigation. If at the end of six weeks the investigation has been completed and yielded no objections then the applicant can receive a provisional license, which will be subject to a number of conditions, including a USD $33,708 guarantee deposit.

Online gaming operators may also obtain sub-licenses to run Internet gambling operations from the Netherlands Antilles. Host businesses may sub-divide their existing gambling licenses for use by partner companies, provided the arrangement complies with applicable fees ranging from USD $2,000 to USD $4,000.

License holders pay USD $5,618 per month in license fees during the first two years. A new license fee can be determined after the first two years.

The island territory on which a license holder is located is entitled to demand a contribution of up to 2% of the license holder's net gains from interactive gaming.

Netherlands Antilles Government Working with United Kingdom to Approve Gambling Ads
Official Comment of the Government of the Netherlands Antilles
The Government of the Netherlands Antilles has taken notice of the letter containing the decision of the UK Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport, to not accept the recently made application to be “white listed” prior to the UK Gambling Act 2005 coming into effect on September 1st.
This application was considered by the UK Department of Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) and the Government of the Netherlands Antilles is encouraged to note that the remaining questions about the scope and scale of regulatory presence which were raised by the UK are all resolved with the passing and implementation of new legislation here, of which the UK has seen an advanced draft. This new legislation and its accompanying regulations has been accepted by the Council of Ministers and is now progressing through parliament in line with the timeline communicated to the UK DCMS, being December 2007. In preparing this legislation the Government of the Netherlands Antilles has worked closely with the CIGA, the industry trade association of the Netherlands Antilles and is confident that the approval of both the UK DCMS and CIGA suggests that this is a well balanced piece of legislation that will meet the needs and standards of all stakeholders in what is an important regulatory issue, both locally and internationally.
Given the correspondence with the DCMS to date, and our own advisers, we are confident that the passing and implementation of the new legislation will allow us to be rapidly and rightly placed on the “white list” of jurisdictions in the UK. We are strengthened in this by the confirmation in the letter of the DCMS stating the UK Government opinion: "We would be willing to receive a further representation from you and consider the case again when that legislation is in place".
As one of the longest standing jurisdictions regulating online gambling, we of the Government of the Netherlands Antilles agree with the UK’s rigorous approach in this matter, and look forward to completing the final steps needed to ensure our position, reaffirming Netherlands Antilles as a top jurisdiction for online gambling worldwide.

Since we have confirmation from both the UK and Netherlands Antilles that Bingo Vega does NOT hold a license from either country I am providing a link for all members who will take 5 minutes of their time to help a fellow player, to fill out a form at the FBI Internet fraud site. We need all who will help to pitch in and stop Vega from cheating players! This has gone on long enough. Thanks to those of you who do this.... or can bring some proof that Vega is actually licensed and operating legally SOMEWHERE.
