Curaçao passed its landmark set of online gambling reforms [Tuesday] amid an ongoing licensing scandal.
The National Ordinance for Games of Chance (LOK) has now been approved by 13 legislators to six, according to advisor to the Curaçao Ministry of Finance Aideen Shortt. The bill had been tabled in parliament for discussion on Monday, as reported by NEXT.io last week.
The passage of the bill marks the completion of a process that began in 2022, when the Dutch government tied Covid relief to several legal reforms, including a requirement for the island to clean up its gambling sector.
It is unclear when exactly the bill was passed by legislators.
