A crypto casino licence is a register entry, not a badge

Curaçao Gaming Authority entries, read from the register

The Curaçao register entry for Vave records number OGL/2024/1676/0905, status Active, held by Latcas B.V., issued on 19 May 2025. Vave is the paid placement on this site; payment buys one position and no points. Bitcasino.io holds OGL/2023/111/0069, status Active, held by Moon Technologies B.V., issued on 1 July 2024. Both names appear exactly as the register spells them, and both statuses read Active on the day this page was checked. A reader can search either number on cert.cga.cw and see the same holder and date.

Rocketpot holds a Curaçao licence numbered 1668/JAZ, with holder Danneskjold Ventures B.V. The status field on the register copy this site holds was not read, so it is recorded as not read. No issue date appears on that register entry. That does not mean the licence is missing; it means the field was not legible on the copy held, and this page does not guess. Metaspins holds OGL/2024/1063/0437, status Active, held by Metaspins N.V., issued on 4 October 2024.

The difference between these two is the method: one entry is complete, the other is reported honestly with an empty field.

Shuffle holds OGL/2024/1337/0628, status Active, held by Natural Nine B.V., issued on 16 October 2024. Sportsbet.io holds OGL/2023/110/0072, status Active, held by MBet Solutions N.V., issued on 22 July 2024. Each of these entries appears again in the reviews so a reader can check the number next to the brand. All six Curaçao certificates were looked up in the public register, not read from a footer badge, which is why the holder names below sometimes differ from the brand on the shopfront.

Anjouan Gaming Board entries, read from the register

The Anjouan register records Wild Fortune under ALSI-202509073-FI2, status valid, held by Metlait SRL, issued on 30 September 2025. DuckDice holds ALSI-202509013-FI1, status valid, held by Zentari Limitada, issued on 16 September 2025. The issue dates come straight from the register, not from any operator page. An Anjouan number like these appears in the Board’s own database, and the holder is a company registered outside Ireland, not the brand a reader sees on the casino homepage.

Empire.io holds ALSI-132405042-FI3, status valid, held by Pixel Entertainment Limited, issued on 28 May 2024. Rainbet holds ALSI-152406029-FI2, status valid, held by RBGAMING N.V., issued on 14 June 2024. A reader searching an anjouan gaming licence number will land on the Board’s record for one of these holders. Each status reads valid, which is the wording the Anjouan register uses for a current certificate, and each issue date is earlier than the page would have a reader believe if it only showed a badge.

Oshi Casino and PlayAmo answer to the same certificate, ALSI-202508056-FI2, held by Novatrix SRL, status valid, issued on 25 August 2025. Two shopfronts answer to one licence. That is a register fact a footer badge never shows. A reader who checks one brand sees the other in the same entry, because the register lists the holder once and both brands point to it.

Captured 6 September 2026. DuckDice files under ALSI-202509013-FI1, held by Zentari Limitada — a number taken from the Anjouan register rather than from the badge at the foot of this screen.

The Irish licence that none of these twelve hold

The Gambling Regulation Act 2024 created the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland. The Authority took over oversight in March 2025. No online casino licence from the Authority exists at the time these twelve operators are listed. The Act is the governing law for gambling in Ireland, and it is the reason a Curaçao or Anjouan licence is not an Irish licence. A reader cannot complain to the Gambling Regulatory Authority of Ireland about an operator that holds no certificate from it. The Authority opens its first remote applications in February 2026. It issues its first remote licences from July 2026, and that phase covers betting, not online casino games. So a crypto casino cannot hold an Irish licence today, and the timeline for casino games specifically is not set out in the figures this page holds. That means the twelve operators here are all offshore, and none of them will gain an Irish licence by the time the first remote betting licences exist. The gap between the offshore registers and the Irish one is a structural fact, not a temporary oversight.

None of the twelve offshore operators holds or can hold an Irish licence. An offshore Curaçao or Anjouan licence is not an Irish licence, and it gives the Authority no power over those operators. Irish readers who need support can contact Problem Gambling Ireland or the Gambling Awareness Trust. The offshore registers do not list those support services, and the terms of the offshore operators do not refer a player to them. That is part of what a crypto casino licence from another jurisdiction fails to provide.

Reading a licence is a lookup, not a badge

The difference between a badge and a crypto casino licence entry is the whole method of these pages. A number is looked up in the issuing register rather than read off a badge in a footer. A badge that links back to the operator’s own site counts as unverified. That rule produces things a badge never shows: that the holder is a company with a name and not the brand on the door, that two of these shopfronts answer to one certificate between them, and that a jurisdiction can license a casino that no Irish reader could complain to.

For example, the Rocketpot status is recorded as not read because the field on the register copy this site holds was not legible. That does not mean the licence is missing; it means the document was not read. An empty licence cell on this site means the certificate was not read, never that the operator holds nothing. That distinction matters because a page full of badges suggests completeness, while a register lookup can produce a field that is genuinely unreadable. The honest way to report that is to say not read, not to invent a status.

The holder names reveal another layer: each certificate belongs to a company, not to the brand on the door. A reader can see that two shopfronts answer to one certificate between them, which no footer badge would admit. Crypto casino licensing is a matter of public records, not private claims. The payments pages show which payment methods each operator accepts, because the payment country is one of the checks used at withdrawal. A register entry does not change when a payment method changes; the two records sit side by side and a reader can compare them.

The two shopfronts that share one certificate

Oshi Casino and PlayAmo both display the same Anjouan number, ALSI-202508056-FI2. The register lists one holder, Novatrix SRL, for both brands. A reader who checks one brand finds the other in the same entry. That is not a guess; it is what the Anjouan Gaming Board’s database returns when the number is searched.

That single certificate means the regulatory question for both brands is identical: the same holder, the same status, the same issue date of 25 August 2025. Nothing on a PlayAmo page says Oshi Casino, and nothing on an Oshi page says PlayAmo. The register is the only place that shows the link. A reader who wants to know who stands behind either shopfront has to open the register, not the homepage.

A shared certificate is not a problem by itself. It means one holder operates two shopfronts. But it is the kind of fact that only a register lookup can produce, and it changes how a reader understands the two brands. The two shopfronts do not have two licences; they have one certificate between them, and that certificate names a company in the Anjouan register, not a brand in an Irish browser.

Restricted-country clauses and why they matter

Every operator published a restricted-country list. That list is written by the operator, not by the regulator. It names the countries from which the operator will not accept players. Ireland appears on no restricted-country list held on this site, so an Irish reader is not caught by those clauses. For the eleven operators whose own published lists this site read, Ireland is not named. For Vave, the operator that pays for its list position and receives no points for that payment, the Ireland acceptance comes from the partner confirmation rather than from a restricted-country list this site read itself.

When an operator checks where a player is, it uses several signals: the address given at registration, the country of the payment method, the IP address the session came from. These are usually reconciled at the first withdrawal, not at signup. If the answer comes back that the player is inside a restricted country, the terms say the account is closed, the balance is voided, and deposits are not always returned. There is no appeal, because the operator holds no licence in the country it refused. The same clause often appears in the bonus terms, because a player from a blocked country has no claim to a bonus.

For the eleven operators whose own published lists this site read, Ireland is not named. For Vave, the one whose position on this site is a paid slot, the Ireland acceptance comes from the partner confirmation rather than from a restricted-country list this site read itself. A reader should read the terms before depositing, because the restricted-countries clause has not been individually confirmed for every operator on this page. That sentence belongs on every page because a restricted-country clause can be changed by the operator at any time, and a reader who checks only one page might miss it.

The reading is done the same way every time, and the method is written out in full: how this site reads a register entry.
