Legality

Not every betting site is clear about who licenses it, so we want to be. Freshbet operates under a Curaçao CGCB licence, and you can confirm our details in the regulator’s public register. Below we explain what this licence covers and what it means for you as a player.

A Curaçao licence sets rules for game fairness, payment handling and basic player protection, and an operator must hold it before offering casino games or sports betting. For you, this means the games are tested and the platform follows recognised security standards.

What Our Curaçao CGCB Licence Covers

The Curaçao Gaming Control Board licenses online gambling operators and sets requirements for game testing, business conduct and financial safeguards. Random number generators must be tested independently before games go live, which confirms that slot and table results are random. This is why every game in our library runs on certified RNG software.

Holding this licence means we must meet several conditions.

• Every game’s random number generator is tested before it reaches players
• Player data is protected with standard security measures such as SSL encryption
• Our licence details stay available for public verification at all times

We meet these requirements as a condition of our licence, and you can check its status in the regulator’s public register at any time.

Being Upfront About the Jurisdiction

A Curaçao licence is not the same as a UK Gambling Commission licence, and we prefer to say so clearly. The UKGC carries out direct inspections, sets detailed conduct rules and connects licensed sites to GAMSTOP automatically. Curaçao applies its own standards rather than copying the UK model.

Our licence still requires tested games and core player protections, only under a different framework. When comparing sites, consider the licensing jurisdiction alongside game choice, payment options and customer support.

Age and Account Eligibility

You must be 18 or older to register and play at Freshbet. We run age and identity checks when you sign up and ask for documents, including proof of address, before your first withdrawal. Any account found to belong to someone under 18 is closed.

Please enter accurate personal details at sign-up, as any mismatch can delay verification later. Each person may hold only one account, and we run regular checks to detect duplicates and keep the platform fair for everyone.

Identity Checks and Player Funds

Before we process a withdrawal, we confirm that your identity matches the details on your account. Every licensed gambling site does this, whatever its jurisdiction. We usually ask for a passport or driving licence and a recent utility bill or bank statement, and our AML & KYC page explains the full process.

Deposits and balances are managed under the security standards our licence requires, and SSL encryption protects your payment details at every step. Together, these measures keep your money and your data secure.

Playing Within the Rules

Our casino and sportsbook run under the same licence. Casino results come from tested random number generators, and bets are settled on official sporting results. We never adjust outcomes or odds beyond the margin shown for each game and market, and any dispute is checked against official results or server logs before we decide.

Gambling laws differ from country to country, so check your local rules before registering. Freshbet is built mainly for British players, with GBP balances and payment methods chosen for that market.
