Curaçao casino leak exposes more than 40,000 regulatory documents

  • Journalists released Curaçao gambling-regulator records after an unauthorized access incident.
  • More than 40,000 documents cover over 1,000 Curaçao-registered casinos and gambling firms.
  • Rollbit, 1xBet, Stake and Roobet were identified among affected crypto casinos.

A searchable archive of more than 40,000 documents linked to Curaçao-registered casinos and gambling firms has been released after the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) disclosed an unauthorized access incident. The records include financial plans, audits, business structures and funding sources. German journalist Lilith Wittmann said she worked with journalists from NDR, NRK, SVT and Follow the Money, and that the group extracted almost 2 terabytes of data from gambling authorities in Curaçao and Malta after exhausting other journalistic methods. The journalists said the disclosure was justified by overriding public interest. The newly described database covers more than 1,000 Curaçao-registered casinos and gambling firms, while an earlier description of the public archive said it involved nearly 650 licensed companies and about 800 owners. Major crypto casinos identified as affected include Rollbit, 1xBet, Stake and Roobet. The records have been used to examine ownership and funding links, including claims about Rollbit owner Daniel Dixon, also known as Lucky, and Tether.bet, which lists Hon Kong Yong as its beneficial owner. The CGA previously said its licensing portal was accessed without authorization and that a forensic investigation was underway. The archive’s inclusion disclaimer says appearing in the records does not establish illegal or improper conduct. Softswiss said it does not operate online casinos or provide gambling services to end users, while the CGA said the operator network described in the report was artificially constructed.
