Curaçao regulator hacked: Rollbit & Stake licence data at risk

Rollbit, 1xBet & Stake hold Curaçao licences as investigators probe how much data was taken.

The hit

Curaçao Gaming Authority’s online licensing portal was breached by unauthorised attackers, the regulator confirmed, according to The Currency Analytics. The portal holds photo IDs, personal records & operator details for crypto casino licensees. The CGA said it will notify affected parties if its investigation confirms their data was directly accessed.

Why it matters

Exposed IDs & operator records could fuel extortion or fraud against licensees, while trust in Curaçao’s licensing regime — described by The Currency Analytics as a ‘lax licensing hub’ — takes another hit.

The record

Rollbit licence revocation	Revoked earlier this month by the CGA; link to the breach unconfirmed (The Currency Analytics)
Precedent breach	Malta Gaming Authority hacked in 2020, exposing registered entities’ data
Scale of breach	Number of affected operators not disclosed by the CGA

What happens next

Watch for other regulators quietly tightening their own cybersecurity after Curaçao’s breach, according to The Currency Analytics.
