One address, one certificate
Casino domain checks: the address bar against the register entry
A licence certificate lists web addresses, not a brand name. This page shows how the domain you type compares with the one a register prints, using the houses in the ranking as worked examples.
A licence is issued to a company and, on the Curaçao portal and the Anjouan register alike, it is written down together with the web addresses it covers. The casino domain in your address bar is therefore something you can compare, letter by letter, with a line on a certificate. When the two match, the fifth criterion of this site's ranking is met; when they do not, the mark stays empty, whatever the brand's reputation.
This page walks through that comparison with the houses in the ranking, and explains what a mismatch does and does not say.
A certificate lists each casino domain, not a brand
A brand is a name on a logo. A certificate is a record kept by the authority that issued it, and on the portals used for this site it prints the holder company, the licence number, a date and one or more domains. The brand itself does not have to appear.
That has a practical consequence. Two sites with the same logo can sit under different certificates, and one certificate can list an address the brand no longer uses in its marketing. The only reliable comparison is between the exact string in the address bar and the exact string on the register entry.

Casino domain examples from the ranking
The register searches behind these examples ran between 8 and 13 September 2026.
- Vave (shown above the ranking). Latcas B.V. holds OGL/2024/1676/0905, in force since 19 May 2025. A search on cert.cga.cw on 12 September 2026 returned vavegame.com as the only domain on that certificate; vave.com was not on it.
- Jack.com. Data Link Digital B.V. holds OGL/2024/1562/1139, dated 23 July 2025, and jack.com is on it. The older jackbit.com address belongs to a different certificate.
- Bitcasino.io. Moon Technologies B.V. holds OGL/2023/111/0069, dated 1 July 2024, and the search of 12 September 2026 showed bitcasino.io on it.
- Bitsler. Oyine N.V. holds OGL/2024/930/0387, dated 22 July 2024, with bitsler.com on the certificate on 12 September 2026, although the terms still describe the number as an application.
- Wild Fortune. Metlait SRL holds the Anjouan number ALSI-202509073-FI2, with an issue date of 30 September 2025 and an expiry date of 29 September 2026; the entry carried wildfortune.io on 12 September 2026.
- Metaspins. Here the address matches in one register and the terms point to another. In the Curaçao register, metaspins.com appears under OGL/2024/1063/0437, active, in the name of Metaspins N.V., while the terms print the Anjouan number ALSI-202606048-FI2. The two records are not reconciled.
A number printed in the terms can also carry a register status that matters before any address is compared. Rocketpot's terms print 1668/JAZ in clause 1.2, and on 12 and 13 September 2026 the portal marked it «not valid». The register states a licence number can show are set out on their own page.
Renamed brands and older addresses
Brands change names, and a rename does not move a certificate. Jack.com was called Jackbit until 29 May 2026. Its current certificate covers jack.com, while jackbit.com sits under another one, so the old and new addresses have to be looked up separately.
The same caution applies to any house that has moved from one address to another. The register entry reflects what the holder filed, not what a banner says. If a brand has two addresses in circulation, each one needs its own search before a reader can say which certificate stands behind the page in front of them.
How to compare the address bar with the certificate
A short routine works for any casino domain:
- Copy the address exactly. Note the ending (.com, .io, .ag), any hyphen and any prefix before the main name. A single extra letter is a different domain.
- Find the authority the terms name. The licence clause, usually near the start of the terms or in the footer, names the issuer. Curaçao certificates are searched on cert.cga.cw; Anjouan numbers begin with ALSI.
- Search the register by domain. Read which addresses the entry lists and whether the one you copied is among them.
- Compare the holder and the number. The company and the number on the entry should match what the footer and the terms print. Where they differ, as with Wild.io (its certificate carries Nonce Gaming B.V., its terms Stack Gaming Ltd), record both names as printed.
- Write down the date. A register entry describes one day. A later search can return a different status.
The holder company behind each brand is the next thing to match once the address checks out.
.com, .io and .bet.br
The houses in this ranking run on their own domains, mostly .com and .io. None of them uses a .bet.br address. For how the .bet.br suffix fits the federal authorisation system in Brazil, the one page on that subject is the law page.
What a mismatch tells you, and what it does not
An address missing from a certificate is a fact about the paperwork on the day of the search. It does not say the site is fake, and it does not say the company holds no licence at all: Vave's certificate is active and simply lists another address. What it does say is that the page you are on cannot be tied to that certificate by the register alone.
For that reason the ranking gives the fifth mark only when the issuer's register lists the operator's own address. The other four marks come from the terms, and how all five are applied is described on the method page. The resulting order is on the front page ranking.
Questions
Why does the casino domain matter if the brand is the same?
Because a certificate records addresses, not logos. On the portals used for this site, an entry prints the holder company, the licence number, a date and the domains covered. If the address you use is not among them, the register cannot connect that page to the certificate, even when the brand name is identical. Vave is the clearest example: its certificate listed vavegame.com on 12 September 2026, not vave.com.Where do I search a Curaçao certificate by domain?
On cert.cga.cw, the portal of the Curaçao Gaming Authority. A search by domain returns the certificate page with the holder company, the number, the grant date and the status. The searches for this site ran between 8 and 13 September 2026. For an ALSI number the lookup moves to the Anjouan register, as with Wild Fortune's entry for wildfortune.io.What happens to the certificate when a brand is renamed?
Nothing changes on its own. Jack.com was Jackbit until 29 May 2026; its current certificate, OGL/2024/1562/1139 in the name of Data Link Digital B.V., covers jack.com, while jackbit.com sits under a different certificate. Each address in circulation needs its own search before a reader can say which certificate stands behind it.Does a missing domain mean the house has no licence?
No. It means the address you checked is not on the certificate found for that day. The company may hold an active certificate for another address, as Vave does for vavegame.com. In the ranking, the fifth mark is given only when the address the operator itself uses appears on the issuer's entry, so a mismatch costs that single point.
