Curaçao licence or Anjouan number: what the register line really shows
A number in a footer is a claim; the register line is the record. Here is how OGL and ALSI numbers are built and which states the houses in this ranking returned between 8 and 13 September 2026.
Most houses in this ranking print a Curaçao licence number or an Anjouan one somewhere in the footer or the first clause of their terms. That string is the starting point, not the answer. What counts is the line the issuing authority keeps about it: who holds it, from which date, for which domain, and in what status.
Below are the two formats you will meet, the states the register searches returned for the ranked houses between 8 and 13 September 2026, and a short routine for doing the same lookup yourself.
What a Curaçao licence number looks like
Certificates of the Curaçao Gaming Authority carry numbers that start with OGL and are split by slashes into four parts: the letters OGL, a four-digit year and two further numbers. OGL/2024/1337/0628 is a typical example; it belongs to Natural Nine B.V., the company behind Shuffle.com.
The public portal for these numbers is cert.cga.cw. A search there returns a certificate page, and for Shuffle.com on 8 September 2026 that page printed the company name, the company number 160998, the domain shuffle.com, the grant date of 16 October 2024 and the status «Active». Those five fields are what a reader compares with the operator's own footer and terms.
Older strings in a different shape also turn up. Rocketpot's clause 1.2 prints 1668/JAZ, a format that does not follow the OGL pattern at all.

Anjouan numbers: the ALSI format
Anjouan licences read differently: the prefix ALSI, a hyphen, a long run of digits, a hyphen and a short suffix such as FI2 or FI3. ALSI-202509073-FI2 is the number Metlait SRL holds for Wild Fortune. Its entry printed an issue date of 30 September 2025, an expiry date of 29 September 2026 and the domain wildfortune.io.
An expiry date is worth writing down. Once that day has passed, only a fresh search can say what the entry holds.
Curaçao licence states found in the ranking
The same number format hides very different situations. These are the states the ranked houses showed, each tied to its own record:
- Active, domain on the entry. Bitcasino.io (Moon Technologies B.V., OGL/2023/111/0069, dated 1 July 2024), Shuffle.com (Natural Nine B.V., OGL/2024/1337/0628) and Jack.com (Data Link Digital B.V., OGL/2024/1562/1139, dated 23 July 2025).
- Active in the register, silent in the terms. Thunderpick: the portal lists OGL/2024/677/0722 with an active status; its terms give no authority and no number.
- Active, but called an application. Oyine N.V. holds OGL/2024/930/0387 for bitsler.com, dated 22 July 2024, yet the house's own terms go on calling that number an application.
- «Not valid» on the portal. Rocketpot's 1668/JAZ: both lookups, dated 12 and 13 September 2026, returned «not valid».
- Two authorities, not reconciled. Metaspins quotes Anjouan (ALSI-202606048-FI2) in its terms; the Curaçao portal, for its part, shows Metaspins N.V. with OGL/2024/1063/0437 active on metaspins.com.
- Two holder names. Wild.io's certificate says Nonce Gaming B.V.; its terms say Stack Gaming Ltd.
- Expiry date printed. Wild Fortune, as above, to 29 September 2026.
- Number in the terms only. Wolfbet prints ALSI-132405048-FI3 in clause 1, paragraph 1, and in its footer.
- No number published. Rainbet shows a seal without a number; for a complaint, its terms send customers to Gaming Services Provider N.V. (cl. 21.6).
Vave, above the ranking, sits on certificate OGL/2024/1676/0905 (holder Latcas B.V., in force since 19 May 2025); the portal listed vavegame.com as its only domain on 12 September 2026. How the address on a certificate is matched is covered on its own page.
Revoked certificates
The Curaçao portal does not only hold live records. Five Curaçao licences in that register carry a revoked status. The brands behind them are not named on this site, and none of them appears in the ranking.
A revoked line reads like any other certificate page until the status field. That is why the status, not the presence of a number, is the part to read first.
Checking a Curaçao licence yourself
A lookup takes a few minutes and needs no account:
- Copy the number and the company exactly as the footer or the licence clause prints them.
- Pick the portal that matches the format: cert.cga.cw for OGL numbers, the Anjouan register for ALSI ones.
- Search by domain as well as by number. A number can be right while the address you use is missing from the entry.
- Read the status field and any date: grant, issue or expiry.
- Set the holder beside the terms. Where the certificate and the licence clause give two company names, keep both. The company behind each brand is traced on a separate page.
- Note the day of the search. A status describes that day only.
The ranking's fifth criterion rests on exactly this lookup, and the five criteria are explained on the method page. The scored order itself is on the front page.
Questions
How do I recognise a Curaçao licence number?
Numbers issued by the Curaçao Gaming Authority start with OGL and are split by slashes into four parts, for example OGL/2024/1337/0628. They are searched on cert.cga.cw, where a certificate page shows the holder company, the domain, the grant date and a status line. Strings in other shapes, such as the 1668/JAZ printed in Rocketpot's clause 1.2, do not follow that pattern.What does «not valid» on the portal mean for a ranked house?
It means the certificate page returned that status on the day of the search. For Rocketpot, whose terms print 1668/JAZ, the portal showed «not valid» on 12 and 13 September 2026. In the ranking that record does not earn the fifth mark. It describes the register line on those days and nothing more; a later search could return something different.Why does Metaspins appear under two authorities?
The terms quote Anjouan and ALSI-202606048-FI2, whereas the Curaçao portal on 12 September 2026 showed a certificate for metaspins.com, active, numbered OGL/2024/1063/0437 and held by Metaspins N.V. The two records point to different issuers and nothing on file reconciles them, so both are shown as found. A reader checking the house should search both registers and note the date.Why are the revoked Curaçao licences not named?
Five Curaçao certificates in the register carry a revoked status, and none of those brands is part of this ranking. Naming them would add nothing to reading the ranked houses' papers. The practical lesson is general: on any certificate page, read the status field first, because a revoked record still shows a number and a company.
