Offshore gaming licenses

The document is fine however your interpretation is inaccurate (perhaps due to the document not being clear).

EEA = European Economic Areas
OCT = Overseas Countries & Territories

OCT countries are not part of the EEA...

I hope that helps.

I know what stands for what but this document seems really misleading in it's structure.
I've found another source clearly saying that
EEA includes the Azores, Madeira (Portugal), the Ǻland islands (Finland), the Canary Islands, Ceuta and Melilla (Spain) and the French overseas departments. It also applies to Gibraltar.
It does not apply to the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, the Faeroe Islands (Denmark) or to overseas countries and territories.

So this is compatible with what you're saying. Thanks

When you get your license, you will need to "own" a physical server on the island. This you can host at the local DC or you can work with us. What we do is to offer a VPS server + Shared Server + Host your Hardware for a very competitive fee (typically the same price that the DC will give you for the rack space + bandwidth + power).

Your prices are insane. You seems to be a E-Commerce Park Reseller and I remember they ask much.

There are anyway some cheaper solutions and there is enough to operate this one own Server, there you can host a database backup and the gambling comission is happy. The production website any way no one will host in Curacao.

We have small (non-licensed) bitcoin casino hosting with us on our shared accounts for €10 - €30 per month, I am not quite sure what is insane about that?

The licensed casinos, on the other hand, do spend a lot more and if you take a look at this article which covers the cost of a gambling license in Curacao you will see that hosting with us will cost €5400 per annum (we co-locate your server + give you a VPS server + give you a shared account). In the scheme of things, that's a pretty good deal and on top of that, we manage it all for you.

But you need to look at the bigger picture:

Here is your conundrum. Curacao has effectively two license providers who you can work with (there is a third but they do not count as they do their own thing). The one is going to charge you around $12k per annum for your license and you can host anywhere... the other is going to charge you €4500 for your license BUT you must host in their associated DC.

If you go for the cheaper license, the rental for the racks + bandwidth will be more than the €450 per month deal that we offer...

AND if the DC somehow offers you a better deal, we will beat it.
