Licence: what is published and what is not
There are three separate questions behind the word «licence», and they have three different answers here: what the operator publishes about itself, what the regulator publishes about the company named in that footer, and whether either can be checked today. The last one changed over the summer — as of 27 September 2026 the operator's own site no longer answers.
What the footer names, and what it leaves out
Read in August 2026, the footer named the operator plainly: Elfy Interactive B.V., registered at Dr. M. J. Hugenholtzweg 25, Willemstad, Curaçao, company number 165789. That is more than many sites publish, and it is enough to look the company up.
What the footer did not carry is a licence number for this domain, and no regulator certificate was linked from it. Both matter, because a licence is granted to a company for named domains: a company can hold a valid licence while a particular site of its own sits outside it.
What the regulator's register says about that company
| Field in the register | Entry |
|---|---|
| Licence number | OGL/2024/1279/0531 |
| Licence holder | Elfy Interactive B.V. |
| Type | B2C — operator licence |
| Term | 24 June 2025 — 24 December 2025 |
| Status | «Assessment in progress» |
The entry comes from the licence register published by the Curaçao Gaming Authority, editions of 6 February and 1 April 2026, and an independent copy of the same register repeats the number and both dates. On that reading the term ran out in December 2025 and the file has been in assessment since — which is neither a refusal nor a suspension, but it is not a current licence either.
Two honest caveats belong next to that table. First, the entry names the company; the register's own domain list is what would show whether casimo.com was covered, and this site cannot confirm that it was. Second, the same company is named in the footer of a second brand, Betpin, where the licence number is printed — so the register entry is verifiably about this operator, not a namesake.
The operator's site no longer answers
Every path on casimo.com returns HTTP 404 with an empty body: the front page, the language folders, the sitemap, the favicon. The single file still served is a default robots.txt generated by the content delivery network. The domain itself resolves and is old — the Internet Archive holds captures going back to 2000 — but the most recent capture that returned anything at all, from 11 July 2025, is an empty JavaScript shell, so not even the archive shows what the casino looked like.
This is why every figure elsewhere on this site carries the date it was read. The deposit minimums in Turkish lira, the catalogue size, the two-business-day payout clause — all of it was taken from the operator's own pages in August 2026 and cannot be re-checked at source today. Nothing here should be read as a recommendation to deposit at a site that does not load.
Why a Curaçao licence changed shape
Until 2024 Curaçao ran a master-licence system: four master licence holders issued sublicences, and the number in a casino footer usually belonged to a sublicence rather than to the operator itself. Under the reform that became the National Ordinance on Games of Chance, the Curaçao Gaming Authority began licensing operators directly, and the old sublicences were wound down. That is why footers across the industry still mix an old GLH- number with a new OGL- one, and why a number that looks official can describe a framework that no longer exists.
How to check a Curaçao licence in two minutes
It takes two minutes and requires trusting no review site, including this one. Open the regulator's published licence register, search it for the number exactly as printed in the footer, and read four fields: the holder, the term, the status and the domains. If the number is absent, or the term has passed, that is your answer whatever a badge on the page says.
Two traps are worth knowing. Footers misprint numbers — a lowercase l where an uppercase I belongs — and a literal search then returns nothing, which looks like an unlicensed operator but is a typo. And a number that checks out but does not name the site you are on is not that site's licence.
What a licence does and does not give a player
A valid licence means the operator has passed a compliance process and that there is somewhere to complain other than its own support desk. It does not guarantee a payout, it does not set the return to player of the games, and it does not cap the house edge. Those are properties of each game, printed in its information panel.
The practical order for a player is short. Check that the site loads at all. Check the licence number in the register rather than on a badge. Read the withdrawal limits and the bonus rules before depositing. And keep the arithmetic in view, because no licence changes it: expected loss = stake × rounds × house edge.
Responsible gambling
Deposit limits, loss limits, session reminders and self-exclusion are the tools that work, and they work best set before a session rather than during a bad one. In a licensed operator they live in the account settings. Free, confidential help is available from national services and from organisations such as GamCare and Gamblers Anonymous.
Frequently asked questions
Is Casimo licensed?
No licence number or regulator certificate is published for this domain. The operator named in the footer, Elfy Interactive B.V. (Curaçao company 165789), appears in the Curaçao Gaming Authority's register with licence OGL/2024/1279/0531, whose term ran from 24 June 2025 to 24 December 2025 and whose status reads «Assessment in progress». A licence covers named domains, so that entry does not by itself establish that this site was covered.
What does «Assessment in progress» mean?
It means the file is open with the regulator and the term printed on it has expired. It is not a refusal and not a suspension — but it is also not a licence you can rely on today, which is why it is worth re-checking the register rather than trusting a date read months ago.
Why does the operator's site not open?
Every path on casimo.com returns an empty HTTP 404, and only a default robots.txt from the content delivery network is still served. The domain resolves, so this is not a DNS problem — what is missing is the casino. It has been in that state since at least 26 September 2026.
Where do I complain if an operator does not pay?
To the regulator named on the licence, with the licence number, the dates, the amounts and screenshots attached — for a Curaçao licence that is the Curaçao Gaming Authority. Where money moved by card or bank transfer, the payment provider's own dispute process is a second route. Keep the transaction records: they are what any complaint rests on.
