Curaçao and Anjouan compared
New foreign casinos: what sets them apart from Swedish operators
The operators in the ranking set side by side on licensing authority, cashier, identity check, bonuses, support and complaints. Every entry comes from a register record or a numbered clause in the terms, never from an opinion.
New foreign casinos differ from Swedish operators on one point that governs everything else: the licence comes from another authority, and it is the operator's own terms that decide when you identify yourself, what you may withdraw and where you take a complaint. Two authorities appear in the ranking, the Curaçao Gaming Authority and the licensing authority in Anjouan.
This page sets the operators side by side and then goes through cashier, identity check, bonuses, support and complaints. No opinions, only what stands in the register and in the terms.
The licensing authorities behind them
The table shows what the register and the terms say about each operator in the ranking, plus Vave. The dates give the day the register was read.
| Operator | Authority | Number and company | What the register shows |
|---|---|---|---|
| Vave | Curaçao | OGL/2024/1676/0905, Latcas B.V. | Active since 19 May 2025; only vavegame.com stands on the certificate (read 12 September 2026) |
| Bitcasino.io | Curaçao | OGL/2023/111/0069, Moon Technologies B.V. | Active for bitcasino.io, read 12 September 2026 |
| Rocketpot | Curaçao (entry in the terms) | 1668/JAZ, Danneskjold Ventures B.V. | The portal showed it as invalid (12 and 13 September 2026) |
| Wild Fortune | Anjouan | ALSI-202509073-FI2, Metlait SRL | Valid to 29 September 2026, with wildfortune.io among the domains (read 12 September 2026) |
| Metaspins | Two: Anjouan (terms) and Curaçao (register) | ALSI-202606048-FI2 and OGL/2024/1063/0437, Metaspins N.V. | The Curaçao entry active for metaspins.com (12 September 2026) |
| Rainbet | — | No number published | Cl. 21.6 names Gaming Services Provider N.V. |
| Shuffle.com | Curaçao | OGL/2024/1337/0628, Natural Nine B.V. | Active, issued 16 October 2024 (8 September 2026) |
| Bitsler | Curaçao | OGL/2024/930/0387, Oyine N.V. | Active for bitsler.com (read 12 September 2026), though the terms speak of an application |
| Thunderpick | Curaçao | OGL/2024/677/0722 | Register: active; the terms name neither authority nor number |
| Jack.com | Curaçao | OGL/2024/1562/1139, Data Link Digital B.V. | Active for jack.com, issued 23 July 2025 |
| Wild.io | Curaçao | Nonce Gaming B.V. on the certificate, Stack Gaming Ltd in the terms | Active; the holder unclear |
| Wolfbet | Anjouan | ALSI-132405048-FI3, Cipher Games Ltd | The number stands in the terms (cl. 1 para. 1) and in the footer |
| TrustDice | — | — | — |
The rows show that these operators are not a uniform group, not even under the same authority. Six of them have an active Curaçao entry for their own domain, and Metaspins has such an entry but an Anjouan number in its terms. The rest have Anjouan numbers, a number that showed as invalid, or no published number, and TrustDice carries dashes.
Curaçao: the portal cert.cga.cw
Most in the ranking hold their licence in Curaçao. The numbers take the form OGL followed by a year and a serial number, and they are looked up in the Curaçao Gaming Authority's portal cert.cga.cw, where the search works from domain or company name. A certificate applies to named domains, which is why Vave's certificate shows vavegame.com but not vave.com. For an operator licensed in Curaçao the domain is therefore the entry you search on. The portal can also show that a certificate no longer holds, as when Rocketpot's 1668/JAZ stood as invalid.
Anjouan: the register with domain lists
Wild Fortune and Wolfbet hold numbers from Anjouan, in the form ALSI followed by digits, and Metaspins prints such a number in its terms. The public Anjouan register shows company, status, number, dates of issue and expiry, and which domains the licence covers. Wild Fortune's entry is a clear example: Metlait SRL holds the licence, it covers 29 domains and it runs to 29 September 2026. The terms also name Tobique with the number 0000064, so two authorities appear in the operator's own papers.
Neither Curaçao nor Anjouan lies inside the EU or the EEA, and what a licence from inside the EEA would mean is on the page about EEA licences. How to read a register step by step, Malta's included, is shown on the page about licence registers.

The cashier: crypto first
Cryptocurrencies carry the cashier at the operators in the ranking. Wolfbet's FAQ counts 32 coins, Rocketpot's terms 13 (7.1 and 10.1), Bitcasino.io's help centre twelve and Wild Fortune's banking page ten, while Rainbet names nine and says the list is open. The amounts in the terms are given in USDT, US dollars or euro, so money is exchanged out of kronor before it reaches the cashier.
Three rules in the terms affect how you send money. Rocketpot wants the withdrawal to go in the same coin and to the same wallet as the deposit (11.1), Metaspins requires the same cryptocurrency (11.3), and Shuffle.com drops the wagering requirement when the crypto is withdrawn to the wallet and network it came from (10.2). At Rocketpot, deposits below 0.001 BTC are also lost (10.2).
Trustly, Swish and Zimpler appear in none of the documents the ranking rests on, neither terms nor cashier pages. Rainbet names cards, bank transfer and gift cards, and Bitsler wants identification and a proof of address before a card purchase of crypto. What to look for if a bank option does show up in a cashier is in the guide to paying from the bank.
The identity check
The question is the same everywhere: when does the operator want to see your identification? The answers differ more than the licences do.
- At the withdrawal: Rainbet (20.1), Rocketpot (11.4, 12.4) and Vave (8.7).
- After an event or a threshold: Wild Fortune (2.7 before play with BTC, 11.2 before a withdrawal), Bitsler (8.22), Shuffle.com (5.2), Metaspins (9.7) and Bitcasino.io (3.13 and 6.6, with 2,500 € as the amount).
- With no stated moment: Wolfbet (5 para. 1) and Thunderpick (21.1).
The deadlines for your documents run from three days at Rainbet to 30 calendar days at Rocketpot (12.2), with 14 days at Vave and two weeks from the withdrawal request at Wild Fortune in between. Bitsler names Veriff as the provider, and the same service turned up when the desk's account at TrustDice was reviewed in May 2026, after roughly 5,000 US$ in withdrawals in total. It is therefore the clause in the terms that decides, and how that differs from a login with BankID is explained in the walkthrough of BankID and verification.
Bonuses: packages over several deposits
The welcome bonuses in the ranking are nearly always spread over several deposits, and the wagering requirements vary widely. At Vave the first step on 24 August 2026 was a bonus of 150% with a ceiling of 1.5 BTC and 100 free spins, after which the next three deposits gave 100%, 50% and 25%. Bitcasino.io splits its bonus over three steps with at most 5,000 USDT in total, where the bonus money has to be wagered 30 times within seven days, and Wild Fortune has five steps with 225% and 250 free spins.
The wagering is what differs most. Rainbet states 40 times, Rocketpot's bonus terms 100 times, and at Vave the deposit itself has to be wagered three times before a withdrawal under 8.11. Bonuses should therefore be compared on the requirements rather than on the percentage. How to work out what a requirement means in money is in the walkthrough of bonus terms.
Support and complaints
Contact with support goes through the operator's own channels. Vave gives live chat and e-mail. For the rest, check which channels exist in the help section before you deposit, and keep all correspondence in writing.
A complaint takes two steps. First you turn to the operator, with the date, the amount and the clause you believe has been applied wrongly. After that you can turn to the authority that issued the licence, and this is where the register matters: at Wild.io you need to know whether the contracting party is Nonce Gaming B.V. or Stack Gaming Ltd, and at Metaspins which of two authorities applies. Rainbet's terms name Gaming Services Provider N.V. as the authority (21.6). A complaint is therefore easier to pursue if you know who issued the licence before anything goes wrong.
Forum threads can show which questions other players have, but they are no evidence; how each common question is put to the terms and the register is shown in the walkthrough of forum questions. What the operators themselves publish about paying a win out is gathered on the page about payouts.
What sets them apart from Swedish operators
In short, five things differ, and all of them can be read in advance:
- The licence comes from Curaçao or Anjouan, and the status is looked up in the authority's register.
- The cashier is built on crypto, with amounts in USDT, US dollars or euro.
- The identity check happens when the terms say it does, from the first BTC stake at Wild Fortune to the withdrawal at Rocketpot.
- The bonuses are packages with wagering requirements that differ many times over.
- Complaints go to the operator and after that to the foreign authority.
Which of these operators carry the most recent licence dates is shown on the page about the newcomers. The ordering by the five questions is in the ranking. Dates of reading and addresses for every register in the table are in the list of sources.
