13 - Regulatory Scope

Housebets is licensed by the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) under licence number OGL/2024/431/0231. This page explains which services on the platform are covered by that licence, and which are not.

Services covered by the CGA licence

• Casino games — slots, table games, live dealer (CGA Regulated)
• Housebets original games — provably fair house games (CGA Regulated)
• Sports betting (CGA Regulated)

For these services, you benefit from the player protections described in these Terms including our complaints process, the right to escalate to the CGA, and the jurisdiction of the courts of Curaçao.

Services outside the CGA licence

The following services are available on or alongside the Housebets platform but are not covered by CGA licence OGL/2024/431/0231. The CGA has no regulatory oversight over these services and its player protection framework does not apply to them.

Fiat Payment Processing

Fiat deposits and withdrawals are processed by third-party licensed payment service providers including Bridge Technologies (Cyprus) Limited (HE 440867) and other agents. These entities operate under their own regulatory frameworks, separate from the CGA. Disputes about fiat payments should be raised directly with the relevant payment provider.

$HBTS Token & On-Chain Rewards

The $HBTS token, airdrops, on-chain reward mechanics, and token economics are not regulated gaming products. The $HBTS token may constitute a financial instrument in your jurisdiction. Token values are volatile and can fall to zero. Participation is entirely at your own risk. Full token terms at housebets.com/token.

Affiliate & Referral Programme

The Housebets affiliate and referral revenue share programme is a commercial arrangement. The CGA has no oversight over affiliate activities and its dispute resolution process does not apply. See the Affiliate Terms for full details.

DeFi Instruments & Token Staking

Any DeFi or token staking features offered in connection with the $HBTS token are financial services outside the scope of the CGA gaming licence. Their availability and legality may vary by jurisdiction.

Third-Party Game Studio Software

Games supplied by third-party studios (e.g. Evolution Gaming, Pragmatic Play, NetEnt) are governed by those providers' own licences from other regulatory authorities such as the Malta Gaming Authority. Their RNG certification and payout verification operate under those separate licences. Housebets acts as the licensed operator offering access to these games.

Redirections to Non-CGA Entities

Where the platform redirects you to a service operated by a non-CGA entity, you will be explicitly informed before the redirection. Proceeding constitutes your acknowledgement that you are leaving the CGA-regulated environment.

Disputes about unregulated services

The CGA complaint escalation process at gaming.curacao.com applies only to the regulated services listed above. For disputes about unregulated services, contact [email protected] — we will assist where possible, but cannot guarantee resolution under the CGA framework for these matters.
