Offshore gambling licences in 2026: 15 active jurisdictions compared, the gray zones, and whether a Curaçao licence is legal in the Philippines
AskSpinner compared the online gambling licensing regimes still active in 15 jurisdictions. For each one we set out the regulator, the law, the licence types, the public register and how many entries it lists, and any official fees, using only the regulators' own documents as of November 11, 2026. Curaçao's register lists 667 licences and Anjouan's lists 1,287. Both include entries whose printed expiry date has passed but which are not marked as expired. Eight other jurisdictions, including Belize and the Philippines' former offshore regimes, were dropped because they no longer license, or never licensed, operators serving foreign players. Under Philippine law, a Curaçao licence does not authorise an operator to offer gambling to people in the Philippines.
