D9D9 Online Casino License Check: Read the Register Yourself
An online casino license is permission from a regulator for a named company to run gambling.
| Fact | Value |
|---|---|
| D9D9 AMLC and Anti Money Laundering Rules for Casino Players | The AMLC is the Anti-Money Laundering Council, the body that enforces the Anti-Money Laundering Act (RA 9160). |
| D9D9 CICC and the 1326 Hotline | The CICC is the Cybercrime Investigation and Coordinating Center, an inter-agency body created by Section 24 of RA 10175, the Cybercrime Prevention Act of 2012. |
| D9D9 Website Legit Checker | To check whether a website is legit yourself, read the address letter by letter, remember the padlock only proves encryption, note who the footer names, look that name up on the regulator's own list, check the domain record, and refuse any off-site payment request. |
| D9D9 Mirror Site | A mirror site is a second address that opens the same casino as the first. |
| D9D9 Offshore Gambling | Offshore gambling means the operator holds its licence in another country, such as Curaçao, while serving players elsewhere. |
| D9D9 Curaçao Gaming Authority | The Curaçao Gaming Authority is the regulator that licenses and supervises Curaçao's online gaming sector under the National Ordinance on Games of Chance, in force since 24 December 2024. |
Before you deposit with D9D9 or anywhere else, you can check an online casino license yourself in a few minutes, using only the regulator’s own pages. A licence is not a logo. It is a record in a public register, held by a named company, with an issue date, an expiry date and a status.
This page shows what that record looks like, where the Curaçao and Philippine regulators publish theirs, and which claims fail the check.
What an online casino license actually is
A licence is permission from a regulator for one legal entity to offer gambling under that regulator’s rules. The brand name you see on a phone screen is not the licensee. The licensee is a registered company, and the name of that company is what you look up.
Two regulators come up most for Filipino players, and they do different jobs.
| Regulator | What it licenses | Where it publishes the record |
|---|---|---|
| Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) | The online gaming sector, under the National Ordinance on Games of Chance (LOK), in force from 24 December 2024 | A licence register on cga.cw with an online gaming licence list, a certificates list and an enforcement register |
| PAGCOR, the Philippine regulator | Gaming within Philippine territory, including electronic games run through licensed venues | Lists of registered brands and domain names on pagcor.ph, plus a security-seal verification page |
Read the regulator’s own wording, not a summary from a review site. The Curaçao Gaming Authority page covers how its register works.
License verification in five steps
License verification is a lookup, not an opinion. Each step below can be done on a phone browser.
- Open the casino’s footer and copy the full legal entity name exactly, including the ending (N.V., B.V., Ltd and similar).
- Open the regulator’s own website by typing its address yourself: cga.cw for Curaçao, pagcor.ph for the Philippines.
- Go to the licence register or list of registered brands and domain names and search for the entity name.
- Read the row: licensee, company type, issued date, expiry date and status. An expired date or a revoked status ends the check.
- Open the enforcement register on the same site and search the name again, because a licence can be revoked after it was issued.
If any step fails, the claim is unproven. Do the same lookup for the company registry using the company registration number, as the Curaçao gaming register walk-through shows, so the names match on both sides.
What a register entry shows
The CGA’s online gaming licence list, dated 21 September 2026 and running to 28 pages, is a table. Here is what each column answers.
| Column | What it tells you | What to do with it |
|---|---|---|
| Licence number | An identifier assigned by the regulator | Never copy it from a casino; read it from the register |
| Licensee | The legal entity holding the licence | Compare to the footer, letter by letter |
| Company type | B2C (serves players) or B2B (supplies platforms or games) | A B2B entry is a supplier, not a player-facing casino |
| Company registration number | The entry for that company in the company registry | Match it to the registry extract |
| Issued and expires | The licence period | Check today’s date falls inside it |
| Status | Whether the licence stands | Anything other than a standing licence ends the check |
The B2B row matters. A software supplier can be licensed while the brand you are about to deposit with is not.
Red flags in a licence claim
Most failed claims fail in the same few ways. Each pair below is a claim and the check that answers it.
The footer shows a badge image but no company name.
Without an entity name there is nothing to search. Ask the casino’s support which legal entity and which regulator the badge refers to, then run the five steps.
The claim cites a PAGCOR offshore or internet gaming licence.
PAGCOR’s own notice says all Internet Gaming Licensees and Authorized Providers were cancelled effective 15 December 2024 under Executive Order No. 74, and that any site claiming a valid offshore or internet gaming licence from PAGCOR is fraudulent. Read it on pagcor.ph under Remote Operations and Ancillary Services, and see how offshore gambling claims differ.
The entity name on the licence differs from the name in the footer.
Different names mean different companies. Platforms often run many brands from one licensed entity, so check whether a shared platform explains it, as the mirror site and lookalike guide sets out, and ask who holds your account.
The licence is real but the address you are on is not listed anywhere.
Licences cover companies, and PAGCOR also lists registered domain names. A second address needs its own proof, so read how a mirror site differs from a copy before you sign in.
What a licence does not tell you
A licence names who is accountable. It does not describe how good a game’s return is, how fast cash-outs run, or whether the lobby treats you well. Those live elsewhere.
- Game return: open the game’s own info screen and read the percentage, then see the RTP meaning page so you read it correctly.
- Payout rules: read the cashier and terms inside the lobby, not a banner.
- Complaints: the CGA states on its online gaming page that it does not handle individual player complaints and is not a civil court. Raise the problem with the operator first, and use the regulator’s complaints address for patterns of misconduct.
- Scams: a fake licence claim is a reportable matter; the CICC page explains what its hotline handles.
- Money: the AMLC page explains why operators ask you to verify identity.
Pages under this one
Each page below answers one narrow question in the licence check. Read them in any order.
| Page | The question it answers |
|---|---|
| Curaçao Gaming Authority | What the regulator lists, and what an N.V. ending and registry number let you look up |
| Offshore gambling | What changes when the licence is foreign |
| Mirror site | Why a brand runs several addresses, and how a shared white label lobby differs |
| Website legit checker | A step-by-step check without a tool’s score |
| CICC | Where to report a scam |
| AMLC | Why identity checks exist |
For a direct answer on the brand itself, open the D9D9 legit page and run the same five steps on the name you find in the lobby.
Your checklist before any deposit
Do this once per casino, on your phone, before the first deposit.
- Write down the legal entity name from the footer.
- Search it in the regulator’s register and read status, issued and expires.
- Search it in the enforcement register.
- Search the entity in the company registry so the registration number matches.
- Search the address you are using in PAGCOR’s list of registered domain names if the casino claims to serve the Philippines.
- Set a deposit amount you can lose, and keep to it.
The whole check takes about ten minutes, and you only repeat it when the footer’s company name changes. Play is for players aged 21 or older.
FAQ
What is an online casino license?
It is a permit a regulator grants to a named legal entity, allowing it to offer gambling to players under that regulator's rules. The licence belongs to the company, not to the brand name on the lobby. That is why every check starts from the company name in the footer.
Who issues an online casino license?
A licensing authority in some jurisdiction. In Curaçao it is the Curaçao Gaming Authority, which licenses the online gaming sector under the National Ordinance on Games of Chance. In the Philippines it is PAGCOR, which publishes its own lists of registered brands and domain names.
How do I do a license verification myself?
Copy the legal entity name from the footer, open the regulator's own register, search for that name and read the licensee, company type, issued, expires and status columns. Then compare the entity name letter by letter with the footer. Five steps are laid out above.
Is a licence badge or seal image enough proof?
No. An image is just a file anyone can paste into a footer. A register entry on the regulator's own domain is the record; the badge is only a claim pointing at it.
Does a licence mean the games pay well or that withdrawals are guaranteed?
No. A licence tells you who is accountable and to which regulator a complaint about conduct can be raised. It says nothing about RTP or payout speed. Read each game's own info screen for RTP, and the cashier for payout rules.
Ano ang gagawin ko kung walang makita sa register?
Huwag mag-deposit. Re-check the spelling of the legal entity name, including N.V. or B.V. at the end, and look at the regulator's enforcement register too. If the company is still absent, treat the licence claim as unproven and ask the casino's support which regulator and entity it refers to.
