The Curacao license is the most popular because it has a much easier requirements and very convenient to get in able for your casino legally operate on many countries that there license is valid. Curacao is one of the early license provider on crypto gambling business that’s why it was the best choice for crypto casino. There’s other license provider but they have a very limited country scope which is not practical at all.
Curacao KYC is now adjusting based on the casino country origin because there license scope varies per country judicial rules about online casino.
You are right, in fact many casinos the first licenses they look for is the Curacao license and they are very well accepted, when counting the casinos on the forum, most of them have it, so it is the most accepted and I think all members of the forum think similarly, I don't know, but talking about this license is because there are many things that may be missing to learn, I know that some do not like the license, because it usually presents some restrictions to some pa'piss in common, it is something that I do not agree with but those are their regulations, the truth is that I do not understand either, because nobody should be prohibited when it comes to games.
That is not a license that I trust to be fair, and that's not the reason why I trust places. Like for example let's take Cloudbet into consideration here, when we are talking about here, I trust cloudbet more than I trust curacao license, which means that if they didn't have it, nothing would change for me.
Places shouldn't really go for licenses directly, they would need to first gain the trust of the people, and license is not a way of doing it, time is. If you are a casino for a long time and never have anyone complaining about you then you are going to be fine. Cloudbet is awesome and they will keep being awesome with whatever license they have or not have.
