Latest update: Return to player and volatility stats on nearly every Oshi casino game.

Why do this?
The game experience is directly affected by volatility and return to player stats.
As far as I know, we are the only casino now giving out all this information.

Volatility: It affects gameplay in many ways.
   - High volatility = big wins with very little in between.
   - Low volatility = lots of little wins, few big ones. now it's easy to pick games that suit how you like to play.
   - Now you see volatility for nearly every Oshi casino game, helping you choose what to play next.

Return to player data (RTP): Statistically all games ultimately end up with a house edge. But if there is a big winner or loser, it changes the return to player percentages. Knowing the RTP means you can:
Optimist:  
  - Pick out games which feel like they should finally pay out because of a low RTP
  - Choose games with a high RTP because they might be on a lucky streak  
Pessimist:
  - Avoid games because the RTP looks too low.
  - Avoid games which feel like they are 'overcooked', because of a high RTP.
Finally, you can see all of this RTP data on nearly every game.

How do we do this?
- We've done an integration with https://slotcatalog.com, who have return to player data on thousands of different slots games.
- If we have internal data showing RTP, we will publish that.

So, once again you are not being very specific. Typically usage rights are related to copywriting issues, such as music or literature.
In the case of music, a writer produces content and a third party might want to use the music for an advert whatever and therefore they seek agreement on usage rights for that content.

The Curaçao government would have a licence type which allows for 'white labelling'. The licensing authority authorises an operator to use an appropriate licence and the operator then works with marketing partners within a white label framework. This framework is used with numerous gaming authorities, so I don't understand where the legal irregularities are? And besides which, you've never put together a coherent legal argument on any thread I've ever read from you.

You mentioned earlier " because the 2 key conditions under its supervision and responsibility are intentionally and habitually not fulfilled. "  So, which conditions exactly? Can you dig them out and copy/paste them into this thread and give us a commentary so we can understand exactly what you're talking about?

You have to be more specific with me.
- Which parts of our terms and conditions are you talking about?
- What parts of the Curaçao civil and criminal laws are being breached?
- And how does this affect the licence Oshi is using? ( Bear in mind, as a white label operator Oshi is actually owned and operated by Direx. All we do is the marketing. )

Furthermore, by saying our license is invalid, you're saying every Curaçao operator using any kind of white label service is also trading illegally. Therefore your talking about hundreds of casino brands. If you make big claims about the illegality of brands like ours, you had better back it up with some facts.

And by the way Game Protect, I've never seen you pull together a decent argument on any of these threads... Sad really, because I like pressure testing assumptions. I guess you just don't have the intellect to carry off a solid argument.

I'll reply when you start making sense

@game protect, thank you for bothering to write a fairly comprehensive reply. As ever you lie and misdirect for profit. Sad thing is the people who are stupid enough believe you are the ones that genuinely need protection. You're just the worst kind of predator, trying to mislead people for profit.


Anyway, back to Curaçao licensing...This thread is insightful https://www.quora.com/What-are-drawbacks-of-a-Cura%C3%A7ao-gaming-license

As I see it:

You have country specific licensing jurisdictions which act as a framework for regulation, tax collection and consumer protection. The UK gambling council is a good example.

You then have jurisdictions like Curaçao who don't offer much regulation, impose minimal tax collection and have virtually no consumer protection. However, despite the lack of 'strength' with this license, it does make it easier for game providers, banks and other services to decide whether they work with casino brands.

In this case a game provider will say: "you have Curaçao licence, you can use our games". Some game providers don't want to run games with Curaçao brands for instance. And there are some game providers who are happy to provide games to unlicensed casinos.

The catch with game providers allowing the games on unlicensed casinos is that most of the big wealthy markets are regulated. So if the UKGC saw a game provider allowing games to be run on unlicensed casinos they might say these game providers cannot trade in UK. Licensed jurisdictions have a lot of discretionary power.

Back to game protect's narrative

Game protect is saying that Curaçao licence is of no validity. In one sense that's true. In the UK you cannot trade with the Curaçao licence. You have to have a UK gambling licence.

But, there are grey markets i.e. Canada where there is no local licensing for online gambling and therefore operators from any country origin can trade there.

However, a Curaçao licence is still valuable because as I mentioned earlier because it means that game providers will offer services because of that licence. It's got nothing to do with the law in Canada as applied to Curaçao. Curaçao has no jurisdiction over Canada.

The sad part is that game protect does understand this, but he's a charlatan and constantly lies for profit.

(Copied from an earlier reply... since game protect isn't interested in a debate, just trolling)


Once again game protect your not making any sense so I will try and help you...

What game protect is trying to say is that he believes the Curaçao gaming licence has no validity. Of course he doesn't say that he is an affiliate, marketing Curaçao licenced operators. Nothing like a little hypocrisy!

I have talked about this in the past, but to save reader going through numerous posts, let me explain stuff about Curaçao licensing and white label operators.

Different countries have their own licensing regimes. This list gives you a good idea the amount of regulation per country https://www.keytocasino.com/en/gambling-laws-around-the-world.html

Licensing does three things:
- acts as a framework for government get tax revenues
- gives some clarity for a game providers when it comes to deciding which country territories and or which casino operators they are going to work with. For example some game providers might not want to work with Curaçao licensed operators... Equally other game providers might not want to work with UK licensed operators.
- Creates a framework which can be used to support consumer welfare

Obviously as a reader, you're interested in consumer protection.

In the UK, gambling is highly regulated and there is a substantial tax take from the UK government. This regulation does improve consumer protection for individuals within the UK.

For European countries which don't have localised regulation, many operators use Malta licences which has an intermediate number of consumer protections associated with it https://calvinayre.com/regulators/malta/

Curaçao licences are fairly weak on consumer protection. To understand more:  https://calvinayre.com/regulators/curacao/. Curaçao licences are used

There is a correlation between the cost of a licence and the number of consumer protections it affords. More you pay,, the more resource a licensing authority will put in to consumer arbitration.
There's also a correlation between cost of licensing and value of a market place. For example UK licences are expensive, they offer a high consumer protection and it's a very profitable market if you can get a foothold

White labels
Oshi is a white label operator. Softswiss or now known as BGAMING handle transactions, licensing, customer services, game integration and we handle the marketing and strategy for Oshi. Were also responsible for our player terms and conditions.
For example, you read through my post you'll see that I'm very straight about stuff and I care about being fair with our players.  I've made those choices and as a brand and we live or die by our values. Different white label operators will have their own game plan.

As a white label operator I am allowed to use Softswiss's (BGAMING) Curaçao licence as a white label operator partner.

Why doesn't it show you is the licence holder?
The licence is in the name of Direx, which is a corporate entity registered in Curaçao tax and licensing reasons. Softswiss is a separate business which owns Direx. This arrangement is very similar to Google or Amazon or any other multinational business which has registered companies in different country territories for either licensing or tax reasons. Game protect has probably tried to say that it's all very scammy, but the reality is that it's just corporate/accountancy stuff.

Our licence: https://validator.antillephone.com/validate?domain=oshi.io&seal_id=9bf8464341b46cc486bd3ffb6525387b6cc808482d2cbd423b8b696342949e765e4287eb6913bc21514f1dc7713cf51d&stamp=6c9eea068af302a06c89ad6611841838

Technically I am not the licence holder. Direx is. However I, along with all other white label operators Softswiss / BGAMING network act as representatives of Direx. So for example if one of the white label operators was involved in attempted money laundering, Direx could lose its licence with Curaçao and every white label operator on the network would be unable to trade.

This puts a lot of responsibility on Direx to police the behaviour of every white label operator, because if there a serious licensing contravention, the whole network of sites could go down.

What does all this mean to you?

Arbitration
If you're in a country territories which doesn't have a local licensing framework for online gambling and gambling is legal where you are, you can use any casino (within reason) this table gives you some useful info https://www.keytocasino.com/en/gambling-laws-around-the-world.html

Consumer protection for players using Curaçao licence is not as good as I would like, but then brands like us rely on the arbitration services of affiliates like AskGamblers to deal with customer issues.
https://www.askgamblers.com/online-casinos/oshi-casino-review/

We also rely on our good reputation in forums like this, which is why I'm so unhappy about 'Game protect' and his nonsense, because he doesn't understand the law and deliberately misdirects and misinforms to get people to go to his affiliate website. However, every nonsense post he puts up gives me an opportunity to talk some sense (I hope).

I've won but they're not paying!
In the end all casinos like us can do, is have clear terms and conditions that are fair, which is why we've written all our terms and conditions in plain English. Most people treat a casino as a service, where they go and gamble. However there is a large minority who treat us as an anniversary to be gamed or profit. They may win money by steering the odds in their favour i.e. through volatility arbitration or multiple duplicate account and then get caught out on terms and conditions. This kind of thing happens frequently.

Why gamble on a Curaçao licenced operator site?

Simply: Cryptocurrency. Curaçao allows casinos to use Cryptocurrency whilst not imposing overly rigourous KYC (know your customer) restrictions. In the UK, operators can offer Cryptocurrency as a payment option, but every customer has to be KYC'd. Since much of the benefit of Cryptocurrency is  pseudo-anonymity and lack of hassle, having all of this KYC and admin means you may as well just use a debit card.

Of course, I would like it if Curaçao was tighter on KYC requirements and hopefully they will do this in the future. I'd also like it if they were better on consumer arbitration.

In the end, any consumer should do their research and objectively look at a casino's reputation before putting their money down.
