WILLEMSTAD – The Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA) has issued a public warning against the online gambling website operating under the domain trumpbet.cc, stating that the platform is neither authorized nor licensed in Curaçao and is falsely claiming regulatory approval.
In a notice released by the regulator, the CGA said the website unlawfully uses official Curaçao Gaming Authority branding, including its logo and Digital Authorization Seal, in an apparent attempt to mislead players into believing that it operates under a legitimate Curaçao license.
“The online gambling website ‘TRUMPBET.CC’ is neither authorized nor licensed by the CGA,” the authority stated. “This website falsely presents itself as licensed by the CGA and unlawfully uses the logo and details of the CGA and its Digital Authorization Seal in order to mislead the public.”
The regulator urged players to verify the licensing status of online gambling operators through the official Curaçao Gaming Authority license registry before engaging with any platform.
According to the CGA, the warning underscores ongoing challenges faced by regulators worldwide in combating fraudulent online gambling operators that exploit the reputation of established licensing jurisdictions such as Curaçao. The island has long been one of the most widely used hubs for offshore online gambling licenses, making it a frequent target for misuse by illegal operators.
The operator behind trumpbet.cc claims on its website to have been active in online gambling since 2017 and promotes itself as operating under a “fully licensed structure,” offering both cryptocurrency and fiat betting services globally. The site advertises features such as instant withdrawals, decentralized gaming infrastructure and blockchain-based betting systems.
However, independent research indicates that trumpbet.cc appears to be part of a broader network of fraudulent gambling websites. These sites reportedly share identical templates, promotional language and technical infrastructure, suggesting a coordinated operation rather than independent businesses.
Domains linked to this network include trumpcasino.click, trump777.bet, trumpcasino.live, trumpixz.com, trumpgo.top, trumpsino.digital, grandhash.cc and caiwax.com. Each of these websites presents itself as a licensed crypto casino and uses nearly identical descriptions, referring to a “blockchain-based crypto casino with transparent smart contracts, secure bets, and continuous operation since 2017.”
The repeated use of identical marketing text, visual layouts and licensing claims strongly points to a template-based scam operation. Such networks allow operators to rapidly launch new domains when older ones are reported or shut down. The use of cryptocurrency payments further complicates efforts to trace funds and recover losses.
Crypto casino scams have become increasingly sophisticated in recent years, often promoted through online advertisements, affiliate marketing and social media channels. By mimicking the appearance of licensed and technologically advanced platforms, these operators attempt to quickly gain trust while evading regulatory oversight.
The CGA has not identified the individuals or entities behind trumpbet.cc, and the true operators remain unknown. The authority reiterated that consumers should exercise caution and always verify licensing information directly with regulators before participating in online gambling activities.
