WILLEMSTAD – Finance Minister Charles Cooper has raised new questions about millions of guilders flowing through Curaçao's online gaming sector, alleging that cryptocurrency payments from online casinos were routed through a Czech payment provider before being transferred to Malta-based Random Consulting Limited.
According to Cooper, the Czech account was used to receive cryptocurrency payments from licensed online gaming operators. Those funds were allegedly forwarded to Random Consulting Limited, a company linked to Mario Galea that has a contract with Curaçao's gaming regulator to provide support services related to supervision of the online gaming sector.
Cooper previously disclosed that Random Consulting received approximately 8.3 million guilders annually under its contract. During his appearance on Radio Direct, however, he said the company received 11.5 million guilders in 2025.
The minister also claimed that Random Consulting manages between 200 million and 300 million guilders annually. He said further investigation is needed to determine exactly how much of those funds remained with the company and what services were provided in exchange.
According to documents cited in local reporting, the Curaçao Gaming Authority instructed casino operators to make cryptocurrency payments through an intermediary account with the Czech payment provider. Payment details were reportedly distributed through Telegram.
Cooper's latest statements also renewed his criticism of former Finance Minister Javier Silvania, under whose tenure the new gaming legislation and the restructuring of Curaçao's gaming regulator were developed.
Silvania has not yet responded publicly to the latest allegations. Likewise, the Curaçao Gaming Authority has not issued a public explanation regarding the Czech payment account or the payments made to Random Consulting Limited.
