Curaçao Casino Leaks Now Searchable in Public Database
Casino Secrets has opened more than 40,000 documents to public searches, allowing users to trace casino domains to operating companies, ownership records and licensing files.
Written by Editorial Desk23 September 2026

A public database of leaked Curaçao Gaming Authority records launched on September 23, giving users access to documents behind hundreds of gambling businesses previously covered in the Casino Secrets investigation.
Cybersecurity researcher Lilith Wittmann announced the release as part of the international investigation into offshore gambling. The website, Casino Secrets, lets users search by company name or casino domain and explore the associated records.
Gambling Lore previously covered the regulator’s breach and the subsequent exposure of ownership information. The latest development makes part of that material directly searchable, extending access beyond the findings published by the journalists who investigated it.
How many casinos and owners are covered?
At the time of review, the database’s directory listed 3,047 entities, including 1,496 B2C operator entries, 236 holdings entries, 1,294 official representatives, 15 trust-service entries and four master licensors. Two further entries were uncategorized.
Those are database categories, not a count of 3,047 active casinos. The directory includes intermediaries as well as operators, and an operator may be associated with multiple websites.
The ownership investigation provides a separate, more specific measure. Follow the Money examined 646 organizations that held licenses as of December 2025 and verified 897 ultimate beneficial owner records relating to 767 individuals. Some individuals appeared against more than one company.
That is the detailed figure behind the roughly 800 owners reported in the initial coverage. It also includes historical records: 65 individuals had transferred their stakes before the cutoff, while another 30 could not be confirmed as still holding ownership because documents were missing.
The site separately cites more than 8,000 licensed casino domains in Curaçao. That figure describes websites, rather than unique companies or owners, and should not be read as a verified count of casinos with complete files in the public release.
What can be found in the database?
The company pages organize records into documents, licensing processes, domains and related entities. This allows users to connect a casino’s web address with its operating company, then examine the roles and corporate relationships recorded against that business.
For example, searching stake.com leads to Medium Rare N.V. Its page displayed 54 documents, with categories including audits, articles of incorporation, a business plan, company structure, directors lists, a share ledger and source-of-funding records.
Its related-entities section identifies UBO, executive, director and compliance roles, alongside local representatives and a master licensor. The records include dates showing when relationships began or ended. Mladen Vuckovic is listed in UBO records, illustrating the distinction between what was declared to the regulator and the wider question of who controls a business.
The domain section also preserves status history. Medium Rare’s page showed two entries for stake.com with different statuses, rather than two separate casino brands. Duplicate or historical entries therefore need to be accounted for when interpreting the totals.
Public release covers part of the wider leak
Casino Secrets advertises more than 40,000 publicly searchable documents. Its wider investigation cites over 84,000 Curaçao documents and more than two terabytes of analyzed data, drawing on gambling authorities and corporate registers in several jurisdictions. Wittmann described the launch as a partial release.
In her account of the investigation, Wittmann said the underlying CGA material included corporate structure charts, business plans, funding information, internal assessments and support tickets, alongside identity and financial documents submitted for due diligence. That describes the broader material obtained, not a guarantee that every document type is publicly available for every company.
Declared ownership still up for questions
The records do not necessarily settle who ultimately controls each casino. Follow the Money said the leaked database sometimes conflicted with supporting documents, requiring manual checks of ownership filings and regulatory assessments.
Casino Secrets also warns that its information runs through August 2026 and may contain errors, gaps or outdated records. Inclusion does not establish wrongdoing.
The practical change is access: readers can now trace a casino domain into the company records behind it and examine the ownership declarations themselves, rather than relying solely on the names disclosed in individual reports.
