Donbet Review: Curacao Licence, Not UKGC Licensed

Donbet attracts around 3,000 UK searches a month for a Curaçao casino with no Gambling Commission licence. Its operator, GTW B.V., holds Curaçao licence OGL/2024/250/0115, the same company and licence as MyStake, and its last published welcome offer was 150% up to €750 plus 50 free spins. Our score: 6 out of 10 for a UK audience.

Who runs it

The Curaçao Gaming Authority’s certificate for donbet.com names GTW B.V., a Curaçao company with number 165433, licensed under OGL/2024/250/0115. The licence was granted on 1 July 2024, and the certificate showed its status as active.

MyStake names the same company and the same licence number, so a dispute at either site lands with the same licence holder. Earlier versions of Donbet’s footer named Santeda International B.V., the company behind Goldenbet, Rolletto and Cosmobet, before the group split its brands between two companies. The Goldenbet side is mapped in Goldenbet sister sites.

What decides the question for a British player is the regulatory position.

It holds no British licence

The Gambling Commission’s register, searched on 21 August 2026, returns no results for donbet. No account, no trading name, no domain.

Under the Gambling Act, an operator advertising to or transacting with British consumers needs a British operating licence. Donbet does not appear to hold one.

The Commission’s own register page carries the relevant line for anyone who encounters an unlicensed operator soliciting British custom: if you are in Great Britain and have been offered gambling by someone who does not appear to hold a licence, you can report it through its Tell us something in confidence page.

Why the search volume exists anyway

Roughly 3,000 people a month look for this brand from the UK, and a good deal of UK-facing affiliate content answers them with welcome bonus figures, minimum deposits and payout times.

Few of those pages say that the site holds no British licence. Donbet’s last published casino welcome was 150% up to €750 plus 50 free spins on a first deposit of €20 to €500, slots only, and none of the British limits on wagering or bonus fairness apply to it.

What this means if you were looking for it

An account here is held by a Curaçao company under Curaçao rules. If a withdrawal is later disputed, there is no British body to take it to, which is the weakest possible position to be in.

More importantly, a site with no British licence sits outside GAMSTOP entirely. If you are searching for offshore casinos because a GAMSTOP self-exclusion is in force, that exclusion exists because you asked for it, and this is precisely the route around it that it was designed to prevent.

The verdict

Six out of ten, the same score as NineWin and held down by the licence: a British reader has no Gambling Commission protection, no GAMSTOP cover and no British complaints route while using it.
