Experts note that offshore gambling operators routinely rotate corporate entities and licenses.
A group of offshore gambling websites well-known among British players has moved its operations to a new license structure based in Curaçao. As campaigners, journalists, and regulators pay more attention to these sites, this change comes.
The brands involved include MyStake, Velobet, Donbet, as well as Goldenbet. They have operated outside the regulated system of the United Kingdom for a long time. They attract customers looking for betting platforms not connected to the national self-exclusion program, GamStop. In the past, a Curaçao entity called Santeda International connected to these sites. Previous updates to their website disclosures now mention a different company, which got a local business-to-consumer license, GTW B.V. in 2025.
In offshore betting markets, experts in the field say moving company vehicles, as well as permits is a common strategy. This lets businesses to keep operating while putting distance between themselves and any issues. Even if official permit dates look expired in public records, the rules of Curaçao let companies legally work during renewal times.
After news reports showed how far the uncontrolled network reached in the United Kingdom, this change happens. In 2025 alone, guesses pointed to British suers betting billions of pounds across the websites of the group. MyStake made up a big part of that activity.
The network has come under fire for how it deals with at-risk gamblers, together with financial worries. GAMRS is a group speaks up for gamblers. It has gathered stories, as well as numbers from people who used to bet. These operators make it difficult to close accounts. They send ads to players who asked to be left alone and push hard to keep people betting.
