Online casinos in Aruba

Legal status: legal since 1999, operators need a license

 

Online casinos are legal on the Caribbean island of Aruba, since 1994. Aruba is a constituent country of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, along with CuraçaoSint Marteen and of course, the Netherlands. While the legal system of the country is based on the Dutch system, this is not evident in the gambling legislation at all. This is because the country can make its own laws since 1947, when the country was declared an ‘autonomous country’ of the Kingdom of the Netherlands, and the gambling legislation was created entirely after gaining legislative independence.

Online casinos and online casino gambling in not addressed by one single act, instead the main relevant pieces of gambling legislation are: Ordinance on Licenses* (regulating licensing of gambling activities, establishments), State Ordinance for Hazard Games** (general gambling law).

The Caribbean island nations of Curacao and Aruba (mostly the former) are among the biggest online gambling licensing hubs in the world. Hundreds of online casinos are licensed in Aruba, details of the licensing process can be found in the licensing section below.

 

Can tourists play online while visiting Aruba?

Yes, the laws discussed here only apply to residents of the country, if you are a tourist (or a non-citizen expat, or illegal), you can play online freely while enjoying your vacation.

 

Online casino licensing and regulatory body of Aruba: Department of Casino Affairs (DAC – Departamento di Asuntonan di Casino), a subdepartment of the ministry of Justice, is responsible for the licensing and regulating gambling activities and establishments on the island. Sadly, the government’s webpage is only fully available in Dutch and Papiamento (the English version is “in the process of being translated” for years now…). Therefore, if you wish to set up a gambling business, you need to hire a translator and contact them.

If you are thinking about setting up a business in Aruba, you will need the following documents in Dutch or Papiamento:

  • articles of incorporation, rules and regulations
  • organizational structure with instruments of incorporation, and the memorandum of association if applicable
  • disclosure of all owners (can’t hide behind shell companies because of anti-money laundering laws according to the Money Laundering Law, which was enacted in 2011 in response to allegations of money laundering****)
  • disclosure of all directors
  • disclosure of other affiliated ventures
  • detailed description of operations, scope of operations, media used with the license
  • disclosure of the financial situation of the company, and sufficient solvency (at the very least I would advise $1 million in reserves + $1 million for the licensing process, legal fees  + cost of the project)
  • certificate of good standing of all key personnel
  • detailed rules of all games that are being offered by the operator
  • detailed floor plan of the casino
  • business establishment permit
  • excerpt from the CCC
  • casino operating agreement
  • list of all employees

 

The licenses are valid for five years. Licensed companies pay a fixed a monthly fee of 5000 AF (Aruban Florin) license fee + the gambling tax below. Interestingly, locally licensed online gambling companies can not accept players from the Netherlands. Nearby Curaçao and Sint Marteen have the same restriction in place too (all are constituent countries of the Kingdom of the Netherlands).

Online gambling licensing is actually a huge source of revenue for Curaçao and Aruba. Hundreds of online gambling platforms operate with licenses from the two (mostly online casinos, and Curaçao is much more popular when it comes to licenses). The biggest advantages of an Aruba license are:

  • low taxes
  • low licensing fee
  • players’ winnings are not taxed
  • no stifling bureaucracy, the government is open to the ideas of licensed companies
  • innovation is possible, overregulation and rigid bureaucracy doesn’t stifle innovation

Land-based Aruba casinos

Legal status: legal since 1959, operators need a license

 

Like their online counterparts, brick and mortar casinos are also legal and regulated in Aruba.

Aruba is actually famous for its casinos, the first of which opened in 1959 (this is not the case anymore, but back in the 60s, 70s not that many countries in the Caribbean had casinos, and Aruba was known as the “Las Vegas of the Caribbean” along with Cuba). The country is still a favourite of tourists with a penchant for gambling, and a love for the Caribbean. Although, now that casinos are ubiquitous in the region, relying on casinos is no longer enough, and competition for tourists in the region has gotten fiercer.

Companies that wish to operate a land-based casino on the island must apply for a casino licence (details below).

Companies do not have to be registered in Aruba in order to receive such a licence. However, casinos may only be operated in Aruba within, or connected to a hotel, operated by the same company that runs the casino. Also locals are limited to 8 casino visits per person, per month.

One would assume that these restrictions would limit the number of casinos within Aruba, but that is not the case. In fact, several groups have been raising their voices, stating that Aruba is already overrun by casinos, exceeding the actual demand for them (, which is probably true, it is certainly a saturated sector, Aruba has the most casino per square km in all of the Caribbean, the second one is Curacao, but they have much more online casinos licensed). Despite these protests, two new casinos opened in 2015, the Riu Palace Hotel and the new Hilton Aruba Caribbean Resort & Casino, which brought the total number of casinos to 21.  UPDATE 2021: the total number of casinos is now 20, due to the coronavirus pandemic Eagle casino appears to have closed permanently.

/Comment: There are many reasons for the high number of casinos. One is that the huge hotel chains invest long-term, and are willing to tolerate losses for years. It’s also a prestige thing for them, not to mention, listing a casino among the amenities helps to attract more guests, and that also indirectly boost their revenue. But the main reason is the unethical business strategy often used by the big companies, “starving the competition”, price war, by operating their casinos at a loss, for years, 10+ years, they simply “starve out” the smaller players, who can not afford to operate their casinos at a loss for 10-15+ years. And the big companies will always win, because they have much more reserves, and financial opportunities. Big companies often use this strategy in every sector, to destroy smaller, local businesses./

UPDATE COVID-19: The COVID-19 pandemic badly effected the tourist oriented casino sector in Aruba. But interestingly, only one of the 21 casinos closed permanently. However, in the aftermath of the pandemic, more closures are expected. Sadly, this is more of an exception than the norm in the Caribbean, and the other tourists destinations in the region were much harder hit. Also, some claim that the 8 visits per month rule for locals is reportedly not enforced, because of the decrease in the number of visitors. The remaining casinos are cash-strapped, and need to rely much more on local visitors (this is according to social media posts, reviews, and comments only, not sure how serious the issue is, or how widespread it is, but it definitely sounds believable).

The largest casino within the country is located in the Aruba Marriott, in Palm Beach. The casino of the hotel is named Stellaris Casino, and offers roulette, blackjack and various types of poker and slot machines, the usual casino staples, and Caribbean Stud Poker, which can be found in almost every casino in, or near the Caribbean (in fact, it is claimed that Caribbean Stud Poker was invented in the country in 1988). The most popular, best known casino is probably the Tropicana Aruba Resort & Casino.

Most of the casinos are only open from 11 am until the early morning. The single exception is the Crystal Casino located in Oranjestad, the capital of Aruba, which is open 0-24, all of the gaming venues are 18+.

 

Can locals visit the casinos in Aruba?

Yes, unlike in many small countries, locals are not banned from the casinos. However, locals are limited to 8 casino visits per month.

 

Casino licensing and regulatory body of Aruba: Department of Casino Affairs (DAC – Departamento di Asuntonan di Casino), a subdepartment of the ministry of Justice, is responsible for the licensing and regulating gambling activities and establishments on the island. Sadly, the government’s webpage is only fully available in Dutch and Papiamento (the English version is “in the process of being translated” for years now…). Therefore, if you wish to set up a gambling business, you need to hire a translator and contact them.

If you are thinking about setting up a business in Aruba, you will need the following documents in Dutch or Papiamento:

Perhaps they are best know for the luxury cars you can win by playing in the casino (you need to be a VIP Club member sadly, so not for your average Joe, and for every 80 points on the slot machines, and for every $40 spent at the tables, you get points, VIP with the most points wins), you can see what sort of cars you can win on the video below, you will instantly understand why it is such a big deal, even if you don’t know much about cars (spoiler: it’s a Ferrari 488 SPIDER – around $280 K). 18+.

5., Excelsior
This is a picture of the front gate of Excelsior in Aruba. This is the fifth and last casino on this list of the TOP 5 Aruba casinos, you can find the other elements of this list above this one. To the right of the picture you can read more about this casino.

Excelsior

Excelsior, address: J.E. Irausquin Blvd 230, Noord

Excelsior is a smaller casino, and there are better casinos in the country. But the reason why I added it to the TOP  5 list at the last place is because it was the first ever casino in the Aruba, in operation since 1959, formally known as King Casino and Grand Holiday Casino. And the casino has the biggest poker room on the island. Nowadays they are more known for the daily bingo, from 4 pm (and they really old machines.. :) ).

Interestingly, the casino has no website, and information about them is actually pretty difficult to come by, despite them being in operation for 30+ years.

Games: around 200 gaming machines (slots+video poker, really old machines, neglected), around 15 tables (blackjack, Caribbean Stud Poker, craps, baccarat, Three Card Poker, Let It Ride and Texas Hold’em Bonus)

The casino also has a poker room (biggest on the island) + daily bingo.

Video of Excelsior:

I couldn’t find any decent video of the casino, if you know of any (embeddable) video, please drop a link to it in the comments section. Thank you.

 

Opening hours: 18:00 – 4:00, daily (bingo starts at 4 pm)

UPDATE COVID-19: open

Dress code: no official dress code

Entrance fee: no entrance fee

Meta review analysis: the casino gets average reviews, 3/5, most people complain about the rude locals, the shady, dangerous looking locals, and old machines which are neglected

 

18+, ID, and passport for tourists, is needed to enter.

 

Bitcoin, cryptocurrency casinos in Aruba

Cryptocurrencies (e.g.: bitcoin, litecoin, etheruem) are not specifically regulated in Aruba. None of the land-based casinos accept crypto, at least according to their official websites (if you know of a casino that accepts cryptocurrency in Aruba, please leave a message in the comments section).

 

Other forms of online gambling in Aruba

All forms of gambling in Aruba are more or less connected to casino gambling. Sports betting, poker and bingo are all available at the brick and mortar casinos on the island. Similarly, many of the online casino sites licensed in Aruba offer online gambling services as well.

It may be surprising, but poker is not among the most popular games on the island, even though Caribbean stud is said to have been invented on Aruba in 1987. On the other hand, sports betting -especially on football matches and horse races – is quite frequent. Although there is a national lottery in Aruba, this lottery has no online platform.

Despite the gambling and sports betting options available at locally based online casinos and online gambling sites, most of the Aruban gamblers prefer either physical casinos or foreign online gambling sites. This is most likely due to the fact that there have been reports of fraudulent Aruban sites, especially when it comes to sports betting.

As a result, it is most likely safer and simpler for both locals and tourists to play on international sites. Although these generally do not accept the Aruban florin, local casinos also use the American dollar.

 

 

The following online gambling websites accept players from Aruba:

Thank you for visiting:
This is a selfie of the author and owner of Simon's Casino Gambling Blog, me, Simon András Péter, a.k.a. by the internet pseudonym SimonTheSorcerer, owner of Simon's Online Marketing Kft. This is the homepage of my online casino gambling blog, you can see what's on the website, the links to all the different sections of the website.

That's me, Simon, thank you for visiting.

Don't worry, this is not an ad! ;) Just wanted to make sure to tell you that I'm glad you visited this gambling blog. I'm Simon, the only author and the man behind this blog (if you are interested, my unusual life story can be found on the homepage, under the "About me" dropdown section).
I'm an independent gambling blogger since 2012. In this sector dominated by huge media companies, casino operators and online marketing networks, who can easily spend $ millions on their online gambling blogs, it's not easy for an independent nobody like me to survive. It took me about 6 years, working my ass off, to even have a chance to be noticed by visitors like you. I'm lucky enough that for a few years now, I make enough money to be able to do this full time (before that, I had part-time jobs, ghost writing gigs, online marketing this and that).
Now I can finally do this full time, thanks to visitors like you! And it means a lot! If you are interested, please bookmark this site (no social media profiles, I no longer have any, but please feel free to share anything on any social media networks, if you still use them). I don't have any money to advertise, and if you have a personal blog, any social media profile, please mention my gambling blog and link back to it. This the only way for a small website like this to grow. Thank you!

Charity: As a way to help others, to give back, I sometimes donate to Kiva. If you click on the ads on the website, I make some money. And in a good month, if I make more than my expenses, I donate to people and projects on Kiva.
Kiva helps young entrepreneurs in developing countries, which is an issue close to my heart for obvious reasons. If you have the means, please sign up with the revolutionary non-profit company Kiva.org and help people lift themselves out of poverty, through hard-work, and an initial investment (non-profit loan). These non-profit loans encourage entrepreneurship and hard work instead of creating a dependent class that is afraid to get a job, or start a business (because if they did, they would no longer get support and free money, disincentivizing hard work and entrepreneurship). This is the right way to fight poverty in developing countries (or anywhere else really), and if this is something you are interested in, and if you would like to know more, or to help out, please check out Kiva.org here. Thank you!
