1. Operator Identity and Corporate Registration
Payment processing and merchant services are handled by Annitak Ltd, a company incorporated in the Republic of Cyprus, with its registered office at Patroklou Kokkinou, 5, Office 2, Strovolos, 2000, Nicosia, Cyprus, company registration number HE 393130. Annitak Ltd acts in the capacity of Merchant of Record for all financial transactions conducted through the platform. The contractual relationship between the operator and players is governed by the laws applicable in Cyprus.
2. Gaming Licence
CNCL B.V. holds a Master Gaming Licence issued under the authority of the Government of Curaçao. The licence number is 1668/JAZ, issued by Cyberluck Curaçao N.V. as the master licence holder. The licence authorises the operator to offer online games of chance, including casino games, slot games, table games, and live dealer products, to players in permitted jurisdictions.
Curaçao has regulated online gaming since 1993 under the National Ordinance on Offshore Games of Hazard. Regulatory oversight of the online gaming sector is exercised by the Curaçao Gaming Authority (CGA), which serves as the principal regulatory body responsible for licensing, supervision, and compliance enforcement within the jurisdiction. The CGA can be contacted via its official website at www.gamingcontrolcuracao.org.
3. Territory of Service and Player Eligibility
The services offered through tortuga-casino-ca.com are directed at adult players resident in Canada, subject to applicable provincial and territorial laws. It is the sole responsibility of each player to verify whether accessing and using online gaming services is lawful in their province or territory of residence before registering an account or making any deposit.
Access to the platform is strictly limited to individuals who are 18 years of age or older. This age threshold applies universally across all jurisdictions served. The operator reserves the right to request age verification documentation from any player at any time and to suspend or close any account where the player cannot demonstrate compliance with this requirement. Players who are found to be under the age of 18 will have their accounts closed immediately and any funds held in such accounts will be handled in accordance with applicable law and regulatory requirements.
The platform does not accept registrations from players located in jurisdictions where the provision or receipt of online gaming services is prohibited by applicable law. The operator maintains a list of restricted territories, which is subject to periodic review and update in accordance with changes in applicable legislation.
4. Anti-Money Laundering and Know Your Customer Policy
CNCL B.V. operates a formal Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing (AML/CTF) compliance programme consistent with the requirements of Curaçao gaming regulations and internationally recognised standards, including the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendations.
As part of this programme, the operator applies a risk-based Know Your Customer (KYC) verification process to all registered accounts. Upon registration and prior to the processing of any withdrawal request, players are required to provide satisfactory identity documentation, which may include, but is not limited to, a government-issued photo identification document, proof of residential address, and, where applicable, documentation evidencing the source of funds used for wagering activities.
The operator conducts ongoing monitoring of player transactions for the purpose of identifying patterns that may be indicative of money laundering, fraud, or other financial crimes. The operator is legally required to report any suspicious transactions to the relevant competent authority in accordance with applicable law. Players should be aware that providing false or misleading documentation constitutes a serious breach of the operator’s Terms and Conditions and may result in account suspension, forfeiture of funds, and referral to law enforcement authorities.
Player account data and transaction records are retained for a minimum period of five years from the date of the last transaction or the date of account closure, whichever is later, in compliance with applicable regulatory requirements.
5. Data Protection and Privacy
The operator is committed to the lawful collection, processing, storage, and transmission of personal data in accordance with applicable data protection legislation. Personal information collected from players is used solely for the purposes of account management, identity verification, transaction processing, regulatory compliance, and the provision of customer support.
All data transmitted between the player’s device and the platform is encrypted using industry-standard 256-bit Secure Socket Layer (SSL) technology, with the encryption certificate verified by DigiCert. This ensures that sensitive personal and financial information is protected against unauthorised interception during transmission.
The operator does not sell, lease, or otherwise transfer personal data to third parties for commercial marketing purposes without the express consent of the data subject, except where such disclosure is required by applicable law or by order of a competent regulatory or judicial authority. Players may exercise their data subject rights, including the right to access, correct, or request deletion of their personal data, by contacting the operator’s customer support team.
6. Responsible Gambling
The operator recognises that gambling, when not approached responsibly, carries the risk of harm to individuals and their families. In accordance with the licence conditions issued by the Curaçao Gaming Authority and the operator’s own policies, a range of responsible gambling tools is made available to all registered players.
Players may, at any time and without restriction, set limits on the amount of funds they deposit into their account within a specified time period, on the total amount of money they wager, and on the amount of time spent on the platform in a single session. These limits are designed to assist players in maintaining control over their gambling activity.
Players who consider that their gambling behaviour may be causing harm are encouraged to make use of the self-exclusion facility. A minimum self-exclusion period of six months is available to all players upon request. During a self-exclusion period, the player’s account will be suspended and no promotional communications will be directed to that individual.
Players are strongly encouraged to seek information and assistance from independent organisations that provide support for gambling-related harm, including Gamblers Anonymous Canada (www.gamblersanonymous.org) and the Centre for Addiction and Mental Health (CAMH) at www.camh.ca. The operator will, upon request, provide players with referrals to appropriate support services.
The operator does not extend credit to players and does not permit accounts to operate in deficit. Gambling should be regarded solely as a form of entertainment and not as a means of generating income or resolving financial difficulties.
7. Dispute Resolution
In the event that a player has a complaint concerning any aspect of the platform’s services, the player is required to submit that complaint in the first instance to the operator’s customer support team by electronic means, providing a clear description of the nature of the complaint and all relevant supporting information. The operator undertakes to acknowledge receipt of a complaint within a reasonable time and to provide a substantive response following review.
If a complaint cannot be resolved to the satisfaction of the player through the operator’s internal process, the matter may be referred to an Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service approved by the Curaçao Gaming Authority. Further regulatory complaints regarding potential violations of applicable gaming law may also be submitted to the CGA directly by electronic mail at complaints@cga.cw. Players should note that the CGA does not adjudicate individual financial disputes between players and operators; its jurisdiction is limited to matters involving potential breaches of the applicable licensing framework.
Any dispute not resolved through the above processes that gives rise to legal proceedings shall be subject to the jurisdiction and laws of Cyprus, in accordance with the governing law provisions of the operator’s Terms and Conditions.
