Hyperbet has launched as the first fully decentralized online casino on the Base blockchain, integrating on-chain gaming with a Curacao-issued international license for regulated operations. The platform, backed by 20 years of traditional iGaming expertise, enables wallet-based access to provably fair games without registration, targeting players in crypto-friendly jurisdictions like Europe and Asia. This debut marks a pivotal step toward mainstream adoption of blockchain-based gambling, bridging transparency of smart contracts with compliance standards to enhance trust in the ecosystem.

The Curacao Gaming Authority (CGA) has approved over 220 provisional licenses for online gaming operators, including a significant number supporting cryptocurrency transactions, as part of its overhaul under the National Ordinance for Games of Chance (LOK). This milestone, reached in Q2 2025, transitions the jurisdiction from a fragmented master-sub licensing model to a centralized, direct-issuance system administered by the CGA, which replaces the former Gaming Control Board. The development bolsters Curacao's position as a premier hub for crypto casinos, enhancing operator credibility and player protections in a market projected to exceed $81 billion globally by year-end.
