The company, which operates a casino and sportsbook, is the current front-of-shirt sponsor for Premier League club Leicester City FC.
According to several reports, a document from the Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB) indicates that Small Dance B.V., the operator behind BC.GAME, could have its license revoked.
In a lawsuit filed against the company by player advocacy network the Foundation for the Representation of Victims of Online Gaming (SBGOK), Small House B.V., has been accused of running illegal gambling services across Europe through a complex network of mirror sites and online guides. These sites allegedly offer detailed instructions on bypassing local regulations, with a particular focus on targeting users in countries like Germany, Denmark, and Switzerland, where possessing a local license is mandatory for legal operations.

Curaçao’s Gaming Control Board has denied recent allegations of corruption, fraud, and money laundering within its gambling licensing reform process.
The accusations were brought forward by opposition politician Luigi Faneyte of the Real Alternative Party, who filed a report with the Attorney General’s office on November 25, claiming that gambling licenses were issued without a legal basis, resulting in financial losses.
In response, the GCB clarified that it holds exclusive authority over the licensing process, as mandated by the Ministry of Finance since December 2019. The Board emphasized that all license applicants undergo rigorous due diligence, including sanction screenings, business plan evaluations, and initial website assessments.
The GCB also refuted claims of financial mismanagement, stating that all licensing fees are paid directly into official government accounts, leaving no room for embezzlement.
