Curaçao regulator did not fully investigate Blaze owner during licensing review
By The Weekly Edge desk ·
Summary
The Curaçao Gaming Authority did not obtain US court records about Nicholas Beugg, Blaze co-owner with Nick van Gorsel, during its review. It accepted a service provider’s claim that Beugg had been confused with another person, although the records reportedly matched identifying details. Blaze’s Brazil and international websites are now unavailable amid a proposed Brazilian online gambling ban.
