Curacao licensed online casino is being prosecuted in Australia

"The online casino has been licensed in Curacao, yet another Caribbean-located tax haven"
“The online casino is licensed in Curacao, yet another Caribbean-located tax haven”

An Australian-owned online casino has avoided being detected for the past four years but may see its operations shut down after the person who had been listed as its owner told local media that he had nothing to do with the gambling business.

The Emu Group Ltd. has been promoting and providing online casino-style games, including slots and variants of popular table games, to the Australian market since 2012, although this type of gambling services is considered illegal in the country.

Local media reported that the gambling operator has been managing online casino operations through three Internet domains – .com.au, .com, and .net. What is more, it appears that the Emu Group has claimed on its Facebook page that it had 10,000 registered customers from around Australia.

It is said in the Australian domain website that it is owned by Australian hairdresser Jeff Muller. When asked about his ownership of the illegal online casino, Mr. Muller told local media that he had absolutely nothing to do with it and that he would take legal advice in order to have his name removed from the gambling operation’s website.

Under Australian regulations, websites can be closed down if they are provenly registered by means of fraudulent methods.

Australian media found out that the online casino operator is owned by holding company EMU Inc., with the latter being incorporated in Panama, long known to be a tax haven. Its operating unit appears to be based and registered in Malta as Emu Group Ltd. Similarly to Panama, Malta, too, is among the jurisdictions notoriously known for tax avoidance. The online casino has been licensed in Curacao, yet another Caribbean-located tax haven.

It is not unusual for an online gambling company to be structured in the way the Emu Group is. However, the business promotes itself as Australian-owned. According to local media, some of the EmuCasino websites have been registered under the name of Adrian Loughnan, a former Sydney-based web developer. In 2012, Mr. Loughnan apparently served as Head of Affiliates for the online casino as it could be seen on the Gambling Portal Webmasters Association’s website. It is unclear whether he is still taking that same post.

  1. Kennelijk zijn er ook banden met andere in onderzoek zijnde inwoners en hun connecties in Curaçao. Blijkbaar bestaan er ook banden tussen verdachten in Curaçao en Sint Maarten. Zie ook beantwoording Kamervragen over de nauwe banden op Curaçao tussen het bestuur en de (illegale) gokindustrie van 25 maart 2015. beantwoording-kamervragen-over-nauwe-banden-op-curacao-tussen-het-bestuur-en-illegale-gokindustrie.pdf. Wat we daar allemaal tegenkwamen deed ons van schrik van kleur verschieten. Kan dat allemaal zomaar in een rechtsstaat? Hoe rechtmatig en nuttig zijn deze banden in het Koninkrijk en op eilanden? Theoretisch is minister Plasterk helemaal voor integriteit begrijpen wij uit de zaak Van Rey (voormalig VVD). Zijn broer HvR deed in witwassen via de vleeshandel met Aruba. Een wijdvertakt netwerk. Zouden beide witwassers Van Rey ook connecties hebben met de gokwereld? Niets is ongrijpbaarder en gezonder om onzichtbaar wit te wassen. In een oogwenk zijn miljoenen brandschoon geworden. Zou daardoor de onstuimige groei van duurzaam en tijdelijk waardevol onroerend goed in Aruba uit zijn te verklaren? Nu we toch pijnlijke vragen aan het stellen zijn, wat ons ook bezighoudt is hoe het zit met die uitglijder van de integriteit staatsrechtelijk en Koninkrijksrechtelijk en de onderlinge causale relaties. Daar heeft minister Plasterk een duidelijke mening over. Er zit een afgrond van verschil tussen zijn theoretische en praktische opvattingen. Het Koninkrijksbelang wordt opgeheven door de eilandelijke verantwoordelijkheid en de eilandelijke autonomie. Hier zit een kwaliteitsnovela in dames en heren. Met een onzichtbare en intrigerende afloop, dat garanderen wij. Witwassen kunnen wij nog niet goedkeuren. Alleen als het mag van de Koninkrijksregering. Nederland is al een kwaliteitsbelastingparadijs. Dus er is nog hoop voor de gokwereld. Renée van Aller&John de Vries
