Crypto casino Rollbit says it hasn’t received any indication from authorities in Curaçao, where it is seeking to renew its license, that its “operation are problematic,” although traders aren't convinced and are selling the platform's RLB token.
CoinGecko data shows that RLB is down 20% in the last 24 hours and has dropped 37.5% over the last two weeks.

Crypto Twitter has noticed that Rollbit has removed information pertaining to its license from Curaçao, a Dutch Caribbean island off the coast of Venezuela, which is known to be an offshore hub for online gambling. Crypto casinos are online gambling apps, where users can make deposits and withdrawals with cryptocurrencies.
Rollbit recently began to offer crypto derivatives trading, which isn't covered by its current license. Some users have noticed that information pertaining to crypto derivatives is hidden until the user logs in.
“We are actively communicating with our licensor about the renewal and will provide an update as soon as possible,” Rollbit said in a Twitter update. “Although this is typically an internal process, we recognize the importance of transparency in such a crucial aspect of our business.”
Today our community raised some concerns regarding our license status, which we're addressing below.

- Our license is currently in its annual renewal period, a standard procedure for Curaçao-licensed platforms like ours.
- We are actively communicating with our licensor about…
The online casino said it has made minor changes to its interface based on its licensor's recommendations, which it claims is a common request during a renewal period.
“We have a diligent legal team ensuring the legitimacy of our activities,” it said on Twitter. “Our operation continues to run smoothly, with fully covered balances and no issues with deposits or withdrawals.”
Rollbit didn't immediately respond to a request for additional comment.

Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.
