Tether.bet Obtained Its Curaçao License With Forged Documents Before Closing in Summer 2026

The operator behind Tether.bet secured its Curaçao gaming license using forged documents, according to the source material. The site later shut down in summer 2026, which makes the licensing trail relevant for PSPs, acquirers, and banks that still have to decide how much weight to put on a Curaçao-issued approval.

1. The key fact is simple: Tether.bet, an online casino, received its Curaçao license through forged documents. For payment providers, that is the part that matters most, because license checks are only useful if the underlying paperwork is real.
2. The same source says Tether.bet closed in summer 2026. That puts the case in the category of operators whose onboarding history can become a cleanup problem later, especially when the merchant file looks licensed on paper but turns out to have been built on false documentation.
3. No further details are provided in the source about the forged documents, the licensing route used in Curaçao, or whether any regulator or PSP commented publicly. So the only defensible takeaway is the one that matters operationally: a Curaçao license by itself does not resolve document-integrity risk.
