What the sources show
Ryker B.V. is a Curaçao company that operates 4 casino and sportsbook brands (AlterPlay, 2 June 2026). It holds a Curaçao Gaming Control Board licence issued in August 2024, replacing an earlier sub-licence (1668/JAZ). The company lists a Cyprus entity, Ryker Development Limited, as payment agent.
The sources carry limits. The registration and licence numbers come from a single research page and aren't confirmed against the Curaçao registers. No Gambling Commission register entry is surfaced for Ryker B.V. or its brands. A reader based in the UK should treat each brand as licensed outside the UKGC and check live terms before depositing.
Brands
| Brand | Domain | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Jack.com | jack.com | Formerly Jackbit. Rebranded April 2026. |
| Freshbet | freshbet.com | Launched 2021. |
| CasinOK | casinok.com | Launched early 2025. Crypto only. |
| 20Bets | 20bets.com | Also holds an Anjouan Gaming Authority licence (per AlterPlay). |
All 4 brands sit under 1 operator. Inference: Curaçao terms and the operator's own complaints route apply to each brand, and UK rules don't. GAMSTOP covers UK-licensed operators only (Gambling Commission), so a GAMSTOP registration doesn't extend to these brands. Verify against live terms.
Ownership and licensing
Ryker B.V. is the licence holder named in the sources. Ultimate beneficial owners aren't disclosed in the Curaçao public register (per AlterPlay). Unconfirmed, verify on site: independent third-party sources list Downtown E-Commerce Company B.V. as the management entity behind Ryker B.V., and casino footers don't disclose the link.
