Company Background
About Parimatch — 30 Years of History, Licence, and Trust
Parimatch began as a retail sports betting operation in Kyiv, Ukraine in 1994 — the same year as the inaugural Formula 1 Benetton championship season and two years before the internet began to reshape the global gambling industry. Over the next three decades, the company expanded from a handful of physical betting offices to a fully digital platform operating across Europe, Asia, and the Americas.

Regulatory Information — Curaçao Licence
Parimatch Casino operates under Curaçao eGaming licence No. 8048/JAZ, issued to the operator PMSPORT N.V.. The Curaçao eGaming authority (now operating as the Gaming Control Board of Curaçao following 2023 regulatory reform) issues licences to online gambling operators and mandates compliance with player protection standards, anti-money laundering regulations, and fair gaming requirements.

Trust and Safety — How We Protect Players
Player fund protection is a non-negotiable obligation for licensed operators. Parimatch holds player deposits in segregated accounts — funds are held separately from operational company funds and are not used for business expenses. In the event of any corporate insolvency, player funds would be ring-fenced and returned before any creditor claims.
All financial transactions use 128-bit SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) encryption — the same technology used by global banks. Your financial data, account information, and game history are stored on encrypted servers with access logging. No credit card or bank account numbers are stored in plain text.
All game outcomes at Parimatch are generated by certified Random Number Generators (RNG) supplied by independent, licensed game providers. Parimatch does not have access to or control over the RNG software — it is sealed within each provider's game code and verified by third-party auditors (eCOGRA, GLI, iTech Labs).
Corporate Responsibility
Parimatch has committed to several corporate responsibility programmes:
- Responsible Gambling Programme: Full suite of account protection tools. Staff training in problem gambling identification. Partnerships with international RG organisations.
- Anti-Money Laundering: Transaction monitoring systems, source-of-funds verification for large deposits/withdrawals, regular AML audits.
- Minor Protection: Age verification at registration and KYC. IP-based minor detection. Marketing material clearly labelled 18+ and not targeting under-18 audiences.
- Data Protection: GDPR-compliant data handling. Player data not sold to third parties. Right to erasure honoured per applicable law.

Editorial Team
The content published on parimatch-casino.world is produced by an in-house editorial team with backgrounds in gambling regulation, game design, sports journalism, and responsible gambling advocacy. All game reviews, guides, and promotional content are reviewed for accuracy against current game specifications (RTP, volatility, max win) and regulatory requirements before publication. Content is updated when game specifications change or new regulatory requirements come into effect.
Parimatch Casino is a licensed operator — we have direct access to provider documentation, game technical sheets, and regulatory correspondence that inform the accuracy of our game guides. We do not publish affiliate-style "top 10 casino" lists — we write about our own platform with full access to the underlying data.
