Pin-Up is licensed, but our check found weak spots. Below we show exactly where it falls short, how it ranks against other casinos and what players report.
Our verdict on Pin-Up
Our verdict: Pin-Up is legit, with caveats. It is licensed, but its safety score or terms leave room for problems.
- Safety Index 7.1/10, below our 7.5 bar for a clean pass (higher than 30% of casinos we track).
- Mid-level license from Curacao Gaming Control Board: valid, with lighter supervision.
- Weak Trustpilot rating (1.7/5).
- Running since 2016: 10 years of track record.
Does Pin-Up have a valid license?
Pin-Up is licensed by Curacao Gaming Control Board (Curacao).
CuraƧao reformed its licensing in 2023: the CuraƧao Gaming Authority now licenses operators directly and requires a complaint procedure. Supervision is still lighter than in Malta or the UK, so independent safety data matters more.
