Most of the registered domains refer to a Costa Rica entity EOD Code SRL, with no apparent license, when accessed through a Netherlands IP address, even though MIBS N.V.'s terms and conditions state that the Netherlands is a prohibited jurisdiction. Furthermore, it was noted that a few of the domains registered under MIBS N.V. refer to other entities in the site footer. For example, luckyblock.com refers to Igloo Ventures SRL, another Costa Rica entity, as the site owner/operator, seemingly an Anjouan licensed entity, however upon logging in it refers to Entretenimiento Rojo B.V., which is another GCB license applicant. Please ensure that all domains registered with the GCB correspond to MIBS N.V.
