What is an Anjouan gaming licence?
An Anjouan gaming licence is an internet gaming licence issued under the laws of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of the Comoros. It is administered by Anjouan Licensing Services Inc. under The Computer Gaming Licensing Act 007 of 2005. The licence allows operators to offer B2C (business-to-consumer) services such as online casinos and sportsbooks, or B2B (business-to-business) services such as game development or platform supply, with formal regulatory recognition.
How much does an Anjouan licence cost?
Anjouan licence cost for B2C operations: EUR 8,000 per year (single annual payment) or EUR 1,000 per month. Additional domains can be added; a +100 domain package is available. B2B licence fees are quoted on request. All fees are published; there are no hidden administration charges. Full details: Licensing & Pricing.
How long does the application take?
The standard Anjouan licence application process typically takes 4–6 weeks from submission of a complete application package to licence issuance. Timelines depend on the completeness of documentation and the complexity of the application. Initial enquiry and pre-application guidance are available from the licensing team.
How do I verify an Anjouan licence?
To verify an Anjouan licence: use our Verify a licence page and enter the licence number or company name. You can also search the Licence Register. On a licensed operator's website, a seal in the footer may link to a domain-specific validation page. If a site claims to be Anjouan-licensed but does not appear on the register or verify, it is not a licensee in good standing.
What is the difference between B2C and B2B licence?
B2C (business-to-consumer) licences are for operators who offer gaming directly to players—online casinos, sportsbooks, poker, bingo, etc. B2B (business-to-business) licences are for suppliers: game developers, platform providers, payment processors, content aggregators. Some businesses need both (e.g. a company that runs a casino and also supplies software to other licensees). See B2C vs B2B Gaming Licence for a full comparison.
Who can apply for an Anjouan gaming licence?
Any company that can meet the regulatory requirements can apply. You need a registered company, clear beneficial ownership (UBOs disclosed), a business plan, and policies for AML/KYC, responsible gaming, and technical standards. Both startups and established international operators apply. There is no residency requirement for the company, but directors and UBOs are subject to due diligence.
