Anjouan eGaming Licence

The budget flag that absorbed the demand Curaçao’s reform displaced: fast, cheap and supervised accordingly. Documented here for completeness — the comparison is not flattering, but the licence is a real feature of the market.

What it is

Issued from Anjouan in the Union of the Comoros under the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority, with licence administration handled by Anjouan Licensing Services Inc. since 2023. Agents typically quote $10,000–25,000 all-in with two-to-six-week turnaround, annual renewal and no local-presence requirement; the regulator maintains a public licence register.

Supervisory weight remains minimal compared with any national regime — the register verifies that a licence exists, not how it is policed. Operators use it as the lowest-cost legal wrapper for grey-map operations; payment institutions and B2B counterparties price it accordingly. For any market a player or partner would call regulated, it is not a relevant credential.

How to read an Anjouan licence

The practical use of this page is verification: an operator claiming Anjouan licensing should appear in the public licence register, and the claim is checkable in minutes. What the entry confirms is narrow — that a licence was issued and remains current. It says nothing about player-fund protection, dispute resolution or game testing, because the regime imposes little of that machinery.

In the comparison table, Anjouan defines the floor of the market: the cheapest, fastest credential available. That position is exactly why it is worth documenting — when a site names its licence and the licence is Anjouan, the reader knows which tier of supervision stands behind it, and the gap between that tier and a national regulator is the most useful fact this registry can convey.
