Traditional Licensing Is Slow, Expensive and Overcomplicated. What is an “Anjouan gambling license”
Curacao, Malta and other “classic” jurisdictions are well-known – but for a new project they can mean high initial cost, long approval times, and heavy bureaucracy before you even take your first real-money deposit. An “Anjouan license” is commonly marketed as an offshore iGaming authorization connected to Anjouan (Comoros) and processed via licensing service channels (often referenced as Anjouan Licensing Services Inc.).
Anjouan Is Built for Modern iGaming Startups
- Launch fast – Anjouan’s streamlined process lets you move from plan to license in weeks, not 6–12 months.
- Reduce upfront cost – A leaner, more efficient framework that lets you prove your concept before you commit to big-ticket licenses.
- Operate multiple products under one license – Casino, live dealer, RNG games, poker, bingo, lotteries, sportsbook and more under a single regulatory umbrella.
- Favourable tax profile – 0% gaming tax on GGR, helping you keep more profit to reinvest into growth.
- Global reach (with smart restrictions) – Target international markets while staying away from clearly restricted countries and FATF-blacklisted jurisdictions.

Update State in 2026
Since mid-2025, the Anjouan licensing ecosystem has increasingly pushed a “B2B compliance perimeter”: B2B suppliers working with Anjouan-licensed operators (e.g., software, platforms, games, payments, and compliance/AML technology) are typically expected to hold either an Anjouan B2B licence or an approved B2B Licence Recognition Certificate (i.e., a recognition route for existing B2B providers).
In parallel, the administration and processing of Anjouan licences has been associated with Anjouan Licensing Services Inc. (ALSI), which presents itself as the body handling licence applications, compliance checks, and guidance materials.
The Anjouan licence is generally treated as annual, with renewal required each year, and the framework is usually presented as issuing standard, direct B2B or B2C licences (rather than “sub-licences”).

Our Anjouan License Process – Simple by Design
4-Step Process to Acquire an Anjouan Gaming License (B2C / B2B)
Step 1 — Vision, Feasibility & Eligibility Check
We start with a fast, structured assessment of your product (casino, sportsbook, multi-vertical), target markets, and corporate setup to confirm whether an Anjouan license is the right fit for your commercial goals.
In parallel, we run an early eligibility screening for key persons (UBO(s), directors, shareholders, key managers), because licenses are generally not issued to:
- persons under 18;
- individuals with relevant criminal records within the last 3 years; or
- applicants deemed to be of bad character (fit-and-proper concerns).
Outcome: clear “go / no-go”, recommended structure, and a practical roadmap.
Step 2 — Structure & Application File Preparation
Once the route is confirmed, we build the licensing “engine room”:
A) Corporate structuring. Company formation (if needed), shareholder/director setup, and operational footprint aligned with the licensing strategy
B) Compliance framework. Drafting and tailoring the core policies and documents typically requested for licensing and compliance checks, including player KYC, underage protections, responsible gaming, and Terms & Conditions.
C) KYC & documentation pack (complete file). We compile and quality-check the documentation for all relevant individuals, typically including:
- Certified copy of valid passport
- Recent utility bill (proof of address)
- Police clearance certificate
- CV / Resume
- Original bank reference (relationship usually > 2 years)
- Professional reference letter (accountant or lawyer; relationship usually > 2 years)
- Gaming content / product description, plus key agreements and/or third-party RNG testing certificates (where applicable)
- Proof of domain ownership
- Terms & Conditions + policy set (KYC/AML, responsible gaming, underage)
Document format rule (best practice): documents should be in English or accompanied by certified English translations, and generally dated within the last 90 days.
Outcome: a submission-ready pack aligned with the legal and technical expectations.
Step 3 — Submission & Regulatory Handling (ALSI route)
We submit the application through the applicable process (often associated with Anjouan Licensing Services Inc. (ALSI)), including the required documents and fees.
Then we manage the regulatory back-and-forth end-to-end:
- responses to clarifications and “Board”/review questions,
- coordination for any interviews or additional explanations regarding the business plan and operations,
- milestone updates so you always know where the file stands.
Typical review timing: often quoted as ~3–4 weeks, assuming a complete application pack and smooth Q&A.
Outcome: approval pathway managed professionally, without missed requests or delays caused by file gaps.
Step 4 — Licence Issuance, Go-Live & Ongoing Support
Once approved, we move from “licensed” to “operational”:
- support with banking / EMI / payments onboarding,
- operational readiness checks (KYC flow, T&Cs, website compliance basics),
- go-live assistance and ongoing support for renewals and compliance maintenance.
Outcome: you launch faster and start generating revenue with fewer operational surprises.
Serious Regulation, Modern Flexibility
The Anjouan gambling license is grounded in the On-Line Gaming Act 2005 and the Computer Gaming Licensing Act 007 of 2005.
What The Law Expects

Where You Can and Cannot Operate Under an Anjouan License
Not every jurisdiction is accessible – and that’s a good thing. Anjouan explicitly restricts certain countries and follows FATF recommendations.
- You must block players from restricted markets such as the United States, France, the Netherlands, Australia, and others designated by the Offshore Financial Authority.
- Residents of specific jurisdictions (including certain EU states and local OFA-listed territories) cannot be targeted.
- All FATF-blacklisted countries are prohibited.
- VPN use and neutral countries must be handled within your KYC/AML and risk framework.
We’ll help you design GEO-blocking, policies and T&Cs that align with Anjouan rules and your commercial strategy.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
