Anjouan Gaming

What Anjouan Gaming does

Anjouan Gaming Authority is the exclusive regulatory authority for internet gaming licensing on the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, part of the Union of the Comoros. It operates under the Anjouan Offshore Financial Authority (AOFA) with supervisory oversight from the Anjouan Gaming Board, and licence administration is conducted via the Anjouan Gaming platform with Anjouan Licensing Services Inc. acting as the sole authorised administrator. The underlying legal framework is statutory, anchored in the Anjouan Computer Gaming Licensing Act 2005, the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority Act 2005, the Anjouan Money Laundering (Prevention) Act 2005, and the 2001 Constitution of the Union of Comoros, and was reinforced by the Comoros' accession to the WTO in August 2024 and a September 2024 independent legal opinion confirming licence validity. The current operational entity is dated 2023 in firmographic records, distinct from the 2005 legislative framework.

The authority issues two licence categories: a B2C Operator Licence covering online casino, sports betting, poker, prediction markets, and blockchain- or cryptocurrency-enabled gaming; and a B2B Service Provider Licence covering platform, software, and technical services to licensed B2C operators. Its technology layer is a regulatory and verification platform rather than a commercial product platform. Core components include the Interactive Licence Seal (an embedded verification tool linking to the public register with QR codes), the Public Licence Verification Tool (search by licence number, company name, or domain), the Certificate Verification Framework, a Compliance Reporting System, and an Authorized ADR Provider Network (EGIS ADR, Axion ADR, iGaming ADR, CADRE B.V.). Pricing is fixed and uniform: €17,828 one-time issuance fee plus €17,828 annual renewal for both B2C and B2B, with €500 per additional domain per cycle for B2C only. Distribution is direct-to-applicant globally with no territorial restrictions under Anjouan law, and the authority conducts ongoing supervision evidenced by its Q1 2026 quarterly compliance review (12 supervisory assessments, 3 formal compliance notices, compliance rates above 90%) and at least one licence suspension enforcement action.

Core offering

Anjouan Gaming is the designated regulatory authority for the licensing and supervision of internet gaming operations under the laws of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of the Comoros. It issues B2C and B2B Internet Gaming Licences, maintains a public register of licensed entities, enforces compliance with anti-money laundering and responsible gaming standards, and operates verification tools (Interactive Licence Seal, Public Licence Verification Tool, Certificate Verification Framework) to confirm licence authenticity and status.

Product overview

Anjouan Gaming is a regulatory authority, not a commercial product company. Its core 'products' are regulatory services: B2C and B2B Internet Gaming Licences authorizing operators to conduct internet gaming activities under Anjouan law; the Interactive Licence Seal for operator website verification; Public Licence Verification Tool and Certificate Verification Framework enabling third-party licence status checks; Compliance Reporting System for regulatory concerns; and an Authorized ADR Provider Network for dispute resolution. These form an integrated regulatory ecosystem rather than a traditional platform-plus-modules architecture.

Direct peers

• Gibraltar Gambling Commissioner: Gibraltar's Gambling Commissioner regulates B2C online gambling operators and B2B suppliers from a small jurisdiction — directly comparable to Anjouan in offering tiered licensing, public registers, and enforcement over a globally distributed internet gaming operator base.
• Malta Gaming Authority (MGA): The Maltese Gaming Authority is the Tier-1 EU gaming regulator licensing B2C and B2B operators across online casino, sports betting, and skill games. It is the closest direct peer to Anjouan Gaming — both are statutory gaming regulators issuing multi-vertical internet gaming licences to global operators, with public registers, compliance supervision, and enforcement powers.
• Curaçao Gaming Control Board (GCB): Curaçao's GCB (post-2024 reform under the LOK/NGA framework) is the most direct offshore competitor to Anjouan Gaming, licensing B2C and B2B online gaming operators globally at competitive pricing. Both target the same offshore operator segment and compete on cost, speed, and credibility.
• Alderney Gambling Control Commission (AGCC): The AGCC regulates eGaming operators and B2B software suppliers from a small jurisdiction — comparable to Anjouan in offering a tiered B2C/B2B licence regime with regulatory oversight, AML requirements, and enforcement powers targeting global operators.
• Kahnawake Gaming Commission: The Kahnawake Gaming Commission licenses online poker, casino, and sportsbook operators from a First Nations jurisdiction — directly comparable to Anjouan as a smaller-jurisdiction regulator issuing internet gaming licences to a global operator pool, with a public register and supervisory framework.
• Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission: The Isle of Man GSC regulates online gambling operators and software suppliers under a tiered licensing regime — directly comparable to Anjouan's B2C/B2B licence structure. Both act as dedicated internet-gaming regulators with public registers, compliance supervision, and AML oversight.

Broad incumbents

• UK Gambling Commission: The UK Gambling Commission is the Tier-1 incumbent regulator for online and land-based gambling in Great Britain. It is comparable to Anjouan in licensing online operators and enforcing compliance, but operates at a much larger scale with stricter AML/responsible-gaming standards.
• Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation (PAGCOR): PAGCOR is a state-owned regulator and operator licensing online gaming (including POGO) across Asia-Pacific. Comparable to Anjouan as a state-affiliated regulator combining licensing with supervisory enforcement in internet gaming, though operating at a much larger regional scale.

Others

• Gaming Laboratories International (GLI): GLI is the leading independent testing lab providing game certification, RNG/RTP verification, and technical compliance services to gaming regulators worldwide. While not a direct competitor, GLI is an ecosystem participant whose testing and certification work underpins regulators like Anjouan Gaming.

Emerging players

• Tobique Gaming Commission: The Tobique Gaming Commission is an emerging smaller-jurisdiction regulator licensing online gaming operators, overlapping with Anjouan's positioning as a cost-effective alternative to Tier-1 jurisdictions. Both compete in the same offshore/internet-gaming licence segment.
