The fastest cost-efficient route to a recognized iGaming license. The Anjouan gaming license, issued under the authority of the Union of the Comoros, has become the most popular offshore licensing route for new iGaming and crypto gambling operators. One all-vertical license, no tax on gross gaming revenue, no local office requirement, and issuance in as little as 2 to 6 weeks make it the fastest credible path from concept to a live, licensed operation.
The Anjouan gaming license is issued under the Computer Gaming Licensing Act 007 of 2005 and supervised by the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority together with the Anjouan Betting and Gaming Board. Over the past several years it has overtaken Curaçao as the default first license for new operators, driven by low cost, fast processing, and a single-license model that covers every iGaming vertical without sub-licenses or product-specific addenda.\n\nA single Anjouan license authorizes B2C operation of online casino, sportsbook, poker, lottery, bingo, scratch cards, fantasy, eSports wagering, and live dealer products. A parallel B2B route covers platform providers, game studios, and aggregators. Multiple brands and domains can operate under one license, which keeps expansion costs predictable as a portfolio grows.\n\nThe fiscal position is the headline: 0% tax on gross gaming revenue, 0% corporate income tax, and no VAT. Year-one all-in costs, including company formation and compliance setup, typically land between €18,000 and €23,000 depending on structure, with annual renewals in the region of €17,000. There is no requirement for a staffed local office or resident directors - a registered legal address and an authorized local agent are sufficient.\n\nCompliance obligations are real but manageable: AML/CFT procedures with an appointed compliance officer, KYC on players, responsible gaming controls, and, new for 2026, a designated ADR (alternative dispute resolution) provider for every licensee. Crypto operations are explicitly permitted, which is why a large share of new crypto casinos launch on Anjouan paper.\n\nThe main limitation is market reach. Anjouan-licensed operators must exclude locally regulated markets such as the USA, UK, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, Australia, and all FATF-blacklisted territories. For operators targeting LATAM, Asia, Africa, the CIS, and other open markets, the license offers broad practical coverage at a fraction of the cost of mid-tier jurisdictions.
