IGABroker secures iGaming licenses for operators in the four jurisdictions that matter in 2026: Anjouan, Vanuatu, Tobique, and Curaçao. One fixed quote, one point of contact, full application handled end to end.
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 Vanuatu Interactive Gaming License is issued under the Interactive Gaming Act [Cap 261] through the modernized VGA digital portal. With a €5,000 application fee, €10,000 annual fee, a flat 1% GGR tax, validity of up to 15 years, and explicit acceptance of crypto and Provably Fair gaming, it is one of the most cost-competitive formal government licenses available in 2026.
The Tobique gaming license is issued by the Tobique Gaming Commission under the sovereign authority of the Tobique First Nation (Neqotkuk) in New Brunswick, Canada. Launched under the Tobique Gaming Act 2023, it has rapidly become the middle path of offshore licensing: faster and cheaper than post-reform Curaçao, more credible with banks and payment providers than budget island licenses, with 0% GGR tax and up to five domains under one license.
The Curaçao gaming license has been rebuilt from the ground up. Under the National Ordinance on Games of Chance (LOK), the old master and sub-license system is gone: the Curaçao Gaming Authority now licenses every operator directly, maintains a public register, and enforces real compliance. The result is a more expensive but far more credible license - the jurisdiction of choice for serious operators including the largest crypto casinos in the world.
