An Anjouan gaming license is an online gambling license issued on Anjouan, an autonomous island of the Union of the Comoros in the Indian Ocean. As of November 2026, licenses are administered by Anjouan Gaming under the authority of the Anjouan Offshore Financial Authority (AOFA), with the Anjouan Gaming Board providing supervisory oversight.
After Curaçao, Anjouan is the most common license among the offshore casinos we review. This page explains what the license is, what it means for players, and how to check it. Regulator facts come from the Anjouan Gaming website, checked in November 2026; where we could not confirm a detail on an official page, we leave it out.
Who Issues the Anjouan Gaming License?
Anjouan Gaming issues and supervises internet gaming licenses on Anjouan. It operates under the Anjouan Offshore Financial Authority, set up under the laws of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, and the Anjouan Gaming Board oversees the licensing regime.
According to Anjouan Gaming, its scope covers all internet gaming conducted under licenses issued in the jurisdiction, for both business-to-consumer (B2C) operators and business-to-business (B2B) suppliers.
How Does Anjouan Licensing Work?
Anjouan issues internet gaming licenses in defined B2C and B2B categories, each with its own conditions and obligations. Operators go through a structured application with licensing due diligence and must meet the regulator’s published standards and code of conduct.
Industry guides describe the B2C license as covering several gambling verticals under one permit and renewing yearly, with low fees compared with Curaçao. These details come from licensing consultants, not the regulator, so treat them as background rather than official terms.
What Protection Does an Anjouan License Give Players?
An Anjouan license gives you a regulator that can suspend or revoke an operator’s license. It gives less individual recourse than a major regulator such as the Malta Gaming Authority.
Anjouan Gaming states that it can suspend and revoke licenses and that it publishes enforcement actions under its enforcement policy. In November 2026, its site noted that one internet gaming license had been suspended pending investigation.
We could not find an official requirement for Anjouan licensees to use a certified independent dispute resolution provider, as Malta and Curaçao have. If a payout dispute arises, complain to the casino first, keep every message and transaction record, and then contact the regulator through its official site.
How Does Anjouan Compare With Curaçao and Malta?
Anjouan offers lighter oversight than Malta and fewer published player-dispute rules than post-reform Curaçao. The comparison below uses each regulator’s own published material as of November 2026.
| Point | Anjouan | Curaçao | Malta |
|---|---|---|---|
| Regulator | Anjouan Gaming under the AOFA | Curaçao Gaming Authority | Malta Gaming Authority |
| Public register | Yes, with license status | License portal and public warnings | Licensee Register |
| Published ADR rules | Not found on official site | ADR certification guidelines | Binding ADR Directive since December 3, 2018 |
| Published enforcement | Yes | Public warnings | Enforcement Register |
How Do You Verify an Anjouan License?
Match the casino’s license details against the public register on the regulator’s site before you deposit. Several unofficial sites use similar names, so start from the address below.
- Find the license number and licensed company name in the casino footer or terms.
- Search the public register on Anjouan Gaming and confirm the license is listed with an active status for that company.
- Check that the casino’s domain matches the one tied to the license, and look for any published enforcement action.
A license claim with no number, or a number that does not appear in the register, is a red flag. Our casino rating method explains how we weigh licenses in our scores.
