Anjouan Gaming Licence: Casinos, Operators & Verification

Anjouan is an autonomous island within the Union of the Comoros. A number of online casinos and sportsbooks operate under licences advertised as Anjouan Internet Gaming Licences.

The licensing organisation describes its framework as based on legislation adopted in 2005. Under this arrangement, the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA) is presented as the supervisory authority, while Anjouan Licensing Services Inc. (ALSI) administers gambling licences.

However, the legal authority behind this licensing system is disputed. In December 2025, the Central Bank of the Comoros publicly challenged the legitimacy of AOFA in connection with financial and banking licensing. An October 2026 investigation by The Guardian reported further objections from Comorian authorities concerning gambling licences issued in Anjouan's name. Anjouan Gaming maintains that its licensing framework is legally valid.

Operators can be searched in the Anjouan Gaming public register, which lists licence holders, registered domains and licence status. A registry entry confirms what the licensing organisation reports, but does not independently resolve the dispute over its legal authority.

Players should check the exact casino domain, licensing details and applicable country restrictions before registering. An Anjouan licence does not override local gambling laws or guarantee player protection.

Anjouan Gaming publishes a licensing framework for online gambling operators and suppliers. Its public register lists licence holders and may include the licence type, current status and operational domains associated with an individual licence.

A licence is issued to a legal entity rather than to a casino brand name alone. The websites used by an operator may therefore be recorded separately as operational domains under that licence. For players, the important check is whether the exact casino domain being used matches the information published in the register.

Licence records can change when a licence is issued, renewed, updated, suspended or expires. A licence badge or certificate shown on a casino website should therefore be checked against the current public register rather than treated as sufficient evidence on its own.

The register can be searched using details such as the operator, licence number or casino domain. The next section explains the main B2C and B2B licence categories used within the published Anjouan Gaming framework.

According to Anjouan Gaming's published licensing framework, Internet Gaming Licences are issued in two main categories:

• B2C (Business-to-Consumer): Intended for operators offering gambling services directly to players, including online casinos, sportsbooks, poker and other permitted gaming products.
• B2B (Business-to-Business): Intended for companies supplying gambling platforms, software and technical services to operators. A B2B licence does not, by itself, establish that a company is authorised to accept bets directly from players.

Some licence records include both B2C and B2B categories. The permitted activities and registered websites depend on the individual licence.

Operators are expected to use the domains recorded under their licences. Players should therefore check the exact casino website rather than relying only on the operator's brand name.

These categories describe the licensing organisation's framework. They do not independently establish its legal recognition or authorise gambling in countries where the activity is restricted.

Before registering with an Anjouan-licensed casino, check whether its licensing claim matches the information published by the licensing organisation.

1. Find the licence details. Check the casino's footer or Terms and Conditions for its operating company, licence number and licensing authority.
2. Search the public register. Use the Anjouan Gaming licence register to look up the company, licence number or casino domain.
3. Compare the records. Check the licence holder, licence number, licence type, current status, validity dates and registered operational domains. The exact casino website you intend to use should match the domain information published in the register.
4. Review the operator's conditions. Confirm country restrictions, payment methods, withdrawal limits, verification requirements and complaint procedures before depositing.

The register reflects information published by Anjouan Gaming. A matching record does not independently resolve the ongoing dispute over the licensing organisation's legal authority.

A licence claim should be considered alongside the operator's actual terms, availability in your jurisdiction and documented player experiences.

An Anjouan licence alone does not determine whether an online casino is suitable for you. Before choosing an operator from our list, compare its payment methods, bonuses, games and account conditions.

• Licence information: Check the operating company, licence number, current status and registered website in the public register. The exact casino domain should match the published licence information.
• Cryptocurrency payments: Confirm which coins and blockchain networks are supported, along with minimum deposits, withdrawal limits and fees. You can explore our casino payment methods guide for more details.
• Bonuses and wagering requirements: Compare welcome offers, eligible deposit methods, wagering conditions, game restrictions and withdrawal limits.
• Games and betting options: Check whether the operator provides your preferred slots, live casino games, casino originals or sportsbook markets.
• Verification and availability: Review country restrictions, KYC requirements and circumstances in which additional account checks may be requested.
• Customer support: Check the available contact methods, complaint procedures and published withdrawal policies.

Where available, our real-money casino tests provide additional evidence of individual deposit, gameplay and withdrawal experiences.

Use these factors to narrow down your options, then confirm the operator's current terms before depositing.

The legal authority behind Anjouan's offshore gambling licensing framework is currently disputed.

In December 2025, an ABC News investigation reported that authorities in the Union of the Comoros challenged the legitimacy of organisations operating under Anjouan's name, including the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA).

On October 19, 2026, The Guardian reported further objections from Comorian authorities and requests for cooperation with UK authorities concerning the offshore licensing network.

Anjouan Gaming disputes these criticisms. The organisation states that its Internet Gaming Licence framework is based on legislation adopted in 2005 and cites legal opinions supporting its position.

For players, this means that an entry in the Anjouan Gaming register confirms what the licensing organisation currently reports about an operator, licence and registered domains, but it should not be treated as independent confirmation that the licensing framework is recognised by the Union of the Comoros or by other jurisdictions.

An Anjouan licence also does not override gambling laws or local licensing requirements in countries where an operator accepts players. Players should therefore check the exact casino domain, operator terms, country restrictions and current licence information before registering.

Anjouan Gaming publishes regulatory requirements covering responsible gambling, player verification, game fairness, player funds and operator conduct. These are requirements of its published licensing framework and should not be confused with independently verified compliance by every casino.

According to the organisation's responsible gaming and regulatory standards, licensed operators are expected to provide:

• Age verification: Measures intended to prevent underage gambling.
• Player limits: Controls for deposits, losses, wagering and session duration.
• Self-exclusion: Procedures allowing players to restrict or close access to gambling services.
• Responsible gambling information: Access to information about gambling risks and support resources.
• Game fairness controls: Random number generators used in gaming products are required to be certified by an approved independent testing facility.
• Player fund safeguards: Published standards require player funds to be segregated from operational funds.

Players should check whether these measures are actually available at the casino they intend to use and review its account security, game information, payment terms and withdrawal policies.

For complaints, Anjouan Gaming's published procedures require players to contact the operator first. Operators are expected to maintain an internal complaints process and respond within the specified timeframe. If a dispute remains unresolved, it may be escalated to an approved Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) provider.

Anjouan Gaming states that it monitors operator compliance with its licensing requirements but does not mediate or adjudicate individual player disputes. Potential breaches of licence conditions may instead be reported through its compliance process.

Published regulatory requirements do not guarantee that an individual casino will provide fast withdrawals, resolve every complaint in the player's favour or remain compliant at all times. Players should therefore assess the operator's current terms and documented track record alongside its licence status.

If you experience a withdrawal delay, account restriction, disputed game result or bonus-related problem at an Anjouan-licensed casino, you should first contact the operator and follow its formal complaints procedure.

According to Anjouan Gaming's published complaint policy, the process works as follows:

1. Collect your evidence. Save relevant transaction records, screenshots, bonus terms, dates and correspondence with casino support.
2. Submit a formal complaint. Use the operator's complaint submission function, which Anjouan Gaming says should be accessible through its interactive licence seal. Other submission channels may not be accepted.
3. Observe the deadlines. The published policy specifies 14 calendar days for game outcome disputes and 30 calendar days for account-related disputes, including payments and bonuses.
4. Allow time for a response. Operators are expected to investigate and respond within 30 calendar days.
5. Escalate unresolved complaints. If the issue remains unresolved after the operator's internal process, you may approach an approved Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) provider.

Anjouan Gaming states that it monitors compliance with licensing requirements but does not mediate or decide individual player disputes. ADR providers assess complaints according to their own eligibility rules and procedures.

Check the operator's current complaint terms before submitting a claim. Neither the licensing arrangement nor the availability of ADR guarantees that a dispute will be resolved in the player's favour.

Anjouan-associated casinos differ in their cryptocurrency payment options, welcome bonuses, game selections and withdrawal conditions. Use the operator listings above to explore available options, then check the casino's current terms before registering or depositing.

Pay particular attention to the operator's licensing information, country restrictions and verification requirements. Given the ongoing dispute over Anjouan's licensing framework, a licence claim alone should not be treated as proof of an operator's reliability or legal availability in your country.
