AOFA + Anjouan Licensing Services Inc. (ALSI, May 2023). Computer Gaming Licensing Act 2005 framework.
Gaming tax
Zero GGR/corporate gaming tax in Anjouan.
Marketing climate
Light local rules. Restricted markets (geo-block list): Australia, Austria, France, Germany, Netherlands, Spain, UK, US, Comoros, all FATF-blacklisted countries.
The market
B2B supplier rule (July 2025): all B2B suppliers to Anjouan-licensed operators must hold a local Anjouan B2B licence or approved B2B Recognition Certificate (annual fee ~€9,500). Recognition certificate requires holder to already be licensed in Malta, IoM, Romania (ONJN), Alderney, Gibraltar, or other approved jurisdiction. Payment partner acceptance improving (Evolution Gaming whitelist confirmed June 2025); major PSPs cautious. Many operators run a Cyprus/Estonia/UK Payment Agent Co.
How the application runs
AOFA/ALSI application; integrity, technical, financial dossier.
Ongoing compliance
AOFA AML and RG regulations. Self-exclusion mechanism.
What you can and cannot say
Light local rules; geo-restrictions enforced.
The honest read
What it means for your plan
Cheapest fast-launch credible licence post-Curaçao reform. The new B2B-supplier rule and prohibited-market list meaningfully constrain product menus. Banking remains the main practical risk.
