Get this license

The Anjouan gaming license is issued by the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority (AOFA), part of the Union of the Comoros. It has quickly become one of the most popular entry-level jurisdictions in iGaming because a single license covers every gambling vertical — casino, live casino, sports betting, poker, bingo and lotteries — with no need for separate product permissions.

Anjouan combines fast processing (typically two to six weeks), a light-touch regulatory regime and a favourable tax structure, making it the go-to choice for startups and operators testing new brands. Its recognition among payment providers and game suppliers has grown substantially since 2023, and it is now accepted by most major aggregators.

Capital requirements

No fixed minimum capital is prescribed by the Authority. Applicants must demonstrate sufficient financial capacity to cover launch and operating costs, typically evidenced through bank statements or a corporate account with an adequate balance.

Tax treatment

No gaming tax on GGR. Qualifying offshore companies benefit from a 0% corporate income tax regime, with only modest annual registration duties.

Required documents

Certified passport copies and proof of address for all directors, shareholders and UBOs

Certificate of incorporation and corporate documents for the applicant company

Business plan describing products, target markets and payment methods

AML/CFT and Know-Your-Customer policy

Responsible gaming policy

Attestation that the gaming platform and RNG-based games are independently certified (GLI, BMM, iTech Labs or equivalent)

Corporate structure

The license is held by an International Company incorporated in Anjouan (Union of the Comoros). No physical office or resident staff are required, and shareholders may be individuals or foreign corporate entities. Most operators pair the license with a Comorian company and a banking-friendly processing entity elsewhere.
