Light-touch licence

Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority

B2C and B2B internet gaming licences under the Anjouan Computer Gaming Licensing Act (2005); players in excluded territories fall outside its complaint process.

My verdict

Anjouan is a light-touch offshore licence, but it now has a public register, a verification framework and mandatory operator-paid ADR. The tight complaint deadlines and the lack of regulator mediation limit what it does for you. I count it as a baseline, not strong protection.

What it requires from casinos

  • Operators must keep player funds separate from operating funds.
  • Operators must run customer due diligence and monitor transactions.
  • Operators must offer self-exclusion plus deposit and loss limits.
  • RNGs must be certified by an approved independent test lab.
  • Licensees must name an approved ADR provider in their terms.

What to watch out for

  • The Authority does not handle or adjudicate individual player complaints.
  • Game outcome complaints must be made within 14 days of the session.
  • Complaints and ADR communications must be in English.

Scan the QR code on the operator's certificate or use Verify a Licence, which shows licensee, number, status, approved domains and validity.

If you have a dispute

Complain through the operator's licence seal; it has 30 days to respond. Then escalate to an approved ADR provider, paid by the operator. The Authority does not mediate or decide player complaints.

Enforcement example: On 10 February 2026 the Authority suspended one Internet Gaming Licence pending investigation.

No. It says it does not handle, mediate or adjudicate player complaints. After 30 days with the operator you can use an approved ADR provider, paid by the operator.
