An excellent opportunity is available for new operators: with Slotegrator’s special promotional offer valid until the end of 2025, you can pair the Anjouan license with a fully functional iGaming platform and start operating even faster.

Over the past couple of years, Anjouan has firmly established itself as one of the most dynamic licensing jurisdictions in the global iGaming sector. The region continues to demonstrate strong growth, with hundreds of operators obtaining approval annually. The jurisdiction has a set of advantages particularly valuable in today’s competitive environment: predictable costs, regulatory clarity, and a straightforward entry process.

For early-stage iGaming businesses, Anjouan offers a fast, legitimate, and cost-efficient entry point. With no GGR, VAT, or corporate tax and compliance aligned to international standards, operators can focus their resources on product development and customer acquisition. Cost stability is another advantage: with annual expenses of €17,000–€25,000, the license is one of the most financially accessible options on the market, allowing companies to plan confidently without unexpected regulatory burdens.

The licensing process is equally optimized for operational efficiency. Approval is typically granted within 2–4 weeks, significantly accelerating time to market compared to more traditional jurisdictions. The license covers the full spectrum of iGaming verticals — casino, sports betting, live dealer, lotteries, poker; it removes the need to secure separate approvals for additional products.

As a World Trade Organization member, the Anjouan jurisdiction operates within a recognized regulatory framework. Its crypto-friendly environment is especially valuable for operators in regions with limited banking infrastructure, while strict AML/CFT standards ensure transparency and maintain the integrity of the ecosystem.

“The Anjouan license costs less than many comparable solutions, making it one of the most affordable options out there, which is perfect for most online gambling businesses, and especially for startups. For many of our clients, it has become a strategic launchpad rather than just a licensing option”, comments Petr Stehlik, lawyer at Slotegrator.
