What it covers
Anjouan issues a single gaming licence covering casino, live casino, slots, sportsbook and lottery. Approval is quick and inexpensive compared with EU regimes, which is why it became popular with crypto-first brands after Curaçao tightened its rules.
What it means for players
- Minimal ongoing supervision — the regulator rarely intervenes in individual disputes.
- No mandatory independent game-fairness audits.
- No compensation scheme if an operator stops paying out.
- Player protection depends almost entirely on the operator's own policies.
Our position
An Anjouan licence is not automatically a red flag — several established brands hold one — but it should not be the only reason you trust a site. Weigh it together with payout history, review reputation, published audits and how the operator handles complaints.
