What is Anjouan Licence?

An Anjouan licence is offshore licensing at its lightest — low cost, minimal requirements, and no register a player can search.

What it means in practice

An Anjouan licence is issued by the Autonomous Island of Anjouan in the Union of the Comoros, under a framework that grew quickly after Curaçao began reforming its own regime in 2023. Licence numbers look like ALSI-112310012-F15. It sits at the lighter end even of offshore licensing. Fees and turnaround are low, requirements on player funds and complaints handling are minimal, and — the practical point — there is no register a player can search, so a number in a footer cannot be confirmed by anyone outside the operator. Treat it as a signal about recourse rather than about fraud. Plenty of ordinary casinos hold one. But if a payout is refused, an Anjouan licence gives you no realistic escalation path, so the operator's own complaints process and any named ADR body are the whole of your protection.

Why it matters

A definition like this one decides what an offer is actually worth. The same wording turns up in bonus terms, on payment pages and in game rules, and it is usually where a promotion’s real cost is hiding — so it is worth reading an operator’s own terms with this meaning in mind rather than the marketing above them.

You must be of legal gambling age where you live — 18 in most markets, 19 or 21 in others. Understanding a term does not make an outcome more likely: casino games are built to return less than they take over time. Set deposit and time limits before you play.
