What this licence promises

What the licence is

The Anjouan Gaming Authority administers Internet Gaming Licences issued under the laws of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan (Union of the Comoros). It says the framework rests on 2005 legislation including the Anjouan Computer Gaming Licensing Act.

The wording behind this

“The internet gaming regulatory framework is founded on legislation adopted in 2005, including the Anjouan Computer Gaming Licensing Act” (Anjouan Gaming)

“The Anjouan Gaming Authority is responsible for the administration and supervision of Internet Gaming Licences issued under the regulatory framework of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan.” (Anjouan Gaming)

How to check a licence

The Authority's public register can be searched by licence number, company name or operational domain, and returns the holder, number, type (B2C or B2B) and status. The register is updated periodically and a listed domain confirms only that it was notified to the Authority.

The wording behind this

“Search by licence number, company name, or operational domain.” (Anjouan Gaming)

“the register is updated periodically and may not reflect changes that have occurred since the most recent update” (Anjouan Gaming)

“Inclusion of a domain in the register confirms only that the domain has been notified to the Authority as associated with licensed activities.” (Anjouan Gaming)

Where it applies

Licences are issued by the Anjouan authority. Its complaint page refers to "players in excluded territories", but none of the Authority pages we opened publishes a list of excluded or permitted countries.

The wording behind this

“Complaints from players in excluded territories” (Anjouan Gaming)

Identity checks

Licensed operators must run customer due diligence, ongoing transaction monitoring, suspicious-activity reporting and record-keeping, appoint a compliance officer, and use age verification. The pages we opened set no ID or source-of-funds thresholds.

The wording behind this

“Customer due diligence procedures” (Anjouan Gaming)

“Operators must appoint a designated compliance officer responsible for AML/CTF oversight” (Anjouan Gaming)

“Age verification procedures” (Anjouan Gaming)

Player protection

As a licence condition, operators must provide self-exclusion, player controls for deposit, wager, loss and session limits, age verification, and responsible-gaming information. Players ask the operator to self-exclude, not the Authority.

The wording behind this

“Player controls for setting limits on deposits, wagers, losses, and session duration” (Anjouan Gaming)

“Self-exclusion mechanisms allowing players to restrict or close access to gaming services” (Anjouan Gaming)

“The Authority does not process individual self-exclusion requests.” (Anjouan Gaming)

If you have a complaint

Complaints go to the operator first, which must respond within 30 calendar days. Unresolved complaints can go to an approved independent ADR provider at the operator's cost. The Authority says it does not handle, mediate or adjudicate player complaints.

The wording behind this

“The Authority does not handle, mediate, or adjudicate player complaints.” (Anjouan Gaming)

“Operators are required to investigate and respond within 30 calendar days.” (Anjouan Gaming)

“The operator bears the cost of ADR proceedings.” (Anjouan Gaming)

Your money

The Regulatory Standards and Code of Conduct require operators to segregate player funds from operational funds. The pages we opened say nothing on insolvency protection or a compensation scheme.

The wording behind this

“Operators must maintain adequate financial resources and segregate player funds from operational funds.” (Anjouan Gaming)

“including the segregation of player balances from operational funds” (Anjouan Gaming)
