What types of gambling licenses does Anjouan issue?
Anjouan issues two gaming license types: B2C and B2B. A B2C license is for operators running their own platforms and covers casinos, sports betting, poker, lottery, bingo, crypto casinos, and fantasy sports. A B2B license is for solution providers and is recognized through a B2B recognition certificate, covering software developers, payment processors, and white-label platforms.
B2C license, for online gambling operators
Operators who run their own platforms need a B2C license to operate legally, win player trust, and work with payment providers. The Anjouan B2C license covers:
Online casinos: slots, table games, and live dealer games.
Sports betting: fixed-odds betting, live wagering, and eSports.
Poker and card games: online poker rooms, peer-to-peer games, and tournaments.
Lottery and bingo: digital lotteries, raffles, and bingo.
Crypto casinos: payments in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies.
Fantasy and skill games: real-money fantasy sports and skill-based games.
B2B license, for gaming solution providers and startups
Some businesses supply services to operators rather than running a platform. The Anjouan B2B license, confirmed by a B2B recognition certificate, applies to:
B2B gaming providers: payment processors, software developers, and affiliate networks.
Startups: the Anjouan license has fewer regulatory hurdles than Malta or the UK, which suits new businesses.
White-label and turnkey providers: companies offering ready-made casino or sportsbook platforms.
