Anjouan Gaming surpasses 1,650 internet gaming licences
Growing confidence from the international gaming industry has helped drive the expansion of Anjouan Gaming’s licensing framework.
Union of Comoros.- Anjouan Gaming, which administers the igaming licensing framework for the Autonomous Island of Anjouan in the Union of the Comoros, has surpassed 1,650 igaming licences, with nearly 1,500 currently active.
In a statement released on July 14, Anjouan Gaming said the milestone reflects growing confidence in its licensing framework among operators, platform providers, testing laboratories, compliance professionals, payment providers, advisers and other stakeholders across the international gaming industry.
Anjouan Gaming said: “The issuance of more than 1,650 licences isn’t simply a measure of growth. Each one represents a regulatory assessment, an ownership review, a compliance evaluation and a licensing decision.”
It said its regulatory framework aims to combine clear regulatory standards, meaningful oversight and practical commercial accessibility. The organisation added that the programme is supported by public licence verification, continuing compliance and supervisory reviews, mandatory anti-money laundering (AML) and counter-terrorist financing (CTF) controls, responsible gaming and player-protection measures, independent testing and certification requirements, and the suspension or termination of licences where regulatory obligations are not met.
Anjouan Gaming also highlighted its independent alternative dispute resolution (ADR) framework, saying licensed operators are required to participate in an impartial process for eligible player disputes. It said its role is to supervise licensees, enforce compliance with the regulatory framework and take action where operators fail to participate in the required dispute resolution process or otherwise breach their licensing obligations.
The regulator said it remained committed to listening, improving and strengthening its licensing regime as the international gaming industry continues to evolve.
