How to check an Anjouan casino licence

Click the seal and read the entry it opens

Anjouan Gaming’s licence seal policy, read on 4 October 2026, says a licensed operator’s seal must link directly to its verification page in the authority’s public register and be shown site-wide without changes to its design, code or link. It must be removed as soon as the licence is suspended, revoked or expires, and must not be used on a domain the licence does not cover.

A licence certificate carries the licence number and a QR code that leads to the same verification page, which shows the licensee’s name, the licence number, its status, the approved domains and the validity period. The authority’s verification framework says a certificate that cannot be verified through the public register should not be relied on, because copies can be outdated or altered.

Read the expiry date, not just the status

The authority’s status definitions name four statuses: Active, Suspended, Revoked and Expired. Expired means the validity period ended without renewal, and only an Active licence authorises gaming. The register’s data uses none of those words: on 3 October 2026 every one of its 1,539 entries read “valid”, 344 of them with an expiry date that had already passed, and none read “Expired”.

So read the expiry date beside the status. If it has passed, ask the operator in writing for its current licence. The register’s disclaimer says it is updated periodically, may not reflect recent changes and that time-sensitive checks should go to the authority directly. Our Anjouan register data shows how long ago the passed dates fell and how the entries changed between two snapshots.

Check the suspended and revoked lists

The authority keeps suspended and revoked licences on separate pages. On 4 October 2026, the suspended list held one licence, a business-to-business one suspended on 8 September 2026 for breaching its licence conditions and failing to take part in dispute resolution, and the revoked list held two, revoked in June and July 2026 for fraud and for illegal sublicensing. None of those three licences appeared in the main register’s data.

The authority says revocation is permanent and that a revoked licence’s websites are blocked from any other licence. If a casino’s licence number is on either list, or cannot be found in the register at all, do not rely on its seal.

Compare the domain and the company

The register lists the domains each licence holder has notified. Its disclaimer says a listed domain only shows that it was notified to the authority, not that the licence holder owns it, and that a register entry is not an endorsement. Check that the domain in your address bar is on the entry, and that the company in the casino’s terms is the licence holder.

Both Anjouan-licensed casinos we review show why. On 3 October 2026, slotsvader.com was on the entry of Fionex Holding LTD, licence ALSI-202409044-FI2, whose expiry date of 22 September 2026 had passed, while Slots Vader’s terms name another company, Ramtinar Techconsult Limited. Rivo’s entry, under Exceptiosoft LTD, ran until 11 June 2027, but its terms say only that “The Company is licensed.” Our Slots Vader review and Rivo review set out both records.

What an Anjouan licence covers

Anjouan Gaming issues two kinds of internet gaming licence, according to its licence types page: business-to-consumer (B2C) licences for operators that offer gaming directly to players, and business-to-business (B2B) licences for companies that supply platforms, software or technical services to them. Permitted activities include online casinos, sports betting, poker and bingo, prediction markets and blockchain-based and cryptocurrency gaming, with each licence’s conditions deciding what it covers. Like any offshore licence, it says nothing about whether a casino may serve players in your country; that depends on your local law.

A complaint goes to the operator first, through the licence validator page its seal opens. The authority’s dispute-resolution page says operators should resolve it within 30 days, after which an unresolved complaint can go to an approved alternative dispute resolution (ADR) provider at the operator’s cost. On 4 October 2026 it listed four approved providers: EGIS ADR, Axion ADR, iGaming ADR and CADRE B.V. Our guide to complaining about an online casino covers the deadlines.

A quick checklist

• The seal opens the casino’s verification page in the authority’s public register.
• The entry lists the domain in your address bar.
• The expiry date has not passed, whatever the status says.
• The licence is not on the suspended or revoked list.
• The company named in the terms is the licence holder.
• You know the complaint route before you deposit.
