In this article, iGaming industry consultant Ron Mendelson, Fast Offshore, looks into the benefits of obtaining an Anjouan gaming license, and why it’s the jurisdiction of choice for online casinos, sportsbooks, and gaming platforms in 2025.

The iGaming industry moves quickly with operators racing to capture new markets while navigating an ever-tightening web of regulations. For over 850 iGaming operators, Anjouan has become the ideal jurisdiction for striking a balance between compliance and growth. In the Comoros archipelago, Anjouan implements a licensing model that’s both all-encompassing and agile, proving that regulatory responsibility doesn’t have to hinder your expansion. With the lowest market costs and a setup process that takes just days when you partner with Fast Offshore, Anjouan is redefining offshore success for iGaming businesses. Here’s why it’s the jurisdiction of choice for online casinos, sportsbooks, and gaming platforms in 2025.

Compliance that powers trust

In iGaming, compliance often feels like a delicate balancing act - meet stringent regulations or prioritize rapid market entry. Anjouan completely dismantles this with a regulatory framework that’s stringent yet efficient. Overseen by the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority, the jurisdiction enforces global standards, such as anti-money laundering and know-your-customer requirements, without imposing excessive red tape on operators.

This streamlined approach offers significant benefits for operators. Routine compliance tasks, such as player verification or transaction reporting, are simplified through clear guidelines and digital tools, often taking only a few hours to complete. This efficiency frees operators to focus on user acquisition and platform enhancements. More importantly, Anjouan’s reputable license builds trust with key stakeholders. Payment processors, game providers, and players view Anjouan-licensed platforms as credible, opening doors to partnerships that might otherwise be inaccessible with other licenses. 

Scalability for iGaming ambitions

Anjouan’s licensing framework is designed to meet the needs of iGaming operators. Whether you’re launching a niche casino platform or scaling a sportsbook across continents, Anjouan adapts to your growth. Initial licenses cover core activities, such as online slots, live dealer games, or sports betting; however, expanding into new verticals, like esports wagering or virtual sports, is a seamless and straightforward process. 

This flexibility is crucial in the iGaming industry’s competitive landscape. A mid-sized casino operator we worked with scaled from 50,000 to over 500,000 monthly active users in under two years, entering high-growth markets like Latin America and Southeast Asia. Unlike jurisdictions with hefty capital requirements, Anjouan keeps costs low, enabling operators to invest in marketing, game development, and user experience. The result is a regulatory environment that supports ambitious growth without unnecessary hurdles.

Fast Offshore: Your iGaming fast-track

Setting up an iGaming operation can be a bit of a headache, but Fast Offshore makes Anjouan licensing effortless. With decades of experience in the iGaming sector, we streamline the process, including application, due diligence, and issuance, delivering a fully operational license in just days, provided everything is in order. Anjouan’s licensing costs are the lowest on the market, making it accessible to both startups and established operators alike. 

Why Anjouan for iGaming in 2025?

The iGaming industry is facing growing regulatory pressure, stemming from the EU’s evolving frameworks and stricter global AML standards. Non-compliance risks hefty fines, payment freezes, or even platform shutdowns. Anjouan’s responsible framework mitigates these risks while fueling growth. Licensees report a 30% increase in player acquisition across borders, driven by the trust and credibility of an Anjouan license. Meanwhile, the jurisdiction’s scalability ensures operators can seize emerging opportunities, whether it’s adding crypto payments or targeting new regions without regulatory roadblocks.

Anjouan’s formula, Responsible and Scalable, is a proven model for success in iGaming. Those 850+ licensees aren’t exceptions; they represent the standard, including casinos, sportsbooks, and gaming platforms that thrive in a competitive market. From streamlined compliance to flexible licensing, Anjouan empowers operators to build trust, expand reach, and dominate the iGaming landscape.
