Permissions under
one Act.
Choosing the right tier and scope is the most consequential decision in the application.
B2C Operator Licence
The standard Anjouan offshore licence — covers casino, slots, live-dealer, sportsbook, poker, and lottery products. Single permission, broad scope, fast review.
B2B Sub-licence
Issued under a master B2C licensee. Used by content suppliers, RNG providers, and platform vendors who serve other licensed operators rather than end players.
Special-purpose Permits
Targeted permissions for crypto casino models, jackpot pooling, and skill-based gaming categories that benefit from a discrete regulatory line.

| Cost item | Amount |
|---|---|
| Application fee | USD 7,500 |
| Annual licence fee | USD 15,000 |
| Corporate vehicle & registered agent | USD 3,500 / yr |
| Compliance officer (outsourced) | USD 8,000—18,000 / yr |
| Technical certification (RNG, if needed) | USD 2,500—6,000 |
| Year-1 total | ~USD 25K — 50K |
Anjouan does not require local substance, resident director, or onshore office. Tax exposure depends on the holdco structure, not the Anjouan vehicle itself.
