How Much Does an Anjouan Gaming Licence Cost? Fees, Dated
Anjouan Gaming's own schedule: €17,828 to issue, €17,828 a year to renew, €500 per extra B2C domain, set against what three vendors quote.
An Anjouan gaming licence costs €17,828 to issue and €17,828 a year to renew, for B2C operators and B2B suppliers alike, with €500 for each additional B2C domain, according to the fee schedule Anjouan Gaming publishes, which this desk read on 17 October 2026. Fees are in euros, and application fees are non-refundable.
It is an evergreen question with a dated answer: the Authority says fee schedules are “subject to periodic review” and asks applicants to confirm current fees before submitting. The consultancies ranking for the question quote other numbers.
How much does an Anjouan gaming licence cost at the regulator?
Anjouan Gaming, which describes itself as the licensing authority under the laws of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan, Union of the Comoros, publishes a fee schedule, read on 17 October 2026, with three rows:
| Fee type | B2C licence | B2B licence | Frequency |
|---|---|---|---|
| Licence issuance | €17,828 | €17,828 | One-time |
| Annual renewal | €17,828 | €17,828 | Annual |
| Additional domain/URL | €500 each | N/A | Licensing cycle |
Application fees accompany the submission, renewal fees fall due before the renewal date, and administrative fees for domain changes, amendments and replacement certificates are “communicated at the time of request.” A budget built from the table alone is a floor.
The Authority’s FAQ, read the same day, repeats that fees are non-refundable.
Why do Anjouan licence cost figures differ?
Because the ranking pages mix the regulator’s fee with their own package prices, and some of their figures do not match the schedule. This desk read the top three on 17 October 2026:
| Figure quoted | Printed by | Against the schedule |
|---|---|---|
| Licence fee “approximately €17,000” | SoftSwiss, updated 5 June 2026 | Rounded; schedule says €17,828 |
| B2B recognition certificate €9,500 a year | SoftSwiss; GBO adds €2,900 application | No such fee on the three regulator pages read |
| €17,000 a year B2C licence and renewal | GBO Licensing | Schedule says €17,828 |
| ”~€17,828 all-in” year one | GBO Licensing | Its own itemised table totals €25,278 |
| €22,928 a year from year two | GBO Licensing | Includes €5,928 of GBO services |
| €1,000 a year per extra domain | GBO Licensing | Schedule says €500, B2C only |
| €17,828 application, renewal “approx. 15,000 EUR” | Global Law Experts | Issuance matches; renewal is €2,828 under |
| Fees refundable on refusal, less admin charges | Global Law Experts | Regulator: non-refundable regardless of outcome |
GBO Licensing is the instructive case. Its summary box promises a year-one cost of ”~€17,828 all-in”, which happens to be the regulator’s issuance fee to the euro. Its itemised table then lists €650 incorporation, €3,100 maintenance, a €17,000 licence fee and an €828 platform subscription, which add to €21,578, prints a total of €25,278 and calls that “a fully bundled cost, not a starting price.” Both cannot be year one; the table is the more honest.
Global Law Experts says a refused applicant’s fees are refundable less administrative charges. The regulator’s page says the opposite, twice, and it is the page an applicant is held to.
What is a regulator fee and what is a vendor cost?
On the schedule, a B2C applicant pays €17,828 to be issued and €17,828 each year after. Incorporation, a registered office, a compliance officer and licensing software are services consultancies sell around the licence; GBO prices them at €5,928 a year from year two. They may be necessary. They are not Authority fees, and a quote blending the two should be pulled apart before comparing.
Is there a B2B recognition certificate fee?
SoftSwiss says B2B suppliers to Anjouan licensees need a local B2B licence or a recognition certificate at €9,500 a year; GBO repeats the figure. The Authority does run a Recognition Letter Register. But the fees, FAQ and licence-types pages read on 17 October 2026 print no recognition-certificate fee. That is a statement about three pages, not proof no fee exists; the application-process and licence-conditions pages were not read.
What the fee does and does not prove
A fee proves what a regulator charges. It says nothing about whether a site holds a licence, a register question covered in how to verify an Anjouan gaming licence, or what the licence is worth as evidence, weighed in Anjouan vs Curaçao. For the same exercise elsewhere, see the Kahnawake licence cost and the Curaçao licence cost under the LOK.
Frequently asked questions
How much does an Anjouan gaming licence cost?
Per Anjouan Gaming’s fee schedule, read on 17 October 2026, licence issuance costs €17,828 and annual renewal €17,828, for B2C and B2B licences alike, plus €500 for each additional B2C domain. Fees are payable in euros and application fees are non-refundable. Company setup, a registered office and compliance staff are vendor costs on top.
What is the renewal fee for an Anjouan licence?
The regulator’s schedule lists an annual renewal of €17,828 for both B2C and B2B, due before the renewal date the Authority specifies. Vendor pages quote lower figures: GBO Licensing prices renewal at €17,000, and Global Law Experts puts it at approximately €15,000 including a compliance officer fee. The regulator’s own number is the one to budget against.
How long does it take to get an Anjouan gaming licence?
The regulator’s fees, FAQ and licence-types pages read on 17 October 2026 print no processing time. The figures in circulation are vendors’ own: GBO Licensing says 4-8 weeks end to end, and Global Law Experts cites an officially stated period of up to two months, 1-1.5 months in practice. Treat each as the vendor’s estimate.
Is there a gaming tax in Anjouan?
SoftSwiss says Anjouan imposes no gambling tax on gross gaming revenue, and Global Law Experts says there is no GGR tax under the licence for offshore income. Those are vendor statements. The regulator pages this desk read on 17 October 2026 carry no tax statement either way, so the claim rests on the vendors, not on the Authority.
