Recognition Notice

The Anjouan Recognition notice provides a faster route rather than applying for the full B2B licence in Anjouan. This is only available for gaming providers who already hold a valid license in another recognised jurisdiction. This includes the Isle of Man, Malta, Romania, Sweden, Gibraltar, Alderney, or another credible, regulated jurisdictions approved by the Anjouan authority. The gaming provider must be in good standing with their licensing authority, with no suspensions or compliance breaches.

The Recognition notice offers a streamlined process to market, typically obtained within 3-6 weeks, with reduced costs and the opportunity for providers to leverage existing supply platforms, software, and services directly to Anjouan-licensed B2C operators. The notice costs involve an application fee of €2,900 and annual fee of €9,500, resulting in total first year cost of €12,400.

The B2B gaming provider must meet several legal, technical and compliance requirements. These include submitting company documents, licence documentation and existing compliance, technical and operational details and documentation.

Key benefits of the Anjouan Recognition notice:

  • The Recognition notice enables operators to work with licenced B2C Anjouan operators without the need for full-licensing, simplifying compliance. B2B providers that obtain the notice also gain more credibility from B2C operators.
  • The Anjouan Recognition notice accepts a wide variety of B2B providers under one licence, including B2B platforms, software developers, RNG and game suppliers.
  • Gaming providers operating under the Recognition notice gain access to new markets and players, as they are able to operate in multiple jurisdictions, without the need for several licences.
  • The processing time to obtain the Anjouan Recognition notice is 3-6 weeks and the notice avails the costs of obtaining a full Anjouan licence, resulting in €12,400 for the first year.
