Following its recent announcement, the Anjouan iGaming regulator has released further clarification and key updates regarding its new B2B License Recognition Certificate – a regulatory mechanism aimed at formalizing and streamlining the role of third-party service providers working with Anjouan-licensed operators.
The program is now officially live, and the regulator is inviting applications from B2B providers already licensed in well-regarded jurisdictions such as Malta, the Isle of Man, Romania, Sweden, and other internationally recognized markets. Those granted a Recognition Certificate will be permitted to legally supply services – including platforms, content, software, and more – to Anjouan B2C licensees without holding a full local B2B license.
The regulator has confirmed that from July 1st, 2025, the Recognition Certificate or a full Anjouan B2B license will be a mandatory requirement for all B2B entities working with Anjouan-licensed operators. This includes software developers, platform providers, RNG and game suppliers.
To ease the transition, a 90-day grace period will be in place from the enforcement date, giving existing providers time to regularize their status. Compliance support will be offered throughout the period, and early applications are encouraged to avoid processing delays.
In response to industry feedback, the annual cost of the Recognition Certificate has also been reduced by EUR700 ($800), reinforcing the regulator’s stated goal of building a trusted, cooperative, and globally compatible licensing framework.
The initiative reflects Anjouan’s continued push to enhance integrity and accountability within its licensing ecosystem, while recognizing the role of credible, established B2B providers in maintaining a safe and transparent iGaming market.
