What the Anjouan licence actually costs
The Anjouan Gaming Licensing Authority (AGA) charges a flat annual licence fee of EUR 17,828. That figure covers the regulatory licence itself, the annual renewal right, and access to the AGA's compliance framework. It does not change based on your revenue.
On top of the licence fee, you need a local IBC (international business company) to hold the licence. ICOS handles formation and ongoing maintenance. The ICOS service fee covers the full application, all documentation, and four months of post-licence compliance support. The total below is fixed. It will not move.

No GGR tax. No revenue share.
Anjouan charges no gross gaming revenue tax and takes no revenue share. Your regulatory cost in year one is EUR 29,078. In year two it drops to EUR 21,023. There are no variable charges tied to how much your operation earns. That predictability is one of the main reasons operators choose Anjouan over jurisdictions that take a percentage of revenue as it scales.
Year 2 and ongoing
| Item | EUR |
|---|---|
| Licence renewal | 17,828 |
| IBC annual maintenance | 3,195 |
| Total | 21,023 |
How Anjouan compares
| Jurisdiction | Year 1 cost | GGR tax |
|---|---|---|
| Anjouan | EUR 29,078 | None |
| Curacao | EUR 52,000+ | None |
| MGA (Malta) | EUR 80,000+ | Variable |
Curacao has a longer track record and stronger payment processor recognition, but costs roughly 80% more in year one. MGA is the benchmark for regulated markets in Europe and carries significantly more player trust, but the compliance burden and ongoing GGR tax make it a poor fit for early-stage operations.
Anjouan is the right starting point if you want to launch quickly at a fixed cost, then consider upgrading your jurisdiction as volume justifies the additional overhead.
