Anjouan licence check: how to read the register properly

Data as of: Anjouan Gaming public licence register read 21 September 2026; regulator's website pages read 22 September 2026. 18+.

Anjouan's licence register is public, searchable and free. It also prints the same status, "valid", on every one of its 1,527 entries, including 340 whose printed expiry date has passed. So an Anjouan licence check that stops at the status field tells you almost nothing. The columns that do the work are the domain list and the expiry date, and both have traps.

This guide walks through the check in five steps, using what the register printed on 21 September 2026 and what the regulator's own pages say about it. For the general method across regulators, start with how to check a crypto casino licence; for Curaçao's two-source check, see Curaçao licence check.

Step 1: find the licence number on the casino's site

Anjouan licence numbers look like ALSI-202410011-FI1: the letters ALSI, a hyphen, a nine-digit block, a hyphen, and a suffix, usually FI1 or FI2 and occasionally up to FI7. Casinos usually print the number in the footer, often under a licence seal.

Two things to know before you copy it. First, the register itself doesn't type the prefix consistently: on 21 September 2026, 1,521 entries read "ALSI-", three read "ALSI" with no hyphen, one read "ALSl-" with a lowercase L, one "ALSi-", and one entry had an empty number field altogether. Second, the suffix wobbles too: a few numbers have none (Roobet's, ALSI-202507005, is one), two end in "FII" (including Rollbit's), two in "Fll", one in "F16", and one has a space before the digit. If an exact search returns nothing, that may be why. Search by company name or domain as well before drawing any conclusion.

Step 2: search the register three ways

The regulator's verification page says you can "search by licence number, company name, or operational domain", and that results "display the licence holder's registered name, licence number, licence type (B2C or B2B), and current status". The register page itself carries the full table, with two more columns: issue date and expiry date, plus the domain list.

Do all three searches. A number search confirms the licence exists. A company search catches prefix typos and shows whether the company holds more than one licence (on 21 September, only one company did). A domain search is the one that matters for you, because it answers whether the site you are on is tied to the licence at all.

Step 3: check that your domain is on the list

The register connects a licence to a website through one column: the domains the licensee has declared. The regulator's disclaimer is explicit about what that means: "Domain names listed in the register reflect information provided by the licence holder", and "inclusion of a domain in the register confirms only that the domain has been notified to the Authority as associated with licensed activities."

What the column looked like on 21 September 2026:

• 49 licences list no domain at all.

• 61 list ten or more; one, held by Novatrix SRL, lists 68.

• Seven domains appear under more than one licence.

• One licence, held by EZ Spins Ltd, covers bitcasino.io, livecasino.io and sportsbet.io together.

Search for the exact domain in your address bar, not the brand name. When we ran this check on 21 September 2026, 33 of the casinos BullsRank tracked showed an Anjouan number; the brand's main domain was on its licence's list for 26 and missing for 7. Four of the seven hold a licence that names a sister address instead: duelbits.io rather than duelbits.com, betwinner.direct rather than betwinner.com, melbet.global rather than melbet.com, betpanda.gg rather than betpanda.io. Our article on Anjouan licences that list another domain has the detail. A domain missing from the list doesn't prove the casino is unlicensed; it does mean the register doesn't connect that address to the licence.

Step 4: read the expiry date, because the status won't help

The regulator's status definitions page describes four categories, "Active", "Suspended", "Revoked" and "Expired", and says each "reflects a specific determination by the Authority". Its definition of "Expired" is clear: "The licence validity period has ended and the licence has not been renewed."

The register's published data uses none of those four words. On 21 September 2026 all 1,527 entries carried the status "valid", and 340 of them (22.3%) had a printed expiry date that had already passed. Some had passed by more than a year. One entry, held by Vark Services VS SRL, prints an expiry date of 4 August 2025 against an issue date of 5 August 2025, a term that ended the day before it began; it too reads "valid".

So compare the expiry date with today's date yourself. A passed date next to "valid" is common in this register, and the register won't flag it for you. Anjouan licences are short: 886 of the 1,527 run one year and 464 run two, so the date comes round quickly. Our Anjouan register census has the full distribution.

The regulator's enforcement pages are a separate check, and worth doing. On 22 September 2026 its "Revoked Licences" page listed two licences (Knifex Ltd, revoked 9 June 2026 for "Fraud"; Amor 25 Limited, revoked 10 July 2026 for "Illegal sublicensing") and its "Suspended Licences" page one (Mucho Gaming Limited, a B2B licence for rollblock.io, suspended 8 September 2026). None of the three numbers appears in the main register. So a licence the regulator has acted against is removed from the register rather than marked in it, and a number that returns nothing may be there for that reason. Check both pages before you decide a search came back empty by mistake.

Step 5: check the seal, then write down the date

Anjouan's seal policy says the seal on a licensed site "must link directly to the official licence verification page in the public registry", "must be removed immediately upon licence suspension, revocation, or expiry", and "must not be used on domains or platforms not authorized or covered by the licence". A seal that links somewhere else, or a seal on a domain the register doesn't list, is a mismatch with the regulator's own rules. It is also easy to copy, so treat it as a pointer to the register, never as proof.

Then record the date you checked. The register shows no history: the regulator's disclaimer says it "is updated periodically and may not reflect changes that have occurred since the most recent update". Licence ALSI-142311005-FI2 listed 22 domains on 21 August 2026 and 9 on 16 September; nothing on the page records that change. Your dated note is the only record of what the register said when you looked.

What the check can and can't settle

Done properly, an Anjouan licence check tells you three things: that a licence with that number exists, which company holds it, and whether the register ties your domain to it. It tells you whether the printed term has passed, if you read the date yourself.

It won't show regulatory action in the register itself: the published data has no status other than "valid", and the three licences on the regulator's revoked and suspended pages are simply absent from it. It can't tell you when a domain was added or dropped. And it says nothing about whether the casino will pay you: a licence is a fact about who is registered where, not a safety rating. Every Anjouan licence line on a BullsRank operator profile shows the register read date and, where the domain isn't on the list, says so.

Method

We read the register page in full on 21 September 2026 and parsed the table it embeds (1,527 rows; company, status, number, type, issue date, expiry date, domains). Counts of past-date entries use the entry's own printed expiry date against the read date. Domain counts split the domain column on commas and spaces and lowercase the result. The regulator's verification, status-definition, disclaimer, seal-policy and enforcement pages were read on 22 September 2026 and are quoted verbatim.
