Not sure which licence fits?

Speed & budget

Fast, low-cost offshore permits such as Anjouan, Tobique and Vanuatu, live in weeks at 0–1% gaming tax.

Trust & banking

Curaçao and Malta for wider PSP and banking acceptance than most offshore licences when reputation matters.

Crypto & Web3

Crypto-friendly regimes that expressly permit crypto deposits, withdrawals and play.

Questions, answered.

Which gaming licence is fastest?

Tobique and Anjouan are the quickest: a clean file can be live in four to eight weeks at 0% gaming tax, with no local office required.

Which has the best banking acceptance?

Curaçao carries wider PSP and banking acceptance than most offshore licences, which is why established operators pay its higher fee and substance.

Do I need a local company?

It depends on the jurisdiction. Anjouan and Tobique need none; Vanuatu needs a locally registered applicant company; Curaçao (LOK), Malta and Gibraltar require real local substance.

Can I run a crypto casino under these?

Yes. Anjouan, Tobique and Kahnawake are common crypto-casino routes. Tobique's statute defines money to include digital assets; Anjouan is widely used by crypto casinos but publishes no crypto-specific rulebook, so the crypto AML programme is yours.

How do you charge?

We itemise everything: the official regulator fees separately from our service fee. You always see the government schedule, never a blended number.
