Regulated Setup: Direct CGA licensing under the current LOK framework, typically 4–6 months from complete application (longer than the legacy sub-license system it replaced).

5. Cyprus Betting License

Taxation: 10% on net revenue + 3% contribution to social funds.

Best For: Sports betting operators targeting the EU market with a reputable license.
6. Mwali (Moheli) Betting License
Distinct Island Option: Mwali (Moheli): Regulated by the Mwali International Services Authority (MISA), this is a genuinely separate licensing regime from Anjouan. Setup costs run approximately €17,500–€28,000 (typically bundling IBC incorporation with the first-year licence fee), with annual renewal around €15,000–€16,500. Licensed operators pay 0% tax on GGR and income. Applications are typically processed within 1–3 weeks, with a legal maximum allowance of up to 3 months. Unlike Anjouan, Mwali requires local incorporation — an IBC must be registered on the island, along with an appointed compliance officer.
Flexible Compliance: Streamlined application process with minimal capital requirements and fast approval (4–6 weeks).
Tax Efficiency: No corporate tax or gaming-specific tax under the license structure.
Crypto-Friendly: Suitable for operators using cryptocurrencies and blockchain-based platforms.
Best For: Startups and international operators seeking a cost-effective, fast-track license with global reach.
Gambling is prohibited under the Comorian Penal Code at the national/federal level. Licensing in Mwali and other Comoros islands is administered by island-level regulatory bodies not recognised by the Union of the Comoros’ federal government. These licences are nonetheless in widespread commercial use and generally accepted by many payment processors and software providers, but they carry a materially different legal/recognition profile than licences issued by an internationally recognised national regulator. Mwali-licensed operators also report more limited acceptance among major software providers and payment processors compared to Anjouan.
7. Latvia Gaming License
Strict EU Compliance: Regulated by the Lotteries and Gambling Supervisory Inspection, ensuring adherence to stringent European standards.
Capital Requirement: Minimum paid-up share capital of €1,400,000, reflecting strong financial stability.
Local Presence Mandatory: Requires incorporation of a Latvian AS (joint-stock company, minimum €1,400,000 share capital), a local director, AML officer and certified software
Taxation: 15% gambling tax on interactive/online gaming revenue (separate from standard 0%/20% Latvian corporate tax).
Timeframe: Approximately 9–11 months for full licensing.
Best For: Large-scale operators seeking a highly reputable EU license and long-term market positioning.
