Where a licence’s country list is actually written

A six-item condition list with no country in it

The Anjouan Gaming Board publishes six standard licence conditions, read on 4 September 2026. They are: use only approved operational domains in connection with licensed activities; maintain accurate representation of licence status on all platforms; comply with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements; provide information to the Authority upon request; obtain Key Person Authorisation for individuals in designated roles; and notify the Authority of material changes to the licensed operation. None of the six names a country, a territory or a market.

The closest item to a market rule is the third, and it delegates the question to the operator. Comply with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements tells a licensee to stay within the legal rules wherever it is active. It does not say where that might be. For a reader who wants to know whether a brand is barred in a specific country, the six conditions are silent.

That silence is the finding, not a failure of the document. A fixed list of excluded territories may exist in an unpublished annex or in a separate contract, but no page can quote what it cannot read. The purpose of the comparison is to put the six conditions next to the circulating claim and let the reader see the distance between them.

The fixed market list that could not be sourced

A repeated industry claim names five markets: Germany, Austria, France, Spain and the Netherlands. The list appears on law-firm pages and licence-broker material, but this page did not find it in the regulator’s published licence conditions, its regulatory standards, its code of conduct for licensed operators, or its licensing FAQ. This page therefore does not print the list as a sourced fact.

The point is not to call the claim a fabrication. The list may exist in a document the authority has chosen not to publish, and a contractual annex could well carry it. The point is evidentiary. A comparison based on documents should not present a broker’s paraphrase as if it carried the same weight as the regulator’s own wording.

What can be checked is consistency. If a licence carried a fixed set of barred countries, every brand holding that same licence would face the same set, and published lists would show the same names. They do not. The readable Anjouan lists range from 8 countries to 224, and that range alone is enough to weaken a single-source claim.

Sixteen readable lists and the arithmetic in the country names

Out of the 100 brands in the library, 26 print an Anjouan licence number. Twenty-five of them name the Anjouan Gaming Board and one names the Government of the Autonomous Island of Anjouan directly. Only sixteen of the 26 publish a restricted-country list that a reader could check, and the shortest list has eight countries while the longest has 224.

Read those sixteen lists side by side. Germany appears in six, Austria in five, France in ten, Spain in eleven and the Netherlands in thirteen. If the fixed list of five countries were part of the licence, each of those figures would be sixteen. None is. The highest, thirteen for the Netherlands, still leaves three Anjouan-licensed brands without the Netherlands on their own published list.

These counts come from documents read on 26 August 2026 and are arithmetic on the published page counts. They do not say whether a particular player is welcome somewhere. They say only that the five-country claim cannot be found in the territory lists that Anjouan-licensed brands actually publish. That is a narrower and more useful statement.

What a shared registration shows

One registration number can sit behind many doors. ALSI-202508056-FI2 belongs to Novatrix SRL and appears on five brands: Oshi Casino, PlayAmo, Slotum, Winz.io and Bitkingz. In the register on 2 September 2026 that row showed status Valid from 25 August 2025 to 24 August 2027 and 67 domains attached. One company, one registration, five brand front doors.

Across the whole library, 68 brands publish a licence number and only 53 distinct numbers exist; nine numbers cover 24 brands between them. When one number covers four or five brands, the licence number on a page does not identify the operator behind the page. It identifies a registration, and the registration is not the same thing as the marketing that carries it.

ALSI-202509073-FI2 belongs to Metlait SRL. The register showed status Valid from 30 September 2025 to 29 September 2026 and 29 domains attached, including the domain of Wild Fortune. Wild Fortune prints no licence number of its own; it is one of the 29 domains under the Metlait registration. The domain field, not the brand name, is the unit the register tracks.

The third example is less clean. ALSI-132405042-FI3 belongs to Pixel Entertainment Limited and has one domain. On 2 September 2026 its register row printed status Valid beside an expiry date of 27 May 2026, and the two values contradict each other. The register is useful, but it is not a proofread document.

Sixty-two brands with no restricted list a reader could check

Most operators never print a list that answers the country question. Sixty-two brands out of 100 publish no readable restricted-country list at all, and 22 were unreachable when the library was read on 26 August 2026. For those brands the question of whether some country is named in the terms has no published answer.

No published condition attaching a country to a licence was found from the authorities represented in this library. No operator states that its regulator set its country list. No document explains why a country is absent from any given list. This page treats those absences as unread fields, not as open doors and not as advantages.

The readable lists offer only orientation. Across all 38 readable lists, whichever authority issued them, the United States appears in 32, the United Kingdom in 29, the Netherlands in 27, Spain in 24, France in 23, Germany in 12 and Austria in 6. Separate pages apply the same document method to the United States, to Britain and to Australia.

What the register confirms, and what its disclaimer narrows

The register publishes a domains field, which is more than most sources in this library offer. It shows 67 domains under one registration, 29 under another and one under a third. A reader can see which addresses a company has told the authority about, and that is a real piece of transparency.

The authority’s own disclaimer, read on 4 September 2026, narrows even that. Inclusion of a domain in the register confirms only that the domain has been notified to the Authority as associated with licensed activities. The register is updated periodically and may not reflect changes that have occurred since the most recent update. A row that looks current is therefore not proof that the domain is still covered.

The status column can contradict the rest of the row. Five brands publish a number whose register status reads Revoked: BC.Game, Bets.io, Betriot, Casinoly and Zet Casino, the last three sharing OGL/2023/103/0067. Those names still appear on brand pages, which means a registration that reads Revoked is not automatically a registration that has retired every website. A comparison based on documents has to say so.
