Research maps more than 20 offshore online gambling licensing jurisdictions
Academic research reported that more than 20 jurisdictions offer online gaming licences, with newer regimes emerging alongside reforms in Curaçao, the Philippines and the Isle of Man. The study said Anjouan Licensing Services reported 825 active internet gaming licences by May 2025. Casino Guru data cited in the research showed unresolved complaints against Anjouan-licensed operators rose 90% in 2024 to 148 cases.
The findings raise due-diligence and player-protection considerations for operators and investors assessing offshore licensing jurisdictions.
