FAQLicensing
Which gaming license is the cheapest to get?

Vanuatu starts from around EUR 21.5K for year one, with Tuvalu from EUR 22.3K and Anjouan from EUR 23.5K close behind. Anjouan is usually the most cost-efficient overall once its 2 to 6 week issuance and 0% GGR tax are priced in.

Which gaming license is the fastest?

Anjouan, with typical issuance in 2 to 6 weeks from a complete application file. Tuvalu is close behind at 3 to 4 weeks.

Which license is best for a crypto casino?

Anjouan and Vanuatu are the most crypto-friendly. Vanuatu accepts Provably Fair certification, and Anjouan combines speed, low cost, and 0% GGR tax. Tuvalu and Saint Kitts and Nevis both permit crypto explicitly as well.

Do I need a separate license to run a crypto exchange?

Yes. A gaming license does not authorize virtual asset services. If you are running an exchange, a custodial wallet, or token issuance alongside the casino, that needs its own authorization. The Anjouan crypto license is the cheapest credible route and is issued by the same authority as the Anjouan gaming license.

Do you charge before the license is issued?

A fixed written quote is issued before engagement so the full cost is known upfront. Fees follow the agreed schedule in the quote.

Can Rakemont handle incorporation as well?

Yes. Company incorporation, documentation, application, and regulator correspondence are all handled under one engagement.

What if my application is rejected?

Applications are pre-screened before submission, and issues are resolved with the regulator during the process. Rejections are rare when the file is prepared properly.
