African island targets offshore gambling group
Anjouan, a small Indian Ocean island, has become a hub for underground online gambling, issuing licenses to rogue casinos, many operating illegally and targeting vulnerable bettors. These licenses are often used to legitimize unregulated gambling platforms that accept bets from UK customers and often refuse payouts, with some sites actively promoting their unlicensed status to evade regulations. The UK government and authorities in the Comoros are investigating the misuse of the island’s name and the illegal activities linked to these offshore licenses, while industry experts note that companies involved may seek legitimacy through low-cost licenses to facilitate more covert gambling operations.
