What a player risks
This jurisdiction licenses operators that mainly serve players in other markets. Its licence does not make play legal in the player's own country and does not replace a local licence where one is required. A player using such a site from a market where it is not licensed has no protection or dispute resolution from that market's regulator, and deposits, payments or winnings may be blocked or confiscated. Depending on the law of the player's own country, fines or prosecution may apply. The register records for Anjouan (Union of the Comoros): Not applicable as a player market (island with a small population); the Anjouan licence confers no right of lawful access in countries that require a local licence or prohibit online gambling (e.g. United Kingdom, Netherlands, Brazil, India, Australia): legality for the player depends on the law of their country of residence.
