How we rate Anjouan casinos, check by check

What lifts a casino up our list?

A casino rises when its own terms make the money side easy: a stated payout time, limits that leave room for a real win, wagering rules in plain figures, a cashier that pays back the way you paid in, and support and self-set limits within reach. Before any of that, the licence it shows has to check out. Our team runs the same checks on every casino we review and then puts the twelve on our list in order, each with a score in its review. Here is how three of the checks read in the own terms of five of them:

Does the licence it shows check out?

We read the licence line in the footer, open the seal and look the casino up on the regulator’s register; the more of that a casino shows openly, the better it does on this point.

Wildies shows why the register matters. Its own pages print no licence line, yet wildies.com is one of the domains on its operator’s row in the Anjouan licence register, where the licence reads valid. Zizobet, Cosmobet and Velobet name the same operating company and the same Curaçao licence in their footers, and on Zizobet and Velobet the seal opens a certificate page. WinBeast is the one of the five without a licence line; its strengths sit in the payout and bonus checks below.

When you search the register yourself, read the status and the expiry date together, because a row can still say valid after its licence has run out. Our licence check guide walks through the whole check in a minute and shows where a complaint goes.

How fast does it pay, and how much?

Payouts count for more than the size of any bonus, so a stated processing time and limits that leave room for a bigger win lift a casino furthest. We take both from the casino’s terms, never from its banners.

The table above shows the headline limits; the detail behind them decides a lot. Zizobet pays a sum above a method’s limit in instalments and pays jackpots in full. WinBeast adds a daily ceiling of €5,000; its one brake sits at the start, where each withdrawal is capped at €1,000 while you have made three deposits or fewer. At Wildies the payment method’s own time follows the processing, and its FAQ gives lower limits than its terms, so a written question to support before the first withdrawal settles which apply to you.

Verification belongs to this check too. Zizobet and Velobet ask for proof of address no older than three months, both allow up to 48 hours to check documents once received, and WinBeast wants its documents within seven days. Our cashout times guide sets every casino on the list side by side.

How does it count wagering?

We look for the basis the wagering is counted on and for what happens to your own deposit, because clear rules there are worth more than a big headline.

WinBeast scores well on flexibility: you may refuse any bonus, or cancel it before wagering starts, without losing any of your own money; at Zizobet and Cosmobet, cancelling forfeits the bonus and its winnings. Cosmobet spells out the wagering, the maximum bet and the deadline in plain figures on its promotions page. Wildies’ general terms count wagering on the deposit plus the bonus at 30x and want the deposit played at least once, its FAQ says at least half, while a single offer can set its own basis in its own rules. Zizobet and Velobet want your deposit played through once, at a factor of 1.3, before a withdrawal and otherwise deduct 20% of the amount requested; Cosmobet asks for every deposit to be wagered in full, or a withdrawal may be cancelled. All three sisters cap winnings from a deposit bonus at ten times the deposit that triggered it.

Our guide on how to read bonus terms shows how to place the basis, the deadline and the win cap of any offer in a few minutes.

Which payments and coins does it take?

A full cashier lifts a casino, and one that pays back the way you paid in lifts it further.

Zizobet’s terms list eight coins, Monero and Dash among them, and on our list only Zizobet and its two sisters name those two. Cosmobet’s homepage shows Visa, Mastercard, Skrill, Neteller and Paysafecard beside Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, Dogecoin and Tron. WinBeast’s payment table says plainly which methods only take deposits, such as Revolut, Apple Pay and Paysafecard, and which also pay out, Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin and Tether among them. Wildies takes crypto and sends withdrawals back to the method you deposited with, crypto deposits being the exception.

Whose games fill the lobby?

We note the studios a casino names and what sits beside the slots; known studios, a full live casino and a sportsbook all count in its favour.

Wildies’ homepage names its studios, from Evolution and NetEnt to small houses such as 1spin4win, and it runs a sportsbook too. WinBeast’s homepage puts a wide lobby, live games included, on show, with Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Hacksaw and Big Time Gaming among the studios. Zizobet adds Play’n GO, BGaming, Betsoft and Wazdan to Pragmatic Play, plus a sportsbook. Cosmobet’s homepage features studios such as Habanero and Endorphina, and Velobet pairs its casino with a sportsbook that includes racing.

Who answers, and which limits can you set?

Support that answers at night and limits you can set yourself both count for a casino. Zizobet, Cosmobet and WinBeast run live chat around the clock with e-mail beside it, and Velobet answers by chat and e-mail day and night.

Wildies lets you set deposit, loss, wagering and session limits, start a cooling-off period yourself from your account and exclude yourself. WinBeast caps deposits, losses, stakes, spending in a single game and and session length. At Cosmobet and Velobet a self-exclusion runs from six months to five years, asked for by e-mail, and lasts six months if you name no period.

What does a score leave to the terms?

A score sums up these checks; the casino’s own terms still decide what happens on your account. It is our own mark, not a licence or an official seal, and it does not fix how long a withdrawal takes. The score and the place on the list are two separate decisions, so the order does not always follow the scores to the decimal.

Offers, timings and country lists change. When we spot a change, we correct the pages that quote it, and if one of our pages and a casino’s terms ever disagree, the terms apply.

Which of the casinos Anjouan has licensed share a company is set out on our page on Anjouan licensed casinos, and the overview of Anjouan online casinos puts them side by side, so the best Anjouan casinos for payout time and limits are quick to spot.
