Company Incorporation
- The operator must establish a legal entity. It is allowed to register either in Kahnawake or elsewhere – for example, in Canada, the UK, Malta, Curaçao, and other jurisdictions. The main requirement is a transparent ownership structure.
- KGC requires that the operator’s gaming system be hosted in Kahnawake, in a data center of a licensed hosting provider (e.g., Mohawk Internet Technologies). This is a mandatory condition for obtaining a license.
- The operator must implement a responsible gaming policy, KYC/AML procedures, data protection systems, and client funds safeguards. Regular internal audits are mandatory.
- The application review period is 8 to 14 weeks, provided a complete set of documents and technical conditions are met.
- The license is issued for 1 year and is subject to annual renewal. KGC regularly monitors compliance and may suspend the license in case of violations.

Feedback from our clients on Google
I needed help with an Anjouan license for a new online casino project. A colleague referred me to Finextwin, and I’m glad they did. Everything was organized quickly, I received a clear list of documents, and they handled all communication with the regulator. We had the license in just 3 weeks. Great support throughout.
I would like to thank the Finextwin team for their professionalism. We planned to get a Maltese license, but after consulting with specialists, we realized that the requirements were too high for us and we would not be able to meet them. We decided to go the easy way and get a license in Anjouan. Everything went much..
Huge thanks to the Finextwin team. We need an Anjouan license urgently as our platform was nearly ready to launch. They jumped in right away - handled everything from document collection to direct communication with the regulator. In 5 weeks,we were approved. Transparent, fast and highly professional. Fully recommend.
