No licence types, issuing authority, or application pathway exist for gambling in Comoros. The licensing-pathway-exists field for the jurisdiction resolves to false, reflecting the absence of any statutory mechanism by which an operator could apply for, hold, or renew a gambling licence. The controlling instrument is the Penal Code itself (Law No. 20-038/AU of 29 December 2020, article 201 et seq.), which prohibits casinos and gambling establishments outright and separately prohibits lotteries and all games of chance. No agrement — the licence instrument used for financial activity in Comoros — has ever been issued for the offshore exercise of banking, finance-company or financial-establishment activity tied to any Comorian island, a disclaimer that reaches beyond banking into the claimant gaming-licensing space addressed by the Central Bank's December 2025 communique. There is accordingly no B2B or B2C licensing requirement, renewal process, or suspension or revocation mechanism distinct from general criminal enforcement.
