Tikalcasino operates under Anjouan licence ALSI-202511040-FI2, issued 30 November 2025 to Costa Rican entity 3-102-937015 Limitada and valid through 29 November 20261 . Two distinguishing features set this operator apart from most others in today’s batch: the licensee uses the Limitada corporate form rather than the more common SRL, and the licence is classified as B2B + B2C rather than the standard B2C-only. The licensee operates two domains: tikalcasino.com (the consumer-facing brand) and energycasino.io (which returned a 500 error from our test location at time of writing). This is a profile, not a tested review.

The B2B + B2C licence designation

Most operators in the Anjouan register hold pure B2C licences, they sell directly to players. Tikalcasino’s licence is dual-class B2B + B2C, which means the licensee is also authorised to provide gaming services to other operators (game-content aggregation, white-label infrastructure, payment-rail wrapping, etc.). Practically this means:

For consumer-side players, B2B + B2C does not change the protections they have under the licence, the operator is still bound by the same player-fund-segregation and complaint-handling requirements when acting B2C. It does suggest the operator group is more infrastructurally invested than a pure single-brand B2C licensee, which is mildly positive in the analytical-score sense.

The Limitada corporate form

Costa Rican law allows several limited-liability vehicles. The most common in the Anjouan register is SRL (Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada); a smaller number of operators use Limitada (a related but slightly different form, often used for sole-owner or family-held companies). The practical difference for player purposes is minimal, both are limited-liability vehicles holding the licence and operating contracts, but the Limitada designation is worth noting because it varies the corporate structure pattern slightly from the SRL-dominant register.

What we can verify

The Tikalcasino licence is current and dual-class. The brand uses Mayan iconography (Tikal as the central reference) and likely targets Latin American and Spanish-speaking players, though we did not load enough of the public landing to verify the UI’s language defaults. The energycasino.io sister property’s 500 response means we cannot characterise its current state.

The licensee footprint and what it means

A B2B + B2C licensee with two listed domains is a different structural shape from the single-brand-single-SRL pattern. It is also different from the multi-brand SRL pattern (6-8 brand skins under one entity, white-label-aggregator style). It sits in a middle category that’s harder to evaluate without more data: the operator could be a legitimate infrastructure provider with one consumer brand, or could be in transition between configurations.

What the Anjouan licence actually covers

Tikalcasino is licensed by the Anjouan Gaming Authority, the regulatory body established on the autonomous island of Anjouan (one of the three islands that make up the Union of the Comoros in the Indian Ocean). Anjouan's modern iGaming licensing framework was relaunched in 2023–2024 by Anjouan Licensing Services Inc., the exclusive licence administrator, and has been adopted at scale since by operators that previously sat under Curaçao's old master-licence system. The operator's licence number is ALSI-202511040-FI2, listed as valid on the official Anjouan licence register.

What the licence does

  • Operator vetting at issue. The framework requires KYC on beneficial owners and directors, clean criminal-record checks, source-of-funds documentation, a written business plan, and AML/KYC/responsible-gaming policies before the licence is issued.
  • Game-software certification. Operators must use certified RNG technology, with provider certificates submitted as part of the licensing pack.
  • Segregated player funds. Operators must hold player balances in accounts separate from operating funds. This is the single most consequential player-protection clause in the framework.
  • Formal complaint process. Operators must publish a complaint-handling procedure and respond to player disputes within the timeframes defined by the regulator.
  • Public register and seal verification. Every licensed operator appears on the official register with licence number, issue and expiry dates, status, and authorised domains. Operators may display a seal whose ID resolves to the register entry in real time.

What the licence does not do

  • No binding third-party adjudication. Anjouan provides a formal complaint process between player and operator, but it does not offer the binding ADR (alternative dispute resolution) tier that regulators like the UKGC or MGA mandate. If the operator refuses to pay, the regulator can revoke the licence — but does not order the operator to pay the player.
  • No deposit caps or central self-exclusion. Unlike MGA, UKGC, KSA, or Sweden's Spelpaus, Anjouan does not run a cross-operator self-exclusion register or impose mandatory deposit limits. Self-exclusion is a per-operator setting; players who want cross-operator protection have to rely on GamStop / Cruks / Spelpaus where applicable.
  • Disputes from excluded territories are not mediated. The Anjouan Gaming Board explicitly excludes mediation for players based in jurisdictions the operator was supposed to block. If you played from a restricted country, the regulator will decline the case.
  • No public dispute decisions database. There is no published archive of operator complaints and rulings comparable to the UKGC's enforcement-action page or the MGA's player-complaint summaries. Track-record information has to be reconstructed from third-party sources (Trustpilot, AskGamblers, casino-forum threads).
  • Limited recourse outside the licence. Anjouan's jurisdiction is the autonomous island, not the Comorian Union. Comorian union-level law treats most gambling as prohibited, which creates a structural mismatch: the licence is real and the regulator acts, but it operates entirely within the island's autonomy carve-out.

How this compares to other offshore licences

Anjouan sits in the same operational tier as the new Curaçao LOK framework (issued directly by the CGB since 2024, replacing the old master/sub-licence system) and Tobique (Canadian First Nation regulator that took over from Kahnawake for many crypto operators). All three offer real but light-touch licensing: operator vetting at issue, mandated segregated funds, formal complaint handling, no binding third-party arbitration, and minimal ongoing player-protection infrastructure compared to MGA, UKGC, or KSA.

In practical terms: an Anjouan licence means the operator has been vetted by a regulator that exists, will respond, and can revoke. It does not mean a player will be made whole by the regulator if the operator decides not to pay. Players who want that should play at UKGC, MGA, or comparable-tier operators, accepting the friction (KYC at every turn, withdrawal holds, deposit limits) that comes with that protection.

How Tikalcasino compares to peers

Within today’s batch, Tikalcasino is the only B2B + B2C licensee. The closest structural comparison is operators that hold multiple-brand licences (like 3-102-937046 SRL’s six-brand stable), though Tikalcasino’s dual domain count is much lower and its B2B classification makes the structural rationale clearer than the unexplained brand proliferation seen elsewhere. The Mayan theming and likely Latin-American targeting differentiate it from generic-name peers (Casindi, Papawins).

Our analytical position

Tikalcasino is a dual-class (B2B + B2C) Anjouan-licensed operator with a Mayan-themed brand, a Costa Rican Limitada licensee, and two listed domains (one of which returned a server error at our test time). The B2B classification suggests more infrastructural commitment than a pure single-brand B2C licensee, which we read as mildly positive. The energycasino.io sister status is unclear and warrants a question mark; prospective players using either domain should check that property’s current status directly before depositing.

Score: 6.7 / 10, B2B+B2C structure (positive structural signal), Mayan-theme geographic specificity (positive), energycasino.io sister status unclear (neutral negative), recent licence issue (neutral).

Frequently asked questions

Is Tikalcasino licensed?

Yes. Anjouan eGaming Authority licence ALSI-202511040-FI2, valid through 29 November 2026, held by Costa Rican entity 3-102-937015 Limitada. The licence is dual-class (B2B + B2C).

What does the B2B + B2C licence mean for me as a player?

The dual classification means the operator is authorised to both run a consumer brand (B2C) and supply gaming services to other operators (B2B). For consumer-side players this does not change the operator's obligations under the licence, segregated player funds, formal complaint handling, RNG certification, but it does signal a slightly more infrastructure-invested operator group.

What is the status of energycasino.io?

It is listed on the same Anjouan licence as Tikalcasino. At our test time the domain returned HTTP 500, suggesting either a server issue, maintenance, or that the sister property is not actively operating. Check the domain status directly before depositing.

What is the difference between SRL and Limitada in Costa Rica?

Both are limited-liability corporate vehicles. SRL (Sociedad de Responsabilidad Limitada) is more common; Limitada is a related form often used for sole-owner or family-held companies. Both provide limited liability for the operator's beneficial owners.

When this might not apply to you

Operator T&Cs may exclude players from specific jurisdictions; check the footer before depositing. If you signed up at energycasino.io rather than tikalcasino.com, the operating status of that sister domain at the time you read this may differ from what we observed.
