Licensing and Regulatory Information

Who Runs Felistra and Under Which Licence

Felistra is operated by Momentum Gaming Solutions Ltd under a licence issued by the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority, the gambling regulator of Anjouan in the Comoros. The casino opened in January 2026, which makes it a genuinely new operation rather than a rebrand of something older. Every figure on this page was checked in August 2026, and where we could not confirm something we say so rather than filling the gap.

What We Verified, and What We Could Not

Two independent casino databases list the same operator and the same regulator for Felistra, and their entries agree with each other. That is the basis for the table above. Beyond that, two things are worth stating plainly.

First, we searched the Anjouan public licence register for "felistra" and for "felistragaming" and found no matching record. That is not by itself evidence that the licence does not exist. The Anjouan register is indexed by licence number, holder company and root domain, and a casino operating on a domain that differs from the one filed with the regulator will not surface in a domain search. But it does mean we were unable to confirm the licence first-hand, and we would rather tell you that than let a claim stand on someone else's authority.

Second, the casino's own website has been sitting behind a password prompt since 12 August 2026. Every path we tried - the terms page, the promotions page, individual game pages that Google still has in its index - returns the same login gate. We do not know whether that is maintenance, a regional block or something else, and we are not going to guess. It does mean that nobody, including us, can currently read Felistra's terms and conditions on Felistra's own site.

What an Anjouan Licence Actually Gives You

Licence names get used as a badge of trust, and the differences between them matter far more than the word "licensed" suggests. Here is what the Anjouan regime does and does not put behind a player.

What it does

An Anjouan licence is a real authorisation: the holder is a registered company answering to a named regulator, not an anonymous website. Holders are expected to run games from certified suppliers with tested random number generators, to verify player identity before payout, and to operate anti-money-laundering procedures. Felistra sources its library from around twenty established studios - Pragmatic Play, NetEnt, Evolution, Play'n GO, Nolimit City, Hacksaw and others - which are the same certified suppliers that serve European-licensed operators. That is the strongest single argument for the games themselves being fair.

What it does not

An Anjouan licence carries no mandatory deposit limits, no compulsory reality checks or cooling-off periods, and no requirement to fund an independent dispute-resolution body. If a payout is refused and the operator will not move, there is no free adjudicator standing between you and the company in the way the Malta Gaming Authority or the UK Gambling Commission provide one. There is also no segregated-funds requirement of the European kind, which means player balances are not ring-fenced from company money by regulation. Self-exclusion is available at Felistra, but it is the only responsible-gambling tool the site publishes.

None of this makes an Anjouan casino illegitimate. It does mean the practical protection you carry into a dispute is thinner than at a Malta or UK licensee, and that difference should inform how much of your balance you leave on the site.

The Restriction List Is the Part Most People Miss

Felistra lists 267 restricted countries. That is not a handful of sanctioned jurisdictions - it is most of the world. The list includes Germany, Finland, France, Turkey, Spain, Italy, Poland, Portugal, Greece, the United Kingdom, Ireland, the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden, Norway, Denmark, Austria, Switzerland, the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Hungary, Romania, Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Malta, Cyprus, Canada, Australia, Japan, South Korea, Brazil, Mexico, Russia and Ukraine.

The practical consequence is worth stating directly, because this site is published in five languages: if you are reading the German, Finnish, French or Turkish version of this page, your country is on that list. Registering from a restricted country is grounds for the operator to void an account and its balance at the verification stage - which normally happens when you first try to withdraw, not when you deposit. Check the restriction list before you register, not after.

Where the Licence Shows Up in Day-to-Day Play

Regulatory weight is abstract until it reaches your account. At Felistra it shows up in four places.

• Withdrawal ceilings. A single withdrawal is capped at $100. The daily ceiling is $5,000 and the monthly one $50,000. The monthly figure is generous for a new casino; the per-transaction cap is restrictive enough to shape how you should use the site. A $2,000 win leaves as twenty requests.
• Processing time. Felistra states that withdrawals are handled within three banking days. Deposits credit instantly. The casino is too new for a body of player payout reports to exist, so that figure is the operator's own commitment rather than a measured average.
• One currency. Accounts are held in US dollars. Crypto is a payment rail, not a balance: a Bitcoin withdrawal is a dollar balance converted at the moment of payout, with the conversion risk sitting with you.
• Verification before the first payout. Standard for the industry, and the point at which a restricted-country registration is normally caught. Have your documents ready before you win, not after.

How to Check Any Casino Licence Yourself

The method below takes about five minutes and works on any operator, including this one.

Read the footer, then leave the site

A licence claim in a casino footer is a claim, not a verification. Note the licence number, the holder company and the regulator, then go to the regulator's own register and search there. Never follow the operator's own "verified" badge - on a lot of sites it links to an image rather than a record.

Search by company, not only by domain

Most registers store the root domain a licence was filed under. Operators that rotate numbered mirror domains will therefore fail a domain search while being perfectly registered under the company name. If a domain search comes back empty, search the company - and if both come back empty, that is a finding worth weighing rather than ignoring.

Match the entry against the site

The register entry names a holder, a licence type and a validity period. All three should match what the footer claims. An expired date, a different company, or a licence type that does not cover casino games are each reasons to stop.

Check what the regime actually requires

Malta, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Denmark and Spain impose deposit limits, advertising codes and independent dispute bodies. Curacao rebuilt its regime in 2023 and now licenses operators directly rather than through master-licence resellers. Anjouan and comparable offshore regimes impose materially less. Knowing which one you are dealing with tells you what recourse you have before you need it.

Red Flags That Are Worth Acting On

Some warning signs are decisive on their own.

• A licence number that returns nothing in the regulator's register when searched by both domain and company name.
• A regulator named in the footer that has no public register at all.
• Terms and conditions that cannot be read before registration.
• Advertised bonuses whose wagering terms are not published anywhere on the site.
• A withdrawal limit disclosed only after a first withdrawal request rather than in the terms.
• Support that will not answer a direct question about limits or licensing in writing.

Frequently Asked Questions

These are the licensing questions we get asked most often about Felistra specifically, answered with what we could establish in August 2026.

Who holds the Felistra licence?

Momentum Gaming Solutions Ltd, under the Anjouan Offshore Finance Authority in the Comoros. Two independent casino databases record the same holder and the same regulator.

Is Felistra licensed in Malta or the United Kingdom?

No. It holds neither an MGA nor a UKGC licence, and the United Kingdom appears on its list of restricted countries. Any page describing Felistra as UK-licensed is wrong.

Did you find Felistra in the Anjouan register?

No. Searches for "felistra" and "felistragaming" returned no matching record. The register is indexed by licence number, holder company and root domain, so an operator using a domain other than the one filed will not appear in a domain search - but the honest summary is that we could not verify the licence ourselves.

Does an Anjouan licence protect my deposit?

Not in the way a European licence does. There is no segregated-funds requirement, no mandatory deposit limit and no independent dispute body funded by the regime. Your practical protection is the operator's own terms and its willingness to honour them.

Can I play at Felistra from Germany, Finland, France or Turkey?

No. All four appear on the casino's list of 267 restricted countries, alongside most of Europe, Canada, Australia and Japan. Registering from a restricted country risks the account and its balance being voided at verification.

Why is the Felistra website asking me for a password?

Since 12 August 2026 the operator's own domain has returned a password prompt on every path, including pages that remain in Google's index. We do not know the reason and will not speculate. It does mean the casino's terms cannot currently be read at source.

Our Position

Felistra is a new casino on a light-touch licence, with a large game library from reputable studios, a genuinely low $1 entry point, no bonuses at all, and a $100 cap on a single withdrawal. Whether that adds up to a casino worth your time depends entirely on how you play: at small stakes the low minimums and the absence of wagering requirements are real advantages, and at larger stakes the per-transaction cap and the thin regulatory recourse are real problems. We would rather set both sides in front of you than score the site out of ten.
