Jackson.io has just obtained the Anjouan iGaming licence, becoming the first gaming protocol licensed on the Sui blockchain. This development elevates regulatory compliance in decentralised gamingâand signals a shift in legal expectations for Web3 operators.

đĄ Jackson.io secured an iGaming licence from the government of Anjouan (Union of Comoros), targeting online gaming regulation. The licence mandates game fairness, fund security, anti-money laundering measures and player protection.
đź Unlike more restrictive European or Asian regimes, the Anjouan framework offers a balanced yet enforceable regulatory structure. It allows Jackson.io to marry blockchain transparency with legal safeguards, ensuring compliant operations across its gaming ecosystem.
đ¤ Jackson.ioâs Sportsbook has launched under this licence. All betting is conducted on-chain via smart contractsâsubject to independent audit and held to international gaming standards.
đ In regulatory comparison: jurisdictions requiring RNG audits or segregation of player funds (such as the UKâs Gambling Commission or Malta Gaming Authority) also stress these same safeguards. Anjouanâs licensing echoes those fundamental principles, but offers faster approval and flexibility for emerging Web3 models.
đ For example, RNG testing and game logic validationârequirements under the Anjouan licenceâreflect the due diligence expected by mature regulators, yet adapted to a decentralised environment. Anjouan positions itself as a gateway for nascent blockchain protocols seeking legal recognition without excessive friction.
This move by Jackson.io underscores that compliant, transparent decentralised gaming is both feasible and scalable. It foreshadows licensing trends for Web3 platforms that prioritise auditability and legal rigour. At NUR Legal, we understand the complexity of navigating emerging regulatory frameworksâfrom traditional jurisdictions to digital-first ones like Anjouan. We invite stakeholders in gaming, blockchain and fintech to reach out for strategic legal support.
