FortuneJack is a crypto casino and sportsbook that has traded under the same name since 2014, and since late 2024 it has been run by a Costa Rican company under a licence from Anjouan in the Comoros. That licence is on the Anjouan register, but Anjouan's right to license gambling at all is disputed by the Comoros government, and the brand sits on a forum warning list over a token it sold to its own customers.

It offers slots, live dealer tables, crash and dice style games and a sportsbook in one account. We list it in our crypto casino hub under Bitcoin casinos, Ethereum casinos, USDT and stablecoin casinos, Solana casinos, altcoin casinos, crypto slots casinos, crypto live dealer casinos, crypto sportsbooks and provably fair and crash casinos. The facts below are as of late October 2026.

• Launched: 2014, per AskGamblers and CryptoSlate.
• Operator: PlayWave SRL, Costa Rica. Earlier, Nexus Group Enterprises N.V. of Curaçao.
• Licence: Anjouan, ALSI-202411021-FI1, listed as valid on the Anjouan register, issued 4 November 2024 and expiring 3 November 2026. Previously a Curaçao sub-licence, 8048/JAZ2016-026.
• Coins: BTC, USDT, ETH, TRX, LTC, SOL, DOGE, DASH, USDC, BNB and POL, per CryptoSlate.
• KYC: email verification to claim bonuses; ID checks can follow on withdrawals or flagged accounts.
• Games: 3,000 to 5,400+ titles depending on the count, 260+ live tables, crash and dice games, a sportsbook.
• UK and US: both on its restricted list.
• Our rating: Mixed.

A 2014 brand with a licence on the Anjouan register, fast crypto payouts and a strong AskGamblers record, set against a disputed Anjouan regime, a poor Trustpilot score and an unresolved LCB warning over JackToken.

We rate crypto casinos from public sources only: the licence and what it covers, who owns it, what players report about withdrawals and complaints, how clear its terms are and how long it has been trading. Last reviewed 27 October 2026. How we rate crypto casinos.

For its first decade FortuneJack was a Curaçao brand. CryptoSlate's company profile says it was run by Nexus Group Enterprises N.V. (Curaçao registration 139781) as a sub-licensee of Antillephone N.V. under licence 8048/JAZ2016-026, and that Antillephone's validator still showed that licence as valid in December 2023.

In 2024 the brand moved to PlayWave SRL, a Costa Rican company, and to an Anjouan licence. Sources quote two different company numbers for PlayWave: CryptoSlate gives CE-2024-206981, AskGamblers gives 3-102-914970. Costa Rica is where the company is registered; the gambling licence itself comes from Anjouan, not from Costa Rica.

The move matters because it is a step away from the regulator most crypto casinos use. Curaçao replaced its old master-licence system with direct licences from the Curaçao Gaming Authority in 2023 and 2024, and Nexus Group Enterprises N.V. does not appear on the CGA's online gaming register of 20 October 2026; the brand now relies on Anjouan instead. FortuneJack does run an official X account, @FortuneJackCOM, named on CryptoSlate's profile.

FortuneJack is slots-first with a full sportsbook bolted on. Game counts differ by source: CryptoSlate lists 5,414+ titles, while Gambling.com counts 3,000+ casino games, including 2,700+ slots and 260+ live casino tables. The category list on CryptoSlate covers slots, blackjack, roulette, baccarat, crash, plinko, keno, mines, dice, tower and video poker, and it names Aviator among the crash games.

Dice, mines and tower games are in the lobby. We could not open a FortuneJack page that explains how its provably fair checks work, so treat any "provably fair" claim as the casino's own description rather than something we have seen verified.

Pragmatic Play is among the studios LCB lists for the casino; it makes slots such as Sweet Bonanza Super Scatter and Big Bass Reel Repeat, though the exact lobby depends on the player's country.

The sportsbook shares one account and wallet with the casino, as Gambling.com describes it, and CryptoSlate calls FortuneJack a casino and sportsbook brand. Sports bets feature in the complaints: in one AskGamblers case a player said four winning bets worth 3,500 USDT were voided, and FortuneJack said the odds provider had cancelled them.

Crypto is where FortuneJack is fastest. AskGamblers lists crypto and e-wallet withdrawals at 0 to 1 hours, card payments at 1 to 5 days and verification and pending times of up to 12 hours each, and Gambling.com says crypto withdrawals "can settle in minutes".

The limits are set out inconsistently. AskGamblers shows EUR 5,000 per transaction in its listing, while its terms summary gives a EUR 1,000 per transaction maximum for fiat, no maximum for crypto and a EUR 300,000 maximum win excluding jackpots. LCB lists a EUR 50 minimum withdrawal, EUR 5,000 per transaction, the right to split payouts into instalments, and a 1% fee its reviewer saw on a USD 50 withdrawal.

Sign-up is light, KYC is not. Gambling.com says email verification is required before a bonus can be claimed, and LCB says verification takes up to 24 hours once started. Our starting notes said ID is asked for above about USD 2,500; we could not confirm a fixed threshold from any page we opened. What the complaint record does show is accounts closed after KYC: AskGamblers has cases of an account closed after a failed check and of USD 725 (the player said USD 1,825) confiscated after FortuneJack cited a link to a previously blocked account, both marked resolved.

Send only coins and networks the cashier lists. Crypto transfers cannot be reversed, and one AskGamblers complaint, a 910 BUSD deposit that never arrived, was rejected.

The licence is on Anjouan's own register. The Anjouan licence register lists PlayWave SRL as "valid" under ALSI-202411021-FI1, a B2C licence issued on 4 November 2024 and expiring on 3 November 2026, covering fortunejack.com and playwave.club. Whether it is renewed on time is something our weekly news will follow.

What an Anjouan licence is worth is a live question. On 19 October 2026 The Guardian reported, and Gambling.com followed on 21 October, that the Comoros government had asked the UK for help against the offshore licensing regime trading under the Anjouan name. The Central Bank of the Comoros calls the regime illegal and says it is preparing judicial action; the Anjouan side says its licences have never claimed to authorise gambling in every country. No finding has been made against FortuneJack or PlayWave, but a player dispute with an Anjouan licensee has very few routes beyond the casino itself.

FortuneJack's replies on Trustpilot say its games come from licensed third-party providers and are random. We found no independent audit of the casino, no proof of reserves, no hack and no regulator action against the brand or its operators.

The current welcome offer is paid in free spins rather than bonus cash. Gambling.com describes up to 5,000 free spins across the first four deposits, a minimum qualifying deposit of 0.002 BTC, 10 times wagering on the deposit through slots or Aviator, 30 times on spin winnings, a USD 10 maximum bet while a bonus is active, winnings capped at five times the bonus and a seven-day expiry.

The loyalty scheme, Jack's Loyalty Club, has 20 levels from Bronze to Legend, with monthly cashback of 2% to 15% of the previous month's net losses, daily rakeback and weekly reloads at 35 times wagering from Silver 1, per Gambling.com.

Bonuses are also the most common theme of recent Trustpilot complaints: free spins reported as not credited, terms described as restrictive and, in an October 2026 review, bonuses called "practically impossible to get". On AskGamblers a dispute over a changed 100% cashback offer ended with a EUR 50 goodwill payment and a 25% return, which the player disputed. Read the terms before opting in.

FortuneJack's record depends on where you look. AskGamblers gives it a CasinoRank of 8.8 and a player rating of 9.4 out of 10 from 820 reviews, and lists 84 complaints, though its own figures disagree on how many were resolved (71 of 73 in one block, 71 of 84 in another, "only 2" unresolved in the text). Trustpilot shows a TrustScore of 1.8 out of 5 from 175 reviews, 62% of them one-star, with the casino replying to 68% of negative reviews and usually taking more than a month (late October 2026).

• JackToken, October 2025 to now: LCB put FortuneJack on its Warning List in October 2025 after it did not answer repeated questions about JackToken ($JACK), a token promoted to its customers by airdrop and presale. Buyers allege it was marketed at USD 0.01 to 0.04 but launched on Solana at about USD 0.0005, an alleged loss of 95% to 99%, after an unannounced move from BNB Chain, with staking and other promised features never delivered. In a statement dated 25 June 2026, which LCB published on 13 July 2026, JackToken rejected the "scam" label, said the launch followed its whitepaper and disclaimers, that the price was a market outcome and that weak demand stalled development. No refund was mentioned and the warning stands. These are allegations; no regulator or court has ruled on them.
• Withdrawals: AskGamblers cases include USD 8,000 delayed for more than 40 hours and USD 450 on hold, both resolved, and a EUR 70 Neteller withdrawal still open at the time we read it.
• Account closures: a USD 152 closure that FortuneJack defended by citing terms allowing closure without a stated reason; on Trustpilot, a November 2025 reviewer alleges a balance was changed after KYC, and a December 2025 reviewer claims a large win was not paid. FortuneJack replied that it does "not remove winnings or manipulate balances".
• Restricted countries: an August 2026 Trustpilot reviewer says Dutch players could register although the Netherlands is on the restricted list, and several LCB users say their US registrations were blocked although the site appeared to allow US sign-ups.

LCB's own players rate it 2.5 out of 5 from 173 votes, although the same site's members gave it a Members Choice award in 2023. We found no hack, no licence suspension and no regulator or court finding against FortuneJack.

The good

• Trading under the same name since 2014.
• A licence listed as valid on the Anjouan register.
• Fast crypto withdrawals, rated 0 to 1 hours by AskGamblers, and no cap on crypto withdrawals per its terms summary.
• A 9.4 player rating from 820 AskGamblers reviews, with most of its 84 complaints resolved.
• Casino, live tables and a sportsbook in one crypto wallet.

The bad

• An Anjouan licence whose legitimacy the Comoros government disputes, expiring on 3 November 2026.
• An LCB warning, still in place, over the JackToken presale and its 95% to 99% alleged losses.
• A 1.8 Trustpilot score, slow replies there and repeated reports of bonus disputes and accounts closed after KYC.
• Withdrawal limits and fees described differently on every review site.
• Operator and company numbers that changed in 2024 and do not match across sources.

Our verdict. FortuneJack is a long-running brand with a licence on its regulator's register, fast crypto payouts and a strong AskGamblers record. But its 2024 switch from Curaçao to Anjouan swapped a mainstream offshore licence for one under open dispute, its Trustpilot record is poor, and the JackToken episode, which it has answered but not resolved, sits outside any gambling licence's protection. There is no regulator, court or hack finding against it, so this is a mixed rating, not a poor one, but it is a brand where players should keep balances small and stay away from anything token-related.

FortuneJack does not accept UK players: the United Kingdom is on the restricted list CryptoSlate publishes, AskGamblers' terms summary names the UK and US as prohibited, and LCB says UK players are not accepted. It holds no UK Gambling Commission licence, and a casino needs one to offer gambling to people in Great Britain. Almost no crypto casino holds one.

Anyone playing on an offshore crypto casino is outside GAMSTOP and UKGC protections, and The Guardian's October 2026 reporting found Anjouan licensees being promoted to UK players as "not on GamStop". Crypto balances rise and fall with the market, blockchain transfers cannot be reversed, winnings are often paid in the coin you deposited, and bonuses carry wagering rules.

Is FortuneJack legit?

FortuneJack is a real casino that has traded since 2014, and its operator, PlayWave SRL, is listed as valid on the Anjouan licence register until 3 November 2026. It scores well with AskGamblers players but only 1.8 on Trustpilot, and LCB has kept it on a warning list since October 2025 over its JackToken project. No regulator or court has ruled against it.

Who owns FortuneJack?

Since 2024 FortuneJack has been operated by PlayWave SRL, a company registered in Costa Rica and licensed in Anjouan. Before that it was run by Nexus Group Enterprises N.V. of Curaçao under an Antillephone sub-licence. Review sites quote two different PlayWave company numbers, CE-2024-206981 and 3-102-914970, and no individual owners are named in public sources.

How fast are FortuneJack withdrawals?

AskGamblers lists crypto and e-wallet withdrawals at 0 to 1 hours and card payments at 1 to 5 days, with verification taking up to 12 hours. Reported limits differ by source, from EUR 1,000 per fiat transaction to EUR 5,000, and LCB says FortuneJack can split large payouts into instalments. Delays of 40 hours or more appear in its complaint record.

What happened with FortuneJack and JackToken?

JackToken was a crypto token sold to FortuneJack customers through an airdrop and presale. Buyers allege it launched far below its marketed price after a move from BNB Chain to Solana. LCB put FortuneJack on its Warning List in October 2025; a June 2026 statement rejected scam claims and blamed market demand. These are allegations, with no regulator finding.

Is an Anjouan casino licence safe?

An Anjouan licence is an offshore licence with very limited player protection. In October 2026 the Comoros government said the Anjouan licensing regime is illegal and asked the UK for help, while the Anjouan side says its licences never claimed global authority. FortuneJack's licence is listed as valid, but disputes with Anjouan licensees have few outside routes.

Can UK players use FortuneJack?

No. The United Kingdom is on FortuneJack's restricted list, according to CryptoSlate, AskGamblers and LCB. FortuneJack holds no UK Gambling Commission licence, so it cannot legally offer gambling to people in Great Britain, and anyone playing on an offshore site like this is outside GAMSTOP and UKGC protections.
