Winners Inc. wins Anjouan gaming license for Mevu prediction market terminal

Published Aug 19, 2026Updated 1h ago

Winners Inc. announced approval of an Anjouan gaming license for its Mevu prediction market platform on August 19. The license lets users in legal jurisdictions access Kalshi and Polymarket through a single interface. Mevu aggregates markets from both CFTC-regulated platforms and supports digital-asset and fiat settlement. Winners Inc. cited growth from major sporting events, retail adoption, and expanding financial and political contracts. The company is pursuing additional U.S. state licenses.

Why this matters?

Winners Inc. is building a white-label gateway, not a standalone exchange. Mevu resells access to Kalshi and Polymarket under its own license, which means its regulatory story depends entirely on platforms it does not control. The Anjouan license lets Mevu operate where that jurisdiction permits, but U.S. state licenses remain pending and unproven.

Any state gambling ruling against Kalshi or Polymarket would cut Mevu's product at the source, voiding its value proposition before its own compliance stack matters. Traders on Mevu face the same geographic contract-validity risk that already splits Kalshi's New York and Wisconsin markets. Winners Inc. must now clear state-by-state overlays faster than the underlying platforms lose them, or its aggregation model collapses into a licensing dead end.
