The licence aims to support the company’s global regulatory and expansion strategy

Digitain has obtained an Isle of Man iGaming software supplier licence, marking an expansion within one of the industry's most established regulatory jurisdictions.

The licence, granted by the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission (GSC), positions Digitain's Isle of Man entity, Blue Whale Limited, to operate in the region.

Cavendish Trust and Digital Isle of Man supported the company throughout the licensing process.

Commenting on the development, Tim Johnston MHK, Minister for Enterprise, stated: “Digitain is a significant player in the global iGaming industry, and its decision to secure an Isle of Man licence is a strong vote of confidence in the Island’s regulatory credibility and
long-term stability. 

“It demonstrates that the Isle of Man continues to attract serious, enterprise-scale technology providers who value high standards and regulatory certainty. We remain committed to supporting a future-focused iGaming sector that delivers sustainable, long-term economic value for the Isle of Man.”

Digitain Director Aida Vardanyan added: “‘The Isle of Man represents one of the most credible and mature iGaming jurisdictions globally and working under the oversight of the Isle of Man Gambling Supervision Commission has reinforced our confidence in the Island as a long-term base for our regulated operations.

“The licensing process of Digitain’s Isle of Man entity, Blue Whale Limited, was rigorous, transparent and constructive, reflecting the depth of regulatory expertise and institutional stability that the Isle of Man is known for. 

“Cavendish Trust played a central role in this journey, providing exceptional guidance, regulatory insight and operational support throughout the process. Their experience, professionalism and deep understanding of both the jurisdiction and the global iGaming landscape were instrumental in achieving this milestone, and we look forward to continuing our partnership as we grow our regulated business from the Isle of Man.”

The licence announcement follows recent personnel developments at Digitain, including the appointment of Alex Jones as UK Sales Director in November 2025 and the company's acquisition of a Belgian gaming licence in September as part of its European expansion strategy.
