About the project
A clearer way to check iGaming market evidence
iGaming Atlas is a regulator-first research project that links markets, operators, legal entities, products and source records by jurisdiction.
Last updated 9 September 2026
Our purpose
iGaming Atlas is designed for readers who need to investigate whether a named operator, entity, domain or product appears in the relevant official record. Each finding is limited to its jurisdiction, scope and review date; it is not a worldwide legal conclusion.
Atlas at a glance
These figures describe the current Atlas data snapshot, not the size of the global gambling market. Export rows combine 634 operator-market relationships with 194 separately imported Brazil register rows.
- market profiles
- 74
- operator profiles
- 291
- current export rows
- 828
- with direct or batch source provenance
- 100%
Latest operator-profile relationship verification date in this snapshot: 16 September 2026. Each row retains its own verification date.
How a status is built
Published findings are structured around three checks. The cited official record may support a positive finding, a negative register result or an unresolved research state.
- 1Define the scopeIdentify the jurisdiction, product, entity or brand and, where relevant, the consumer domain.
- 2Compare the identityCompare the licence holder, brand, domain and authorised activity without filling evidence gaps by assumption.
- 3Record the provenanceStore the official source or documented register batch, check date and any available expiry or scope limitation.
Our methodology, editorial policy and data-quality dashboard describe this process in more detail.
What the Atlas does and does not say
- A market-model label summarises the cited framework for the jurisdiction; product rows provide the detailed scope.
- An operator-status finding is limited to the named jurisdiction, entity or brand, product and, where recorded, domain.
- “Not listed” is a dated register-search result, not automatically an allegation of illegal activity.
- “Under review” identifies an evidence gap that does not support a firmer conclusion.
- Enforcement records preserve the procedural stage stated by the source, including allegations, interim measures and final outcomes.
- iGaming Atlas provides editorial research, not legal advice, regulatory approval or a guarantee of account availability.
Research desk
The iGaming Atlas Research Desk maintains jurisdiction profiles, operator-market relationships, official-source checks, downloadable research releases and the review queue. It is an institutional publishing identity, not a claim about a particular headcount or professional qualification.
Research output is scoped to the named market, entity or brand, product, source and review date. The current public evidence can be inspected through the data catalogue and challenged through the corrections process.
Editorial responsibility
Guides and Watch reports are published under the institutional bylines iGaming Atlas Research Desk and iGaming Atlas Editorial Team. Each byline identifies the publisher of the research; it does not imply a disclosed team size, personal qualification, regulatory authority or law-firm relationship.
Each material status is intended to show its jurisdiction, evidence type, source and review date. The data-quality page distinguishes direct record citations from relationships checked through a dated official-register batch.
Review and accountability
Material pages show a last-reviewed or last-modified date and link to the evidence used for the finding. Automated checks test dataset consistency, source provenance, article metadata, feeds, navigation and page contracts before publication. Automation assists the workflow but does not turn an unresolved source into a positive claim.
Substantive corrections are recorded in the change log. Readers can also inspect current coverage limits and overdue work on the data-quality page.
Publisher disclosure
The public record currently identifies iGaming Atlas as a Lisbon-based research publication, the institutional Research Desk byline, the editorial email and Jorge Ramos as the partnerships contact. It does not currently publish a separate legal entity, ownership register or funding statement. Those facts should not be inferred from the byline, contact names or commercial policy.
This disclosure will be updated if a formal publishing entity, ownership statement or recurring funding arrangement is made public. Until then, readers should assess individual findings through their cited source, scope and review date.
Commercial separation
Under the published commercial policy, payment does not determine a regulatory status, remove an enforcement record or suppress a factual correction. Live advertising, sponsorship or affiliate placements must be labelled and separated from editorial findings.
Commercial enquiries use a separate workflow, with Jorge Ramos listed as the public partnerships contact. Regulatory findings remain subject to the published methodology and corrections policy.
Corrections and contact
Regulators, operators and readers can submit evidence, request a correction or challenge a record. See the corrections process or contact the editorial team.
Written editorial correspondence is handled through igamingatlas@gmail.com. A written-only channel keeps the submitted request, evidence links and response in a reviewable record. Telephone support is not offered.
