Atlas updates

Material data, evidence and product changes - dated and readable.

20 October 2026

Clearer regulatory timing and licence-check routes

  • Corrected the UK remote casino fee schedule to in force and separated the 20 October register-page count from the 12 October downloadable snapshot and selected brand checks.
  • Marked Denmark’s September renewal filing deadline as passed, without inferring any individual renewal outcome. These block checks do not renew whole-country or operator reviews.
  • Connected register guides, market profiles and monitoring desks through contextual links, keeping current rules, proposals and historical transition evidence distinct.

17 October 2026

Reusable operator dossiers and market decision packs

  • Added operator dossiers with selected markets, dated evidence, explicit holds, CSV and JSON downloads, printing and shareable selections.
  • Dossiers can be saved on the current browser and compared with the Atlas records available on a later visit. This does not provide email, background monitoring or account synchronisation.
  • Structured two legal-holder fields and one consumer-domain field from the existing Australia and Netherlands Bet365 evidence, without renewing source dates. Other identity gaps remain visible.
  • Preserved status context and recorded research notes together in the global export and operator dossiers, including historical entity and licence details.
  • Connected the global export to the Brazil transition clarification already published on 16 October. Historical source dates, row identities and population boundaries remain intact.
  • Extended market comparison with documented licensing, fees, advertising and financial-crime requirements and a downloadable JSON decision pack. Missing requirements remain visible research gaps.

16 October 2026

Portugal partnership consistency and request context

  • Aligned the Portugal partnership page with the existing market summary and its original review date. Unverified consumer availability is no longer described as a confirmed future launch.
  • Separated tracked Atlas records, initial commercial checks and commercial holds from approved affiliate agreements.
  • Connected Portugal partnership requests to a dedicated contact introduction with Portugal already selected as the market.
  • Extended the enquiry timeout through the complete confirmation response so an interrupted response cannot leave a form waiting indefinitely or count as a confirmed submission.

16 October 2026

Regulatory glossary, research navigation and Watch maintenance

  • Published a 25-term regulatory glossary covering licensing, technical assurance, financial-crime concepts and revenue measures, with source links and jurisdiction limits.
  • Added contextual routes between jurisdiction hubs, market profiles, evidence guides and research offers, including return links for 21 subnational profiles.
  • Corrected the Brazil authorisation archive description and clarified the dated withdrawal and restitution stages. A timetable is not evidence that repayments have been completed.
Read the glossaryRead the archive correction

15 October 2026

Belgium licence evidence and usable data samples

  • Matched the 13 tracked Belgium relationships to the official A+, B+ and F1+ datasets, keeping licence class, legal holder, domain and product scope distinct.
  • Released a six-record CSV and JSON evaluation sample with provenance, source dates, unresolved holds and a field guide. Preparing the sample did not renew the regulator checks.
Inspect the verification ledgerEvaluate the data sample

13 October 2026

Clearer research offers and accepted-request measurement

  • Clarified the Operator Verification Brief, private expansion research and data-licensing routes, with scope and commercial terms agreed in writing.
  • Published separate Bwin market-evidence and licence-verification guides for readers following operator and regulator records.
  • Tied lead measurement to accepted enquiry receipts, with internal controls and idempotent replays excluded from new lead events. This implementation is not proof of a measured external conversion.
Explore private researchBrowse the guides

12 October 2026

Scoped UK, Ireland and Malta register checks

  • Rechecked selected UK operator entities, trading names and domains against the downloadable Gambling Commission business register.
  • Reconciled the Irish licence-register edition dated 6 October and selected Malta authorisation seals, preserving each record's product and jurisdiction boundaries.
  • Kept unresolved identities, consumer-domain gaps and commercial holds visible rather than treating source coverage as universal permission or availability.
See the scoped register reviews

15 September 2026

Curaçao CGA register-status audit

  • Reconciled the CGA PDF updated 14 September: 663 licence rows split into 569 B2C and 94 B2B records.
  • Kept assessment, indefinite, expired, revoked and unlabelled rows separate instead of presenting the PDF total as a current-operator count.
  • Identified the complete four-day change: one Novatech Solutions B.V. B2B row was removed and its separate B2C row moved from assessment in progress to expired.
  • Rechecked exact XBet, Goldbet, Betano and Kaizen strings without converting register absence into a global legal claim.
  • Published a register-reading guide with the CGA certificate workflow, reproducible hashes, limitations and next-review date.

11 September 2026

UKGC, GRAI and Curaçao live-register reconciliation

  • Reconciled all four UKGC business-register datasets: the full register and business CSV enumerate 2,642 mixed-status accounts, while the landing card shows 2,641; the one-record source discrepancy remains explicit.
  • Reopened the 32 GRAI licence-holder accounts and reconciled 33 licence objects, adding DragonBet and Dabble and moving Kwiff from not listed to licensed for Remote Betting only.
  • Removed the former NetBet duplicate-number anomaly after GRAI assigned A-1185 to Dragonbet Ltd; the Irish register still publishes no consumer domains.
  • Reconciled Curaçao against the 10 September CGA PDF: 664 licence rows, 60 unqualified rows within coherent current terms, and no exact XBet, Goldbet, Betano or Kaizen match.
  • Expanded the evidence release to 828 source-backed rows across 291 operator profiles and regenerated the public datasets, search index and article visuals.

9 September 2026

Regulatory freshness, monitoring and trust-surface release

  • Removed the unsupported grey-market country category and clarified that market models are navigation summaries whose product rows and official sources provide the controlling detail.
  • Expanded and date-validated the Enforcement desk, and corrected Regulatory Radar lifecycle, source-check and structured-order logic so old signals are not described as ended without evidence.
  • Rechecked the Netherlands Atlas relationships through direct KSA records while preserving 3 August as the last reproducible complete 31-record directory snapshot after the consumer directory returned HTTP 502.
  • Reduced oversized desktop Watch visuals, rebuilt Statistics, strengthened Data Quality archive disclosure and expanded About with scope, process, boundaries, responsibility and correction routes.
  • Hardened operator-logo trust gates, added five opaque search-safe variants with SHA-256 provenance and introduced a legible square Fanatics display mark.
  • Kept Atlas Alerts available as a public web briefing and Watch RSS while code-locking email collection and delivery until the separate consent, provider, suppression and rollback release controls pass.

8 September 2026

Estonia licence evidence and UK governance release

  • Corrected the Estonia online-games-of-chance denominator: the EMTA table has 60 rendered rows, but 45 legal-entity rows and 15 brand-continuation rows covering 145 exact domains.
  • Published an EMTA-to-MTR verification guide that separates HKT activity licences from current HKL operating permits, product permissions, validity periods and exact consumer domains.
  • Recorded the measured Estonia search baseline before publication: 1,166 impressions, zero clicks and average position 57.9 for the country page in the captured final window.
  • Published a Watch Brief on Ruth Evans becoming Gambling Commission chair on 30 September, including the five-year term, £85,000 remuneration and two-day weekly commitment.
  • Kept the governance boundary explicit: the appointment does not itself change gambling law, licence conditions, enforcement thresholds or operator status.

8 September 2026

Four evidence guides and current-register release

  • Published the 888 market-by-market evidence guide, separating legal entity, consumer domain and authorised product across ten jurisdictions.
  • Published a complete Lithuanian LPT permit-journal guide that keeps 10 holders, 22 domains, 400 devices and 10 platforms as four separate denominators.
  • Published a 14-row Coljuegos entity-domain-contract ledger while preserving the regulator’s unresolved references to 15 operators and 16 legal pages.
  • Published a three-source PAGCOR workflow that separates Gaming System Administrators, licensed casinos and Guarantee labels, including the Betano commercial-start limit and Solaire domain conflict.
  • Updated Ontario to 49 operators and 84 sites, adding Fanatics Casino as a casino-only local relationship without inferring sportsbook approval.
  • Reopened all 29 GRAI accounts, added Fitzdares and disclosed the two Remote Betting numbers displayed on NetBet’s single account rather than inflating the operator count.
  • Reconciled Peru to 83 current records across 45 domains and 13 temporary-suspension records across seven domains, including the Bitelbet and Aciértala product-level splits.
  • Refreshed Germany, Curaçao, Isle of Man, Lithuania, Colombia and the Philippines against current official snapshots and aligned the downloadable evidence release to 826 source-backed rows.

1 September 2026

Live-register drift and licence-expiry transition audit

  • Moved Betfair, PokerStars and Unibet in Romania to under review after their last confirmed terms ended on 31 August; the Atlas does not infer a renewal, revocation or illegal status without later official evidence.
  • Reconciled Peru to 96 public rows: 88 current authorisations across 47 normalized domains, plus eight temporarily suspended records across four domains.
  • Updated Sweden to 81 licence holders and 195 normalized public URLs, Great Britain to the UKGC register dated 31 August, Curaçao to the 662-row OGL register and the Philippines to 59 official administrator rows.
  • Aligned the global evidence export and operator ranking to 824 source-backed rows, and added blocking checks for expired positive statuses and mismatched public totals.
  • Rebuilt all Insight image variants and introduced a stable incremental renderer for future article-only corrections.

29 August 2026

Interface, language and measurement consistency audit

  • Separated the 2,653 mixed-status records displayed by the UKGC business register from the 22 selected Great Britain brand checks represented in the Atlas.
  • Replaced the former file-existence logo percentage with size-qualified usable-logo coverage, removed misleading brand-like fallbacks and made stable media URLs revalidate after asset corrections.
  • Rebuilt editorial visuals and introduced content-hash verification so stale or mismatched article imagery blocks the editorial release checks.
  • Corrected mixed English and Portuguese interface copy, added an explicit language switch and made links to English-only destinations visible on the Portuguese route.
  • Clarified the separate populations behind selected operator-market relationships and the broader global evidence export; current totals are now generated from the release dataset.

26 August 2026

Editorial review language aligned with the real workflow

  • Replaced unsupported human-review claims and aligned public wording with the disclosed writing and evidence checks.
  • Kept iGaming Atlas as the accountable institutional publisher without inventing a personal editor, team size or credential.
  • Preserved the Watch evidence, response, headline and procedural-status gates; unresolved evidence still blocks publication.
  • Synchronized the global dataset guide with 818 source-backed export rows drawn from 71 of 74 market profiles and 286 operator profiles.

25 August 2026

Regulatory Change Radar launched

  • Published a source-linked timeline of upcoming deadlines, market transitions, newly effective rules and active enforcement signals.
  • Added market, signal, category, search and time-horizon controls without loading the full Atlas regulatory dataset into the browser.
  • Introduced a separate Atlas action lens that maps each record to the operational teams likely to act while preserving the boundary between evidence and interpretation.
  • Connected country Rule Packs, Atlas Alerts and primary regulator sources into one monitorable workflow.

21 August 2026

Atlas Watch editorial system prepared for review

  • Created a separate Watch layer for fast-moving iGaming enforcement, disputes, platform changes and industry controversies without merging reporting into the regulatory Atlas records.
  • Added mandatory confirmed-versus-not-established boundaries, response records, visible update logs and a publication gate; the later 26 August correction records the review process accurately.
  • Prepared dedicated NewsArticle metadata, an RSS feed, a 48-hour Google News sitemap and responsive accessible Watch visuals.
  • Prepared the first four source-checked stories and held every one from publication pending completion of the editorial gate.

14 August 2026

Global regulatory dataset and reproducible research release

  • Published a downloadable global export containing 749 source-backed evidence rows within a 74-profile market directory, with CSV and JSON distributions.
  • Preserved record type, market model, operator or brand, status, product, regulator, official source and verification date as separate fields.
  • Kept Brazil administrative authorisations and judicial-order records as separate legal-basis populations instead of collapsing them into one licence total.
  • Made the operator ranking reproducible from current Atlas data and refreshed Bet365 to 29 licensed or authorised markets across 39 documented relationships.
  • Rebuilt the statistics and press experiences around a citation-ready report, current methodology, direct downloads and a dedicated social visual.

1 August 2026

Complete Brazil federal register import

  • Replaced the nine-profile Brazil snapshot with every row in the current SPA administrative workbook: 82 company CNPJs, 188 brand records and 185 defined .bet.br domains.
  • Added the three administrative records whose domains remain to be defined in the official source without inventing a hostname.
  • Added the separate SPA court-order file as a distinct legal-basis section: two companies and six brand-domain records, not merged into the administrative authorised total.
  • Made every official Brazil brand searchable by brand, legal company, CNPJ and domain while retaining the nine deeper global operator profiles.
  • Removed unsupported brand-level product categories and corrected the Brazilian legal-entity matches for the existing profiles.

1 August 2026

Brazil and Netherlands licence-check guides

  • Added a Brazil guide that keeps the SPA authorisation chain intact across legal entity, CNPJ, consumer brand, .bet.br domain, ordinance and later amendments.
  • Separated a submitted SIGAP application from an authorisation to operate, preventing application-stage records from becoming licence claims.
  • Added a Netherlands guide for the KSA Kansspelwijzer covering company, website, app, licence number, permitted activity and current status.
  • Documented the Dutch 2026 renewal cycle and why a pre-renewal operator list cannot replace the live KSA record.
  • At that stage, reduced the target to two deeply researched articles per week and opened the next six-article research queue; the later evidence-gated pipeline superseded that temporary cadence.

1 August 2026

Visual evidence system and four-guide research release

  • Introduced a unique crawlable hero image in 16:9, 4:3 and 1:1 for every Atlas guide, with article-specific Open Graph, schema and sitemap references.
  • Added two accessible evidence-visual modules inside every article to break up long text and make the research workflow and findings easier to scan.
  • Published new evidence guides for Bet365 market licensing, the German GGL whitelist, DraftKings state permissions and gambling-enforcement terminology.
  • Added downloadable Bet365 and DraftKings market-evidence datasets with regulator, product, source and review-date fields.
  • Replaced the shared article social image with individual assets and added an original Atlas editorial-desk image for the Insights collection.

1 August 2026

Institutional trust, visible provenance and editorial depth

  • Defined iGaming Atlas Research Desk as the institutional editorial byline without implying an undisclosed team, personal qualification or regulatory authority.
  • Made the written editorial contact channel explicit and documented why corrections and right-of-reply requests are handled in writing.
  • Separated direct record citations, official-register batch verification and legacy records in market and operator evidence views.
  • Reframed the homepage around source-linked research and public reviewability instead of future commercial readiness.
  • Published a new in-depth methodology guide connecting brand, legal entity, consumer domain and licensed activity across four official regulator systems.

29 July 2026

  • Matched DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars Sportsbook and bet365 to named operating partnerships in the official online revenue report.

28 July 2026

28 July 2026

Lithuania permit journal and age-limit correction

  • Matched TOPsport, 7bet, OlyBet, Optibet, Betsson and Uniclub to exact legal entities, domains and permit records in the live LPT journal.

  • Matched Betano, Superbet, Unibet, Betfair, NetBet, PokerStars and Stanleybet to exact legal entities and Romanian consumer domains.

  • Added the current online bookmaker, online lottery and online casino licence categories.
  • Documented age verification, registered-player accounts, the prohibition on gambling credit and the foreign-operator requirements.

28 July 2026

  • Matched InkaBet and bet365 to separate current remote-games and sports-betting records under their exact .pe domains.
