19 posts held, back to 27 July 2026 — the reader has not yet reached the start of this channel’s public history, so older posts may sit further back, unread. Read across 1 page of Telegram’s post history, 20 posts per page.
Nothing published in the last 30 days. ERR and ER are rolling 30-day measures, so there is nothing to compute — we hold 19 posts for this entry, the most recent from 7 August 2026. An engagement rate over an empty window would be a number about nothing.

Measured directly from 1 video with a duration reading, out of the posts we hold for this channel — not this channel’s whole posting history, only the sample this register has actually read. An exact reading to the second, taken from the post itself rather than from Telegram’s own rounded chrome, so it carries no ≈ mark.

🇪🇺 Europe's Licensing Map Is Shifting, and Not All in One Direction Two established markets are opening their doors this year, while a third is winning by keeping its narrow. Austria has sent Brussels a draft to end its long-running online casino monopoly. Once the Commission signs off, licensed private operators can enter, with the market expected to open around 2027.

🇦🇹 A regulated Austrian online casino market is now a question of when, not if. Austria has sent Brussels a draft to scrap its online casino monopoly. Once the Commission signs off, the market opens to licensed private operators. Monopolies barely fall overnight. The operators who prepare their corporate and compliance structure early are the ones who launch first when the window opens. If Austria's on your roadma…
🔖 Why One Operator Launches in 3 Weeks While Another Waits Months In reality, delays usually happen long before the application is submitted. The wrong jurisdiction, payment providers that won't support your business, unexpected legal requirements, or unrealistic launch expectations can all slow the process down - costing both time and money. In this episode, Felipe Reinner, our BDM, walks through the key question…
💡 PAGCOR Has Given the Market More Time: What Does This Mean For B2B Providers? The deadline for B2B accreditation was July 31. PAGCOR pushed it to September 30, after only 66 companies were accredited by mid-July, most of them game providers.

📩 Regulators don't usually take questions from operators directly. On 11 August, one will. Meet our guest speaker – Hristo Koevski, CCO of the Nevis Online Gaming Authority. He sits on the side of the licensing process operators rarely get to see: the applications that stall, the red flags that trigger a second look, the details that decide whether a structure passes review. Catch him live with our co-founder Odi …
🇬🇧 The UKGC Just Flagged White-Label Partnerships as a Money-Laundering Risk The Gambling Commission's 2026 money-laundering risk assessment flagged "insufficient scrutiny of white-label partnerships and business-to-business relationships" as a risk contributor. Here is the catch for operators: on a white-label you don't hold the licence. You run under someone else's, so their compliance gaps become your exposure, …

⚡️ The Hidden Bottleneck in iGaming Brand Building In January this year, we met Valerii Makovetskii from Maincard to talk about what he’s building. He often calls Maincard “Shopify for iGaming”, and it’s not just a catchy comparison. The idea is simple: Shopify removed the complexity of launching e-commerce stores, and Maincard tries to do the same for iGaming. Taking away heavy infrastructure and letting you lau…
📰 News in Brief #151 🇺🇸 US prediction markets: a federal judge blocked Minnesota's first-in-nation criminal ban days before it took effect, ruling federal law likely preempts the state.

Showing the 12 most recent of 19 posts we hold for @MGLNews. View and reaction counts are the latest single reading for each post, not a live figure, and a recent post is still accumulating both. A view count marked ≈ was rounded by Telegram before we ever saw it — t.me prints views in full below 1,000 and to three significant figures above, so ≈1,200,000 means somewhere between 1,150,000 and 1,249,999. Unmarked counts are exact. Text is reproduced from the public post preview and truncated for length.
