Methodology

How we research

  1. A 201-question checklist for every jurisdiction, answered from official sources only.
  2. Three AI models argue the facts; a claim survives only if its quote is on the official page.
  3. Our research team traces every figure to the sentence that states it.
  4. A compliance specialist for that jurisdiction signs it off, by name.
  5. Watched daily: regulators, gazettes and parliaments every day, licence registers every week.

Every jurisdiction
Sub-national depth

From country to state in two clicks.

The big regulated markets aren't monolithic. US states, Canadian provinces, and Australian states each set their own rules, taxes, and advertising regimes. Click any parent country with a coloured outline to drop into its sub-national view: every state and province gets its own player guide, operator guide, advertising rules, and top wins.
