Countries are tightening rules, platforms are falling under restrictions, and the familiar digital landscape is changing right before our eyes. Here’s the most important.
Since late November WhatsApp began facing restrictions, and in December Roblox and FaceTime were banned. Restrictions are being introduced gradually, but the trend is obvious — pressure is increasing.
From November 6 — restrictions for teens on Kick.
From December 10 — across the whole lineup: Snapchat, TikTok, YouTube, X (Twitter), Facebook, Instagram.
Australia is essentially creating social networks that are “18+ by default.”
Platforms must operate from within the country — otherwise they face directives and blocks. Facebook is among those under pressure.
Xiaohongshu (RedNote) is blocked for one year due to a surge in fraud, refusal to comply with local laws, and cybersecurity risks. The decision is strict, but it hits the most sensitive point — user safety.
Update your strategies, track changes, and stay one step ahead.
🔥 Not sure why social networks get blocked? In our new review, we explained how blockages break advertising strategies, analyzed major cases from Australia, Nepal, India, China, and Myanmar, and most importantly — what this means for promoting gambling and betting.👉 Read here.

Good Monday morning! Let’s start it profit-charged with industry news. The week turned out to be contrasting: some markets are moving toward the industry, while others are tightening the screws. Here are the key changes worth keeping in mind.
— Colombia will отмена the temporary 19% tax on online gambling starting December 31. Pressure is easing — a rare and pleasant case.
— Finland is moving toward an open market: parliament approved the abolition of the state monopoly.
If the law is signed:
• licenses — from March 1, 2026,
• market launch — July 1, 2027.
— Denmark is preparing a ban on RevShare for affiliates. If adopted, commissions from losses and turnover will be history from 2027.
— Argentina: in San Rafael, online gambling will be blocked via municipal Wi-Fi — even for legal sites.
— Turkey is targeting a full ban on betting and casino advertising, including sponsorships and affiliates.
— Ethiopia went all in: the regulator revoked licenses from all betting operators after an investigation into concealing $1.6B. Arrests, payment blocks, national security concerns — the market has been wiped out.
— Streaming platform Kick hid the *Slots & Casino* category: content is accessible only via VPN, with no official comments.
— The State Duma passed a law on player self-restriction. Key provisions will take effect from September 1, 2026.
(Meta is recognized as an extremist organization in Russia)
— Reuters: Meta earns up to $3B per year from scam advertising originating from China — including illegal gambling.
The anti-fraud team was first expanded, then dismantled — and the share of violations rose again.

At the end of 2025, the Russian betting market was hit by three major blows at once: higher taxes, a ban on betting with borrowed funds, and the launch of a player self-exclusion system. All of this compresses bookmaker margins, tightens control, and pushes the market toward consolidation — smaller operators will find it much harder to survive.
— Margins are shrinking. 7% of GGR + 25% corporate income tax + increased contributions to sports and personal income tax on every win. For many bookmakers, the economics stop adding up.
— Market contraction. Small operators will struggle — consolidation around major brands is inevitable.
— Credit betting is banned. Loss of part of turnover and new requirements for payment providers.
— Self-exclusion from autumn 2026. Player checks against a registry, more KYC/AML, fewer “problem” users.
— Pressure on marketing. Bonuses, advertising, and sponsorships will be the first to be cut.
— Risk of illegal market growth. If the legal segment is overburdened, some players will move to the grey zone.
In addition, we’ve collected comments from representatives of major bookmakers on this topic. Read here:
— BK LEON: “There is no panic”
— BK PARI: “The decline can be minimized several times over”
