ISSUE 16
A lab certifies that a named game build and its RNG met a stated standard on a stated date. Not the operator, not the payout, not your round.

ISSUE 15
Crash, instant win and live dealer rounds resolve three ways. Two are software, one is physical, and only some crash rounds can be recomputed.

ISSUE 14
Polymarket US certified bitcoin, ether and solana price contracts itself. No CFTC sign-off is required, and silence is not assent. Not legal advice.

ISSUE 13
A 3–0 published opinion lets Nevada regulate Kalshi's sports contracts, splitting with the Third Circuit. Nothing is final yet. Not legal advice.

ISSUE 12
Pixel Tamerz is the first MARBLEX title routed through its own stablecoin store. Whether the store is live in the launch client is unconfirmed.

ISSUE 11
Florida says a redeemable second currency makes a social casino a casino, and is suing the payment processors too. Two untried civil cases. Not legal advice.
3 Sept 20262 min
ISSUE 10
Brazil's tax case has reached Flutter's NSX, but the SPA left Betnacional operating. A raid is not a licence decision. Not legal advice.
3 Sept 20263 min

3 Sept 20262 min
ISSUE 08

ISSUE 06
A dual-regime explainer: MiCA does not licence a casino, onchain dice is not a hall pass, and provably fair is not a defence. Not legal advice.

ISSUE 05
Play-to-earn was a yield product wearing a game skin, and the 2021 loop that paid wages out of new-player demand is dead. That is not the same as onchain games being dead.
12 Aug 20266 min
ISSUE 04
Provably fair is a transcript check: the seed was not swapped after the bet, and the published formula was applied. It does not mean kindness, odds, no house, a licence, or onchain settlement.
5 Aug 20265 min
ISSUE 03
A chain cannot sample an honest die from inside itself. Studio RNG, lab-certified RNG, commit-reveal, and VRF are different machines. They are not interchangeable, and they do not make a game generous.

ISSUE 02
Five designs sold as onchain games. Only fully onchain games and autonomous worlds mean the chain runs the match. The other three put a receipt on a ledger.
22 Jul 20264 min
ISSUE 01
