  "rationale": "Gambling is banned by some providers and routed to a special use case by others, so the safe default is refusal — and the split is invisible from outside, which is how a licensed operator ends up registering into a destination that will not take it. The consumer harm behind the strict reading is the same one age gates exist for, arriving on a device with no gate in front of it.",
