A post goes up when the Gambling Authority licenses or suspends a bookmaker or opens applications for digital gaming. It also goes up when Parliament or the Minister moves on the Gambling (Amendment) Bill and the age of 18, when BURS changes the tax position, or when a ranked brand changes its pula offer or its Orange Money route.

Alongside each post the Botswana home page is brought into line. A post carries the Bill number or notice, its date, and the arithmetic on a P100 deposit or a P1,000 win.

The first entry covers the Gambling (Amendment) Bill of August 2026. It lowers the age to 18 once the Minister gazettes a date. The post sets out what that changes at a licensee's sign-up screen in Gaborone.
