President Noboa's partial withdrawal of Executive Order 421 in October 2024 re-authorised gambling and sports-betting advertising on media networks, reversing what had previously been a broader advertising restriction. This is a fragile instrument in durability terms, resting on executive order rather than statute, meaning a future administration could in principle reinstate tighter advertising restrictions without legislative action. No structured claim in this cycle establishes a parallel liberalisation in app-store listing or ISP-level distribution rules for real-money gambling products, so an entrant should treat the advertising channel as newly open while continuing to verify platform-level and app-store distribution constraints independently before committing a marketing budget to them.
