Three documented developments deserve specific attention in supplier conversations:
- An upcoming integration deadline: Slots Launch’s documentation says server-signed API requests and iframe embeds become required on 15 November 2026, with unsigned access rejected afterwards unless account-level legacy mode is enabled. As of this research date, that deadline is still ahead—not a change already completed. (docs.slotslaunch.com)
- A metadata-contract question that cannot be answered from marketing alone: SlotCatalog’s publicly accessible v5 commercial PDF restricts publication of its data on affiliate resources. Its website terms, updated 15 October 2026, state that B2B services operate under a separate written agreement. Buyers need the actual applicable agreement rather than assuming either unrestricted reuse or an unavoidable blanket prohibition. (slotcatalog.com)
- A children’s-privacy deadline already passed: The amended COPPA Rule became effective on 23 June 2025, with compliance required by 22 April 2026 for most amendments. Covered publishers should be assessing implementation, not treating those changes as a future planning item. (govinfo.gov)
These are interview triggers, not findings that a particular publisher is non-compliant or that a supplier lacks authority.
