A Bengaluru tech observer's cautious notebook on colour prediction / colour trading apps in India in 2026 — how the one-minute period-based format works, why it is a regulatory and trust minefield, the engineered scam pattern (control room, grooming curve, MLM funnel, withdrawal wall), and how to tell a documented implementation from an opaque one. Not a recommendation; the format is high-risk.
A personal retrospective covering 8 weeks of watching India's live dealer category — Hindi-table inventory that materialized vs stalled, PROGA Act 2025 first-quarter operational reality, app store moderation patterns I noticed on my Pixel, UPI/MCC routing changes, and what the May 2026 ground-level picture says about where the category goes through 2026.
A Bengaluru notebook on the live-dealer app trickle of April 2026 — what showed up on my Pixel, what got pulled, and why this category feels different.
The 2023 IT Rules on online gaming changed everything. Here's what the technical implementation looks like from inside the ecosystem.
