What is the best gaming messaging app?
The best gaming messaging app is one that offers speed, deliverability, and compliance. Dexatel’s platform lets you send high-volume messages for everything from game launch alerts to iGaming SMS promotions, while managing opt-outs and responses in real time.
Is SMS gaming legal?
Yes, SMS gaming is legal as long as you comply with texting regulations such as the GDPR and the TCPA.

SMS casino messaging often falls under these restrictions, so it's important to avoid sending messages that promote or facilitate gambling activities.
