Identify the question the marker answers
A local-licence marker describes the operator status recorded in the supplied reference. An available-country marker describes the reference’s affiliate availability. These labels answer different questions. Their presence or absence is not a substitute for checking the current operator, product, licence scope or rules relevant to your planned activity.
Do not infer that every available country has the same legal framework.
Check the actual campaign requirements
For a proposed launch, identify the audience location, the operator and destination involved, your own role and the advertising channel. Use current information from the relevant authorities and the platform’s official policies where needed. Ilya Sato can clarify programme availability and the source discussion, but a manager’s confirmation is not legal advice or a platform advertising authorisation.
Keep the different decisions separate
- What does the current GEO reference record?
- Which operator and product would the destination use?
- What local requirements apply to the proposed activity?
- Does the advertising platform permit this campaign?
- Has the programme reviewed the particular source?
For example, a country being shown as available for affiliate traffic does not establish that a paid social advertisement can run there without additional approval. If a marker or licence detail seems inconsistent, pause that part of the plan and request an updated source. Keep the date and source of each confirmation.
