Registration of the Alpha/Alphanumeric sender ID is required for the correct routing segment adjustment. This market has market segmentation to marketing and transactional segments. One sender can be used only for one segment. If the one company has content that belongs to both segments, they have to register different senders. Marketing segment has a mandatory OPT OUT.
What this market refuses
Gambling is legal and well-regulated. All forms of online gambling are licensed by the Commission and therefore can be legally provided in the country under a licence from the Commission. A license has to be provided with the sender ID registration request. Some senders for this market are protected by the UK Operators and an Authorisation letter could be required for those.

How sending works
Use the same SMS API across supported destinations. Prepare an eligible sender, enable the destination and apply the recipient permission your message requires. Track the accepted message through carrier submission and the delivery reports available for that route.
