Leel Phone and nGülam have introduced Leel Entertainment, a suite of music, video and gaming services designed for children ages 4 to 14. Announced on September 1, the offering brings Leel Music, LeelTV and Leel Game into the Leel device ecosystem, with initial access for Leel customers. The partnership combines Leel's connected devices and parental controls with nGülam's experience launching and operating children's streaming services. The aim is to create entertainment around children's interests from the outset, rather than adapt a general-audience platform for younger users.
The announcement comes amid closer scrutiny of how digital services are designed for children. The European Commission's 2025 guidelines on protecting minors recommend disabling features that can contribute to excessive use, including autoplay and communication streaks. Leel Entertainment's approach centers on editorial discovery, age-appropriate content and an advertising-free experience.
"Safer technology was only the beginning," said Natalie Antoschuk, Chief Marketing Officer at Leel Phone. "Children want a digital world that feels exciting, current and truly theirs. With nGülam, we are bringing the devices, entertainment and safeguards together as one experience — giving children more freedom to explore while giving parents the confidence to say yes."
Leel Music provides human-programmed stations across artists, genres, moods and activities, with weekly editorial updates. Content selection considers both explicit lyrics and inappropriate themes. LeelTV brings together age-rated shows, movies and short-form learning content, with human-reviewed titles, live channels, editorial collections and offline viewing. Leel Game features non-violent games across puzzles, creativity, adventure and strategy, without advertising, in-app purchases, open multiplayer or stranger chat.
nGülam negotiated partnerships with record labels, movie studios and game studios to bring licensed content to the services. Its proprietary technology supports screening of songs, movies, series, games and associated artwork before publication, alongside editorial review and age-based programming. As Leel's media strategy and operating partner, nGülam leads content acquisition and rights, editorial programming, audience insight, partnerships, localization and commercial development. The partnership connects the creative, product and business disciplines required to operate entertainment services across markets.
"Children should not be treated as a profile inside an adult entertainment service. They are an audience in their own right, with their own tastes, rhythms and expectations," said Adrian Janon, Partner at nGülam. "Building for them requires the same creative ambition and operating discipline as any major global streaming business — outstanding content, thoughtful curation, intuitive product design, trusted partners and a model aligned with families rather than attention. That is what Leel Entertainment has been created to deliver."
Leel, built by Trackimo, is a secure digital ecosystem for children ages 4 to 14. It brings together connected devices, entertainment and parental controls through Leel Phone, Leel Tab, Leel Watch, Leel Chat, Leel Parent, Leel SIM and Leel Entertainment.

This launch matters because it addresses a critical gap in the market for child-safe digital entertainment. As regulators and parents increasingly demand age-appropriate experiences, Leel Entertainment's ad-free, editorially curated model could set a new standard. For industry leaders, it signals a shift toward specialized services that prioritize child development over engagement metrics, potentially influencing how other platforms design for young audiences. The partnership also demonstrates the value of combining hardware, content, and safeguards into a cohesive ecosystem, which could drive adoption among families seeking trusted digital environments.
