Saw this on search engine land earlier google has now baned adsense for play gambeling sites and “gambleing tutorials” google state:
We will no longer take ads for sites that promote gambling related content or gambling tutorials or whose primary purpose is `playing for fun’, gambling or casino games of skill. While we respect people’s differing views on gambling - and support freedom of expression - we believe that this new policy is simpler for everyone to understand and more in tune with users’ wishes.
Interesting I wonder if they realise that NS&I the govt department that runs premium bonds also runs adsense for terms like “premium bonds” - hmm so those are going too ? You are after all gambling with the interest you would other wise receive on say something like a 10 year gilt.
