Google UK Gambling Ad's Policy Change..

Received This Today

Quote:
Dear all,

Please be aware of a policy change - effective today (June 6th)
Google AdWords will not permit the advertisement of online gambling
websites. Previously, the policy was to allow adverts from free, but not
paid, gambling sites. Now the use of gambling in any context is forbidden.

A Google spokesperson said:

"Google has always prohibited the advertising of things like bingo, poker
and online casinos. However having looked at this issue very carefully and
considered the views of our users, we have decided to extend our policy. 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."

Please let me know if you have any questions.

Thank You
It's been coming for a while though...
