What exactly constitutes gambling content?

    In a recent post I made, I related my confusion regarding a site running adsense that I felt had adult and gambling content up.

    I got a reply that it didn't look like gambling content, but content about gambling. :confused:

    I would think that gambling content (in the Adsense TOS) refers to ANY content related to gambling - whether it be actual gambling, or just content ABOUT it.

    This is a preeeeety big difference. Where is the line drawn? Is it clear?

    Perhaps one of the more experienced and knowledgable users could help me.

    Thanks.

    I personally emailed Google and asked about this a few months back. The response that I received was that if all your site contains is articles about gambling AND it does not contain any links to gambling sites it is okay to have adsense on the site.

    Hope this helps a little.

    OK, thanks. I guess that makes sense, although that is not what I first understood "gambling content" to mean.

    Thx
