    I'm not sure actually, maybe adsense is not allowed on gambling sites, better check it..

    Well..simply put ..It is defiantly a no..no ..and watch you site content .. Poker tends to be on the wild side sometimes as far a T&A ..and profanity.. Google will shut that down if you ONLy go with adsense..if you can make money out side of the US with your site ..affilate stuff pays well when you FIND the right one.

    When I started a weee back....I was bombarded..with offers and most were not very good :( ..but I found one company that worked well and stuck with them..untill the US stoped our fun with poker on line. Hope this helps.. :)

    The website is not related to poker or gambling. I don't trust Google on this. They might ban me even after saying yes for such a thing. Has happened with lot of people already.

    NO WAY. AdSense do not allow their ads to be displayed on the same page as:
    * Excessive profanity
    * Violence, racial intolerance, or advocate against any individual, group, or organsation
    * Hacking/cracking content
    * Illicit drugs and drug paraphernalia
    * Pornography, adult, or mature content
    * Gambling or casino-related content
    * Excessive advertising
    * Any other content that promotes illegal activity or infringes on the legal rights of others
    * Pop-ups, pop-unders or exit windows that interfere with site navigation, obscure Google ads, change user preferences, or are for downloads. Other types of pop-ups, pop-unders, or exit windows may be allowed, provided that they do not exceed a combined total of 5 per user session
    * Excessive, repetitive, or irrelevant keywords in the content or code of web pages
    * Deceptive or manipulative content or construction to improve your site's search engine ranking, e.g., your site's PageRank
    * Incentives (monetary or point-based) to users or third-party beneficiaries for online activity including, but not limited to, clicking on ads or links, performing searches, surfing websites, reading emails, or completing surveys
    * Sales or promotion of certain weapons, such as firearms, ammunition, balisongs, butterfly knives, and brass knuckles
    * Sales or promotion of beer or hard alcohol
    * Sales or promotion of tobacco or tobacco-related products * Sales or promotion of prescription drugs
    * Sales or promotion of products that are replicas or imitations of designer goods

    Note the entry for "Gambling or casino-related content". This list is taken directly from the AdSense program policies.

    I think it has been answered, but no.

    You can even have adsense on a poker/gambling site as long as you aren't promoting any online rooms.

    Promoting an online room or casino on any type of site means you can't have adsense on the same site.

    I have adsence on a poker site and they approved it 3 times so far. it is just a information site so I think the guy above is correct.

    but I have also seen people using those affilite boxes with adsence so im not sure if that is crossing the line


    BTW poker ads are highly targeted (with adsence) :p as everyone wants to cheat and win and thats what the ads supply when the visitor visits the site.
