    No gambling links are accepted on my directory. I personally have no problem with them, but feel they are better suited for true niche type directories. If I were interested in gambling sites, I'd look for a directory that specialized in them first. Easy searching :D

    I don’t see a problem accepting gambling related sites if they are quality.

    I don't accept them, I think they belong in different directories.

    Why Not? If adult content is ok gambling is fine also..
    Myself anyway dont know about others.

    Niche directories would probably help the cause...

    We have been rejecting them also, but maybe this thread will make us re-consider our policies, as long as they are quality and legal to be displayed on the Directory

    So at the moment No but lets see

    What is so wrong about gambling?

    RealGM.com got paid thousands to have their forums sponsored by a gambling related web site...and RealGM reaches kids from ages 13+

    I am getting more and more gambling submissions. It´s illegal to operate a gambling site in the US, but not to link to it :)

    I do not like gambling. The gambling companies steals the players money, they cheat you know.

    By the way, I voted for No. Many gambling sites are spammy like adult sites, pharmacy, xxx enlargement sites.

    They often link to anyone and tend to be link farms as well.

    Maybe you could use an alternate payment processor for those submissions?

    I accept gambling sites but not the adult ones...

    Been accepting these links since the launch of my directories and also i dont remember facing any problems with it.
