you're not allowed to promote gambling sites alongside adsense

    Hi,

    According to a response I got from the Adsense team (below), it seems like placing adsense ads on a site that also promotes gambling sites (inc. skill based betting) is against their program policies. The progam policies page states that:

    Sites displaying Google ads may not include:
    - Gambling or casino-related content

    I guess they could refer to links to gambling sites "gambling content" but it's not very clear. I mean adsense ads themselves contain links to gambling content.

    Anyway here's the e-mail I got:

    With the types of payouts that gambling affiliates pay, why would you want to use AdSense? I realize it is easier, but the money being made by gambling affiliates is among the best payouts in SEM.
