    Is adsense able to supply casino related ad's and do they even accept them? Just a question for a friend of mine. Please let me know :D

    Ps. don't you all love the experts on these forums!

    I can set you up with a contextual ad network that allows gambling related websites. I'll set you up with a nice bonus too if you're interested.

    Don't ClickSor allows gambling sites? I've seen gambling ads with AdSense so it is possible but I don't know if they allow them or not. How would you pull those ads though?

    Clicksor might, but their targetting is terrible and you get a very low $/click which you don't want since casion/gambling sites get very high CPC's. Advertisers on our network are bidding upwards to $3/click.

    A quick look at the AdSense program policies will inform you that "Gambling or casino-related content" is not acceptable.

    AdWords does accept casino (but not online casino) related ads, so, they do serve gambling ads if you have a tangentially related page.

    Here is the policy for AdWords content about gambling:

    Yeah, there are some grey areas. For example, I made money(by chance, I'll admit) when I first posted my Vioxx parody (a fake news release about how the recall of Vioxx was reducing spam). But if you try to place a Vioxx-related advertisement with AdWords you'll soon find out that you have to be a registered pharmacy to do it.

    It's certainly OK to display ads on sites that talk about gambling. But you can't put them on sites that are about gambling. Well, it's that content game again...

    (I'm traveling for the next few days so expect delays in responses...)

    You can't even have links to casinos on your sites that have adsense.

    Where did you get that idea from? I'm fairly certain that you can.

    From Adsense. I asked them. They told me no go.

    Feel free to check with them yourself. Links are content... you can't have gambling content on your site.

    By the way I just went back and re-read their response. Their stance is crystal clear.

    What about linking to somebody's post about his trip to Las Vegas? I mean, is it no gambling type of site or the site can't mention gambling at all?
