    The topic of gambling is still against TOS, there was no change regarding this when they recently modified their TOS

    Hey Google had not allowed adsense for gambling or adult website. But if still your website is showing google adsense it means it is not showing relevancy, but no wonder sooner you will be banned.

    Just because they are indexed in Google doesn't mean it is within Adsense TOS.

    If you are talking about Adwords advertisers advertising porn/gambling sites, well then... they can if Google allows them to.

    Adsense publishers are NOT allowed to put their Adsense code on any website with hatred/warez/porn/gambling/etc. Don't do it. You'll get cause when your sites are hand verified.

    Ok, seems logical to me that the new TOS does'nt allow such sites.
    Mods can close thread if you wish.

    If a gambling related site is not directly promoting actual gambling for money, then adsense is fine.

    I used to have a poker website that was promoting poker affiliates, I also had a poker store section that I out on another domain. The pages for the store promoted things like poker tables, poker chips, t shirts, etc. On those pages I never placed a affiliate add to any of the online poker/casino sites. Adsense was fine on those pages.

    Google even sent a warning about a TOS violation and I simply told them that those pages are on a seperate domain, and none of those pages mention casino sites where you can gamble for real money. They said o.k. No TOS violation.

    But the domain in question here by the OP does violate TOS. They do have aff ads that take you to a live sports betting site for real money gambling. That's a No-no
