    Has anyone found a way around googles strict rules?

    They insist that to advertise poker related sites that you need a gambling licence, however, unless you actually run a casino you cannot get one.

    Is that rule worldwide or maybe only country specific? as gambling laws differ in various countries.

    Think it is worldwide tbh

    I have written confirmation from the UK gambling commission that i do not need a licence to advertise my website, but google will not accept this!

    Lost for what i can do now!

    Try Yahoo and MSN for PPC, maybe they dont have rules about gambling sites.

    This is where the problem lies!

    You can only get a licence off the UK gambling commission if you have a registered and licenced UK gambling site.
    I.E. a casino, poker room etc.

    They do not issue them to people like me with simply a affiliate marketing advertising site!


    It appears that all of the major ppc sites are the same.

    I spend weeks working on this site and cannot advertise, pulling hair out time.

    There are thousands of markets to promote other than poker. Certainly you can't be at a loss for what to promote via AdWords?

    You misunderstood me!

    I am not lost for things to advertise on adwords, i have plenty of other things to advertise there.

    I am at a loss for ideas on how to advertise my poker site!

    Try to concentrate on building SEO for your site. Also advertise on other gambling sites

    My Dad actually works for the UK gambling commission .. wonder if he will give me a license ;)
