    Hi,

    I am new to the adsense program. I am planning to create a site relating to "Texas Hold'em Poker", which i am passionate about. The site would not actually be a gambling site, its just where people would go to get information and strategy on the subject. I wonder if this is in violation of TOS. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you in advance.

    I *think* you should be okay, but as said, it's best to email them.

    I personally think it is NOT going to be OK since it is related to gambling google does not say your site must have to be doing gamble... Email them to make sure ;)

    Thank for the advice. I did email google and they said every situation is different, and inform me to submit the site to them, but i havent completed the site yet, so just have to do that first.
