    Hi Everyone,

    i am pretty new to it all. can anyone give me some hints on what i should try.

    I did try to change the look on my adsense but i can't seem to find a way that works.
    I know i have many banners but they are doing okay.

    Thanks all,

    Gambling-theme sites are against Google's TOS. Did you apply for your Adsense account using this site? If not, and you applied using another site, I'd be very careful you don't get banned for slapping Adsense on a gambling-related site.

    I wasn't aware that Adsense had those rules.. I know that Adwords do, but adsense is new information to me.

    Thanks

    It's a slippery slope. They mention it explicitly in their TOS, and yet they continue to carry ads for gambling! Just to be safe, I wouldn't put Adsense on the gambling site. You don't want to risk being banned from a potentially big money earner on just one site.

    here is what you should do...
    if you are not yet banned..
    remove the ads on your gambling site....
    before its too late...
    remember..once you are banned...it will be very difficult to apply again..

    Not to be redundant, but PULL THE ADS ASAP!

    Also, in the future, memorize the TOS. It is your best friend, and it will save you from many potential pitfalls such as the one you are dangling over. "But I didn't know that" will not restore your account if Google bans it!

    Send an email to google.
    A more careful reading of their TOS would bring forth this response from me:
    They are talking about gambling and casino sites, not sites that have content about gambling/casino.
    EG...if you site is not one where someone can start gambling from the get go, but is about gamling, as in articles about gambling, articles on casinos, etc.

    This site leads to sites OUTSIDE of the site on gambling/casinos.

    Again, I stress, email google and tell them your site is not a gambling site, but a gambling information site, give them the url, and when they answer you, save the email if they say it is okay.
    In the meantime, just to be safe, I would remove the adsense at once.
