    was just to know your opinion, should gambling links be accepted in paid directory ?
    as basic listing. i have seen a related thread almost a year old, just want to know current opinions of all directory owners.

    Of course, they are sites like any others, and many of them have very high traffic rankings, as long as they are in a category of their own then I fail to see the problem

    Paypal may ban you in deals with gambling sites according to TOS..

    Amitpatel_3001 paypal account was banned - Paypal told that they found gambling links on gii.in

    But I can see big directories like bigweblinks accepting such sites without fear ??

    Yes agreed that does hurt...


    But like i said they cant stop any family member or friend from creating a legit account
    and if they choose to help you thats on them really...

    But id defiantly watch accepting the wrong sites as they are watching for those gambling links
    though nobody can say wether a site that has certain links in it if they were "free or paid" so the
    burden of proof would be that you accepted funds for that link in said account...

    thx

    Under a paid directory, I wouldn't do it just for TOS and to respect them, they may not find out, but if they do and see that you're doing it, I don't know if they'd find that as good business quality.

    Just my 0.2cents

    yea i accept them also but try to not make it too obvious :)
    i think its just unlucky if you get caught..not guaranteed you will or wont
    policy is anti gambling and adult but just depends..

    Well thats just the thing... some know how to play the game
    others dont and want to sit and pout when they get caught

    Any and all sites that are of quality deserve a link back...
    Thiers other payment processers available that will gladly accept
    funds without mention of what and whom they are from..

    If you make it obvious then you slap them in the face and off
    course they are going to get pissed and shut ya down

    thx
