    I don't see what the problem would be. Looks like a decent site to me.

    The ads on this site are showing up as:

    ad_network.php file needs updating
    Your ad_network.php file is outdated.

    While I don't (personally) have a problem with it because it's not an "annoying" gambling site, it is still a gambling related site. And it becomes hard to explain to people why certain gambling games are allow, and others are not.

    That being said, I checked approved ads, and it's not in there anywhere, so someone either deleted it, or it was old.

    I know it makes me mad to be spammed by *automated comment spammers* from this or any forum. It is doubly bad to be spammed by fellow forum members - it is like they are fowling their own back yard.

    It's not really, it's discussing the play of a card game... I think it should be permitted, you should adopt the same policy as adwords, it allows gambling INFORMATION sites, just not gambling services. That's more fair.

    karated I have nothing against you or you site but in this case I agree with Shawn. Gambling information is still gambling related. Untill Shawn updates to coop so we can control the ads that appear on our sites by theme I dont think he should allow any gambling realted ads/sites.

    I manage link campaigns for multiple sites on many themes including some family related sites. I know these site would not approve of their visitors who are likely children and teens to see links to gambling information sites.

    Also in the case of adwords you had to enter a search query realted to gambling or card games to get ads of that nature.
