What up with google showing gambling site ads

[tas38]

Hello Everyone.....

Google started showing gambling site ads, on my arcade the dating site ads is not great. But gambling site ads is down right bad, I do not want to be known to have gambling sites on my arcade.

They do not take gambling sites as pubishers, so why are they running gambling site ads on my arcade. Has anyone else have this happen ?

They only have "gambling for money" sites banned , but do allow "gambling info" or "gambling products" , thats what you are seeing.

You are not allowed to advertise a site that has links to gaming houses such as casinos and poker rooms, or to any other site that is affiliated with casinos.

What many people do, however, is that they advertise a page that has no outgoing links at all, but has some gambling info and requests from uses interested in more FREE tips and bonus etc, to subscribe to their newsletter. Through the newsletter, they advertise their gambling websites.

It was a ad for poker info, and to find poker people to play poker.

They ask people to sign up, then try to sell a membership. I blocked it from my site, google should not run ads like that. it was pokerlocal.com. I don't want that kind of site ads on my site, if you ask me google should know better then to do that.

I'm sure if you try being a google pubisher, with that site google would not let you. And they should not let them sites run ads, on peoples sites because it looks bad for the sites owners and google.
