YouTube is cracking down on gambling promotion in light of online gaming's rise. The platform now prohibits content linking to unapproved gambling sites, including images and verbal endorsements. Age restrictions will apply to all content related to online betting, restricting access to users over 18. This move aims to curtail sensationalism around gambling, though the impact on poker-related content remains uncertain. Channels promoting poker or other informational videos might still function if they don’t promote gambling websites. Notably, Hustler Casino Live faced a temporary suspension related to advertiser concerns, highlighting the policy's enforcement implications.
The platform announced this week that content promoting "unapproved" gambling websites through links, images, text, logos or verbal references would no longer be allowed.
We will also begin age-restricting content that promotes online casinos.
YouTube's changes now only allow those 18 or over to view anything related to online betting sites.
It's unclear if poker vlog, cash game streams, and other informational videos on how to play certain games will be affected.
