YouTube is imposing new rules to curb gambling content by preventing creators from linking to unapproved sites. Starting March 19, these measures include an age restriction preventing users under 18 from accessing online gambling materials. Exceptions are made for sports betting and in-person gambling. The platform emphasizes the importance of these changes in protecting vulnerable audiences, particularly younger viewers, amidst ongoing challenges with gambling-related content proliferation. This initiative follows previous efforts, such as a ban on gambling ads for its masthead slot in 2021.
YouTube's new policy prohibits directing viewers to unapproved gambling sites, aiming to protect younger audiences from potentially harmful content.
The new rules enforce an age restriction on online gambling content, disallowing access for users under 18, with exceptions for sports betting and in-person gambling.
