I'm asking out of curiosity, are you guys experiencing a surge of gambling ads on youtube videos lately? this past week I've experienced an increased encounter of gambling ads on videos I watch on youtube. it's not that it bothers me, I am just surprised because I don't remember getting this many gambling ads on youtube videos in the past, but this past week, I usually get a gambling ad from 2-3 out of 5 videos I watch(it's just an estimation because of how often I get the ads). I don't know if it is because I recently watched several videos of streamers gambling or it's just a coincidence, I've watched streamers gambling videos in the past but I have never gotten this many gambling ads.

Gambling ads are common when I am watching local YouTube videos. It is not new to us in my country. I believe that is how it would also be in many other countries. The YouTubers, especially the comedians are getting money from the gambling sites and also using their promo code to advertise to get more money, they see it as a lucrative means to make money as the gambling sites are playing well many of them.

Many kids and teenagers are exposed to gambling this way.

I haven't.

This is probably the algorithm that they have and whatever you used to watch and search, that's what the algorithm will show you. But I do get this a lot of time on Facebook videos but most of those are not the algo type but more of sponsored videos that they put it at the end of their videos.

If you're using Google Chrome which is another counterpart company of YouTube then that's it, the algo ticks on your browsing and watching activity.

The increase in the Ads sponsored by gambling sites is a result of a surge in the cryptocurrency gambling industry and this could be seen in the way the new casinos are being launched and introduced into the market, casino business has witnessed a wide range increase in adoption since the covid luck down, and a lot of them are spending good money in advertisements.

So, youtube is one of the popular social media where casinos promote their companies in the form of Ads which interrupt streamers' videos just to promote their own business.

Just to add, even random YouTube content creators advertise their own local casino and integrate it at the end of their videos.

I remember I was watching this creator on YouTube where he regularly posts prank videos which are funny as hell. But at the end of his every video, he was advertising this online gambling casino in which I believe is that he is a part of the admins on such website. It really destroys the whole image on how he created himself as this "funny guy" then suddenly he is now sharing ads of gambling platforms.

The funny thing is, after seeing his advertisements, the YouTube video ends with an ad which advertises another online gambling mobile application. It is just ridiculous at this point to see everything related to gambling.

Gambling ads mostly depend on the regional data. In my country we have got a big number of gambling platforms, and we can see ads related to gambling quite often. In recent days this has got decreased as our state have banned gambling platforms. Most of the times ads pop based on what we are watching and based on the area in which we've made more searches. Once we start reporting as inappropriate or repetitive, we can avoid getting those video ads.

I did not noticed since I have ads blocker installed in my browser.  But it is logical to see an increase of gambling adds in Bitcoin, after most of the twitch streamer migrated on Youtube for their stream, it is possible that Casinos see this as an initiative to put up gambling ads on youtube.  


It is not only that, many take advantage of Twitch streamers moving to Youtube for their gambling streams.

Yes I noticed that trends too, youtube influences and video games live stream have also become one of the major ways casinos now make promotions and as a matter of speculation many believe that, video streamers are fake and don't play real games.

The fixing is in collaboration with the casino just to get access to the playemindsmind and deceiving intattemptingpt to play on the promoted casino.

Gambling advertisements that appear on your YouTube are due to your activities watching YouTube streamers gambling at first. In addition, it is usually also related to the search you are looking for. This is all because of Cookies. When you search for something on the internet, the browser you use will store information in cookies. This includes when you access certain sites on Google such as YouTube and other social media. So, cookies will record your activity and become a gateway for content to appear to advertisements that are very relevant to what the previous user was doing.
But you also need to be careful with these advertisements, because many of the scammers create fake advertisements that aim to trap you.

I can confirm this and I was wondering whether it is because I am using Stake.com for instance. But I have been using gambling sites for a while now and the number of gambling ads shown to me was never as high as it is now.

Do you receive ads from casinos you know or are those casinos unknown to you in some cases? I don't know many of the casinos that I receive ads from.

It is also surprising because I thought that at some point Youtube decided to cut down or even shut down completely any gambling related ads or am I wrong?

Nope, cause I use adblocker ;). I don't think I've ever had them on my phone though. Granted that I've never really accessed casinos in my phone.

Afaik though ads should be a representative of the stuff you watch in YouTube itself, I mostly watch gacha videos way back when I wasn't using adblocker, so most of my ads were about those. If you regularly use adblocker though and would sometimes not use them e.g. on a different pc, then afaik it should be general ads catered to your country.

I use an adblocker on both PC and mobile, so Youtube ads are the least of my problems, but when I head to the other platforms, I always get that same gambling ad with a catchy tune. There'd be a few times that i'd get an ad on Youtube for using the in-app browser, but I can recall all of them aren't related to gambling. That just shows the current state of online casinos, some are willing to promote their site aggressively, and there was a thread about it recently.

I actually don't use YouTube that frequently, I think I usually make us of YouTube only when I have some mobile internet data exclusively for YouTube, or maybe when I have a special video I have to watch, so this can really explain the reason why I possibly don't get that too many ads like you, but then, this does not mean I don't see gambling ads on other places like etherscan, bscscan, poocoin, dextools, Facebook and so many other places, gambling casino ads are simply every where, so nothing really to be surprised or worry about.

Indeed, advertisements in any form are very annoying when I watch Youtube, let alone watching for a long duration because there will be advertisements that appear many times, and actually not all advertisements are in the form of gambling advertisements. But of course there are gambling ads, and I don't care for any ads when I go on YouTube because it's already a risk and I think everyone ignores it too and skips it.

And if you don't want any form of gambling ads or any ads, you can use YouTube Vanced. I also use it and specifically for my child if they want to watch YouTube comfortably because there are no annoying ads and I also don't want my child to see gambling advertisements and also always under my supervision while watching YouTube.

It's probably after you've browsed or watched some gambling-related contents. It's an algo thing like what others have said.

You pay subscription for this right?

Try installing uBlock Origin [ https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock#ublock-origin ] and see if that helps you watch youtube videos without ads. It's not exactly an "ad blocker" but I haven't seen yt ads since I installed it on my web browser.

I haven't made a payment in months, I have no idea what my friend is doing and I'm not paying at all.
and there may be very few interruptions in the network, and even then they are infrequent and occur only a few times a month. And when it did, all I did was switch it to regular YouTube, and after that it worked fine again.

You can opt to buy youtube premium for less than $20 per month if the ads bother you. You can also clear your browser history and cache more often and likely see less of these ads.

You're seeing this kind of ad because it's your preference if you're a gamer and actively searching for gaming on Youtube, the algorithm will catch it and will show you ads about gaming, this is how Google and Facebook, and other social media platforms monetize their platforms, their ads are targetted to the right audience, it's not that there are many ads from gambling sites it's just that there are many gamblers using Youtube platform and you could be one of it.

On Facebook, I can stop seeing this kind of ad but on Youtube, I just use Brave to stop those ads from showing.

Gambling has been a lucrative business for influencers and comedian,since they see it as an additional side hustle on their side. Gambling ads on YouTube is a norm in my country, every video you watch an ad on gambling will be done. And nowadays,teenagers loves watching YouTube videos,this ad will easy influence those that are thinking of going into gamble easily. I see that casinos are using so many major strategy to advertise their platform in order for them to get new customers because they have seen that people can easily gamble online without a second thought. Casinos have increased the rate of gamblers due their various method of ads they introduced.

Recession made youtube desperate. You know there are only a few recession-proof industries in the world. Gambling, sex industry, fast food… Since they know gamblers don’t really care if there is a recession or not, they are the best customers for their ads. If this keeps going, soon the whole world will become a one big online casino.  Everybody who lost their job during this recession will become a degenerate gambler.

From influencers and vloggers who somehow personally try to recommend such casinos. I even saw 1xbet being flashed on their videos. Yes so many of them advertised on youtube videos but not actually using the Google ads.

Quite alarming that casinos are doing this even to channels that are not really related to cryptocurrency. They are reaching out to those inexperienced users in crypto and these casinos could potentially scam.

I didn't experience it or maybe because I wasn't aware of it, usually more gambling ads appear when accessing a blog instead of YouTube, and maybe because of that it depends on what you watch, it seems because many gambling sites are blocked by my ISP so that too being the influence why I don't often see gambling adverts pop up.
When accessing a social media application that provides features to earn income, gambling advertisements actually appear very much and that is with a tagline that will be able to deceive many people who do not understand the many types of gambling because advertisements are often displayed as a way to increase money even though it is the opposite because gambling is not an activity to earn income unfortunately it appears uncontrolled until recently.

I always watch gambling streams like big wins and slot machines I want to see that some people have made it big in private mode or incognito mode and as such Youtube does not provide me such ads,only ads on things I use to watch in non private windows which is saved in my history.So I am assuming that the people who get gambling ads most likely are watching a lot of gambling related content in Youtube as Youtube usually show us in ads the content of what we watch most of the time.I don't see any increased activity in gambling ads.

I dont notice this as I am using adblocker on my PC but on our TV I haven't seen this ad, only those local commercials that we are getting since that account that was logged in to our TV is for kids so I think this is the case but that is a problem if it will appear in underage like for the kids. Still, for now, I haven't noticed it, what is better is to block the ads on Youtube or buy a premium one if you are bothered by it, as I am also time to time subscribing to it as I feel annoyed sometimes with the ads in YT that are not good for the child.

I can't do without watching Youtube videos everyday, I am a crypto trader and also a long term investor, not only with Bitcoin but other coins too, watching Youtube Videos is one of the ways that I use to stay updated, the fact is I don't normally come across gambling ads on the platform like you used to, yours is like time to time and mine is once in a while, maybe it's because I am always on my mobile phone more than my PC? Or ads display has something to do with your search history...

Are you normally into gambling search using search engine? If yes that might be the reason there.

The last part of your sentence, that's because of that. Advertisements on Youtube have some kind of a system for your most-watched clips. In my case, I mostly see advertisements that have something to do with food and online shopping because that is what I mostly watch. Then, some about sports drinks and foods again.  ;D I think it's a combination of watching sports a lot of times and then food vloggers.

In your case, you must be watching a lot of gambling streamers so get used to watching more ads that have something to do with betting. Casino platforms, online gambling sites, and maybe even resorts with casinos in them.
If you want to decrease this, maybe you could check your watched history or don't subscribe or follow those who have something to do with betting. I have not tried that yet though. Maybe it will work.

There are different types of ads.

there are the ones that are monetised by Google. But can add blockers on your phone or computer block that type of ads. I do not think so. They are not add when browser but when watching YouTube videos.

Another one is the ones that some YouTube content creators included into their videos, no ad blocker can edit a video or fast forward the part of the video that contains the ad.

If you are seeing many more gambling ads than usual, maybe it means that gambling sites are trying to increase their customer base by investing more in sponsored advertising that is usually targeted to specific criterias to meet specific people, and you likely fall into that category. I worry about how this can really affect people who are not of the age to gamble, it can lure them to it. I will also be careful of the advertisement I follow because even scammers can run this adverts too to get people to steal from.

Ads is one of the common ways people use to make advertisement for their services or company and this is not only attributed to gambling organizations alone, many reputable institutions and companies make use of google ads to advertise their brands, website, products or services, but this can be assumed to be more frequent on the gambling platforms whereby they often advertise themselves on YouTube ads, google ads and in some ppp up messages received via online websites through the network being used while connected to the internet.

I noticed the same over the last few weeks and thought that it was due to me being categorized differently by the YouTube algorithm. Lately I watched more gambling related videos, like top slot winners by streamers and the laat big poker tournaments. Also because of the death of Doyle Brunson there were a lot of new best of videos from his long poker career. After watching all these videos I see now 1 out 3 ads are for gambling. But if other people here have similar experiences than it might be that the gambling industry is focusing more on video advertising on YouTube than on other social media. It's not a bad sign to see the gambling companies be more profitable and have more money for advertising. The only issue I have is if the companies take away the money from bonuses and focus more on new customers and not the existing ones.

In my region the biggest youtubers are gambling and they have big numbers and I can admit that is interesting and fun to watch. Now for how long will this go dunno but things are changing in general in youtube space and gambling is getting it's spotlight right now.

That's most likely due to Youtube's algorithm that organizes relevant ads according to the videos you've watched before and because of that you can get a lot of gambling ads on your videos. In my opinion, as long as these ads are not annoying, you can skip these ads and continue watching your videos. However, I personally prefer to install an ad blocker to be able to block ads from my browser. Even though some people say that installing an ad blocker will interfere with performance and user privacy, so far I haven't found any problems with it.

Google ads will retrieve cache data from the browser or even application on your phone, as well as from the video history from youtube. If in your country gambling ads are not blocked by any provider, then you can find them after you do the online activities that related with any gambling. If you are using Android, it will be easier for Google to personalize ads for the device you are using.

Even another ads service provider will doing the same, from your history they will personalized any ads for you with their algorithm.

Perhaps it's based on what you search on Google as well. I have my gambling account separated from my personal account, and I never had even one single gambling ad on my personal account - not even once. Whereas on my gambling account, I have loads of different websites and casinos being posted on my Google ads and on Youtube whenever I try to watch something and forget to switch accounts.

You do know that Google is good at snooping whatever search you made from any of your devices using a Google account and push you ads based off of those searches, right? So yeah, that could explain why you see a surge of Youtube gambling ads - because the account you're using to watch Youtube has been sending gambling-related queries to their search engine or whatever website you visit.

I haven't noticed that with YouTube ads but the growth of gambling ads on content creators is increasing. Like when you're watching videos on other social media like Facebook of some content creators, they would insert their own made advertisements of a certain gambling site between their videos. There's no skip ads when it's really in their video, the only thing you can do is to skip the time or fast-forward it. I think it's more effective for gambling sites to partner with some content creators to insert ads on their videos rather than paying the apps for an ads where people can skip it. With the increasing number of online gambling ads, more people are getting into gambling nowadays.

Does it seem like you're in Las Vegas instead of YouTube, with all the flashing neon signs of gambling ads? Funny how that happens! In fact, your recent experience is likely due to YouTube's advertising algorithm, rather than a coincidence or increase in gambling ads.

If you've been watching gambling streams, the algorithm might have concluded that you're interested in gambling. Hence, it's serving you more gambling ads! This is based on your watch history, search terms, and other factors. Isn't that a bit like having a tiny, well-dressed casino dealer living in your device, ready to show you the way to the nearest roulette wheel? That's a chuckle-worthy idea! As for the ethical side, that's a debate worth having. Should platforms like YouTube be more responsible in regulating potentially harmful ads, such as those for gambling?

YouTube is suggesting what is your interest and if they find out that you are watching gambling, then they are offering such things more. I don't encounter such a scenario but yes, I've noticed as well that more gambling ads come out and this is something to say that gambling developers have found YouTube as another tool to spread information and awareness to the community knowing that a lot of people are on this platform. From now on, seeing them poping out as an ads become normal and that creates more traffic, and probably it was very effective based on their assessments.

I think it depends on the owner of the videos because whenever I watch youtube short videos or long videos, I don't find such ads and I only got some food ads instead and some online store ads. they also have your histories and they can get some info from there to track your activities and show you some related stuff on what you are mostly doing every day. I know they are doing these kinds of stuffs nowadays because when I tried to purchased some Nike shoes online, the next time I see, some shoes companies are shown in the ads of the social media that I'm browsing. they know now what kinds of stuffs are you looking in the internet.

No, I'm not getting any on the videos I watched on my active Youtube account linked to my Gmail, my preferences are all about music, movies, and current events so these preferences are what you might be called PG, I never search or watch anything related to gambling on the account and browser which I normally use, but if I want to watch gambling videos I use my other email accounts and my other browsers.

If there are many gambling ads that's because there are many streamers who are actively promoting their streams and many casinos are now active on social media platforms like TikTok, Youtube, and Facebook so it's not really Youtube.

No, it's just the regular local ads that I'm seeing and nothing about gambling. Perhaps you are watching a lot of gambling related videos?

And most likely the algorithm of Youtube has that so the next time they give you ads, it's everything related to gambling. So yeah, most likely you watching several videos of streamers and mostly following them or subscribing might have something to do with it. If any case this might help you:

I believe that's the answer here. If you are watching a lot of gambling streamers, the likelihood of getting gambling ads is high.
Just like when you browse the net for products, and suddenly there will be suggestions of similar products that you can choose from.
You can also limit the ads if you think some of them are uncomfortable to watch -

https://support.google.com/My-Ad-Center-Help/answer/12155260?hl=en

Also, don't forget, cookies can track your browsing habits, your search and browser history. So no wonder they may suggest similar topics.

YouTube remembers the type of videos that you like to watch and from there, they're injecting you all of the related videos together with the ads that's related to it as well.

One easy and free thing to solve this is to use Brave browser, no ads will appear as you browse and watch through it. Or, avail their premium so that you'll avoid to see any ads that might annoy you.

As far as I know, gambling advertisement is now restricted on youtube; I've seen a lot of content getting blocked by the platform to prevent shows of it, or just only mine because never seen anything ads related in my country as gambling if that so still on your country seems a good thing the algorithm of your account or activity is all about described in gambling so nothing new and typical and at the same time the casino and the google platform win-win in that particular situation they promote the advertisement and at the same time the google get paid. Still there's a chance that the google will restrict if you made an upload related to gambling which is not safe to everyone.

As far as I know a lot of software nowadays collects anonymized information about users and sells it for advertising purposes. And many companies are not even shy about this and put it in the user agreement. If you use Google, you'd be surprised how much information they collect about you. There is a lot of information about this on the Internet. The most interesting thing is that by the impersonal information they collect, you can very easily identify a person.

So it's not quite right to think that you see ads based only on Youtube searches.

Yep usually ads follow what you watch, if you've ever watched a gambling player streamer then you will get a lot of advertisements about gambling, I think that's how the YouTube algorithm in the ad service, also the video/gambling content will appear on your home screen with many content recommendations . Things like that are also found on Facebook, they use the same algorithm about advertising that depends on what you have watched before it will bring up advertisements that are quite frequent.


Yes it is indeed a good strategy to develop faster in the online gambling industry, and it is quite effective especially since there are a lot of audiences streamers.

Simply put, YouTube is tracking you. They are learning about your online behavior regarding the types of videos you watch, the amount of time you spend watching them, the keywords you enter in the search box, and your general interactions. They are monitoring you. Therefore, if you have spent a great deal of time watching several videos of streamers gambling, they have personalized the ads to match your behavior. If you do not want to see those ads, you can clear cookies or cache in your browser settings. That should help.

I said that is how Google's algorithm works when you type and search for gambling sites so that anything connected to your Google account, be it YouTube, will display what you are usually looking for and likewise Instagram or other social media, if you ever click like. in postings about gambling, you will find more gambling advertisements there or your family using home wifi with the same IP likes gambling posts.

I think you need to check it again have you ever searched for it on google search or liked gambling posts on your social media, I've heard of ways to remove gambling ads on your youtube, just search on your google to find the answer, I'm sure it will help

That's the problem, whatever you search on your phone or PC will be the same results you will keep getting with results and advertisements,  if you don't want this anymore you will have to reset or format your PC or Android then everything will go back to the way they once are, mind you, that's if you don't sync your history with your Gmail account, the moment you format your android phone or PC and insert the same Gmail account, your histories will be back and you will start seeing almost the same result over again.

I don't notice any gaming related advertisements, this may be because Google and YouTube personalize your data and serve you adverts depending on the data they have on you. When I first noticed that YouTube was showing me ads while I was watching long programming tutorial videos, I was perplexed as to why there were so many advertisements for gaming. Looking back, I realize that it was because I had been watching tutorials on how to play blackjack and dice a few days prior. I believe that this is an example of personalized advertising based on your online actions.

I believe that your ad is being repeated because you enjoy gambling or games that are linked to gambling, no way they would repeat a specific ad more than once unless something went wrong on their end.

It's not a coincidence, but that's the answer. Any website using similar algorithm where they will recommended video or ads related to your search history or video you mostly watched. More and more website algorithm is accurate to predict what the user's current interest, it's good, but people forget about the bad side. This mean what you've done are stored in their database and they're use your data.

Imagine if there's a website record each person name, face, address, location and all of his interest, you would be controlled by the government or any centralized institution.

With billions of users now using YouTube, YouTube has become one of the most popular mediums with potential marketing results. and huge amount of content creators are now promoting different sites for money which advantage gambling sites have started taking and they have started marketing strongly on YouTube. and that's why there are so many gambling site ads on YouTube now. And since they promote their sites through various big content creators, the sites are gaining a lot of potential traffic. and the sites are making hebby profits

I'm not sure if anyone else has answered this, but what I do know is that the ads on YouTube and other social media will appear according to what you see most of the time. for example, lately I've been watching slot games a lot and it's about football and since then almost every social media I've used to watch videos I've watched before has popped up ads about slots and sports betting.
so ads like that are very natural after you watch streaming gambling, ads will automatically appear according to what you watched before.

Do you watch gambling video most of the time because youtube ads usually shows ads that is related to your interest. I use different youtube account on my 2 device and both of them show different type of ads based on the videos that I’m watching for that particular device.

Those gambling ads start appearing on my youtube account after I became interested on gambling highlights but still I don’t received this ads on the device that I use only to play videos for child.

They believe that people can easily gamble online, which seems very easy to me since you can stay at home and do whatever you want without wasting much time, so they introduce those influencers to promote their business by advertising their business. As you can see, even new casinos are using this innovative strategy of introducing YouTube ads to attract more customers without spending a lot of money.
You can see that some casinos have websites that are less than a year old, and thanks to their usage of advertisements, they are promoted and attract lots of customers.

Maybe your recent search history or internet activity ^{is affected by cookies accepted in different sites} to be processed and you are one of the people who would likely try different gambling sites. That's probably their intention and maybe trying to get you hooked or something.

That's the double-edged sword that people have in terms of having social media and their internet activity tracked or something it can be helpful or harmful. 

No, because I use Brave browser. No ads here and I still earn some crypto meanwhile by using the browser. ;)

By what you said it seems big companies are becoming more malleable with the idea of accepting gambling advertisement on their platforms. With so many gambling websites nowadays, especially inside the sports' niche, there is a lot of competition for public and popularity on the internet. To occupy spaces like Youtube must be a huge priority for many services trying to get recognized and shared by gamblers. Efficient marketing is an essential part of the process and they know Youtube has a loyal base of users who are also customers of gambling related videos/content. So marketing teams from gambling houses join the "useful to the enjoyable".

Simply put, this is the correct answer to the OP's question. but not only on Google Chrome, because this system applies to those who use smartphones. I mean this algorithm system applies to those who open YouTube from the application, so it would be very natural if there were lots of gambling advertisements popping up on our YouTube homepage. not only that, videos made from gambling creator content will also appear on our main YouTube page. whether it's paid, or a random system refers to the results of our search.

It's actually simple, OP can ignore it if it bothers or objects to it. but if it's not, the OP needn't be shocked and bothered. in essence, OP can choose the options provided by YouTube or other Facebook platforms. I will quote "stop seeing this ad" well, the platform also provides this option. and this too, applies to other videos.

I think this depends also in your location. In my country is illegal (here in Italy) made such kind of advertisement so no, there is not this increase. 0 promo related to gambling even if I have a couple of accounts for gambling.
Worst part, I see a lot of promo related trading / similar activities with shady websites :( or "method to make money online".
I completely don't care, I have -1 interest in such stuff, but their algorithm is pushing these s*it each time :(

Often these things can be connected back to large, or even very small subtle changes in terms and conditions at places like Youtube. Maybe the rules surrounding gambling adverts have received a second look by Google lawyers and with the recent relaxing of gambling around the USA it could be more acceptable for them now. Gambling adverts are one of the highest paying niches in online advertising, so you can guarantee that it is very lucrative for Youtube to be allowing them and they will have gone into a lot of detail to make sure it is ok. Alternatively, maybe the adverts always existed but you have just started following more of this content so their algorithm has shifted your interests over to this type of ad.

I don't know if it's an uptick but I get a ton of them.  I watch a lot of sports clips and shows on there so I just assumed they tied me as a gambler or a likely gambler.  Are the ads targeted on there?  I would assume so, so it's likely something you started watching triggered those ads.

You do not need to format your pc or Android phone, clearing the cache is enough to remove cookies that track our activities.  As we know cookies can be used as tracking cookies to track our internet activities.  Cookies are small text files saved to our computer by the website we visit.  This is used to collect the data of the user and may use for ads targeting. 

There are suggestions on how to control this kind of stuff and we can read it in this article: https://www.cookieyes.com/blog/tracking-cookies

Since everyone is regularly watching videos on youtube, Youtube is up to date on what videos we are watching so they might use the same kind of theme for their video suggestions.

I'll say maybe YouTube has been having more turnups lately than before.... I mean, they could possibly be paid good by several companies to run them ads and not even you browsing through can stop that.
Secondly, they might decide to optimize their ad options just to prove Thier expertise to any interested company,...and that's gonna go global yunno. It all depends anyways cus onlike me, I haven't been getting incessant ads as compared to what you described. I won't also say it's possible for anyone to initialize the ads blocking option, cus I've got an idea it works only on chrome and Opera.

It's always based on the habits/history user.

The more often you are opening or watching, the more ads you will get depends. If that really makes you disturb, fastest way are cleaning your history/cookie & cache or you just stop watching/streaming gambling content and always "Ignore" any recommended channel from youtube about gambling.

Same here on which everytime i do watch youtube then those ads do really kept on showing which it is mostly gambling ads and the rest are those casual food products.Basing up on what i had observed
it would really be mattering or depending on what you are watching. Just like on going or surfing on Facebook on which it would really be matching up on what you do currently searched and with with those SEO
and other stuffs will really be coming up next and would be spamming out those similar ads and just trying to hook up your interest and this had been a common thing.

Just like when i do watch Dota 2 on where it do shows bookies ads on where you could place up some esports bets which it does make sense on where they would really be showing
off those type of ads on hooking up potential bettors basing up on what you do saw.So its just a casual thing to be shown which we know that this had been
that typical stuff when it comes to advertising.

I've been getting increased gambling ad's not only on YouTube, but across the board (television/radio/social media etc).  The main reason for this however is the fact that gambling has been legalized in my state (State of Illinois here in the United States) so they are just now legally being able to produce ads like this.  It's honestly kind of crazy to see this, but I of course and am in full support of it!

Lets just hope YouTube pays a little attention to this, as they already allow for scammers to place ads, which is FUCKING insane that a company of that size and magnitude doesn't have a better checks and balance system, or even cares..so I can only image the type of gambling ads they might allow. 

The ads we come across on Youtube appear according to our interests. If you have searched for online gambling on Google or spent time on such sites, you will see advertisements about it. If you read the explanation below, you can have more detailed information about the subject.

In addition, due to the jobs given to influencers, you may have come across a large amount of gambling advertisements. Frankly, I don't take this kind of advertising and collaborations too seriously. Instead, I find my own personal experience or the experience of ordinary users more valuable.

It would personally say that it is not a coincidence. YouTube/Google is very well known for taking advantage on knowing the content you consume to further push their business model of targeted ads. So after watching some gambling streamers, it is normal you get some related ads.

In my case, I have not noticed an increase of those, mostly because I just like to watch videos concerning to videogames and political news. I would have guessed Google did not allow so many gambling ads as there ToS, though.

You have two choice use Brave or pay to have an ad-free experience, and expect casinos to spend thousands of dollars from their advertising, the competition is very stiff, and Youtube is one platform where you n find a lot of gamblers who like or have been watching videos about gambling and they are pouring their ads to these users.

I recommend that you use alternative accounts (Gmail) to watch Youtube videos related to gambling and those associated side things.

 I have not seen a single video related to gambling or YouTubers, although it is a "regional" situation for each user in their browsing habit, but in relation to that type of advertising it should not be frequent unless their habit is.

 It is something targeted, so when I use one of my YouTube accounts that I use for related content, I may not get advertising but the channel recommendations are associated with what I see, they are somehow showing you the way to consume the content that frequently you follow.

In fact it happens with streaming accounts if you watch murder movies those are the recommendations. Then...

in the past years I experienced this but since I stopped visiting random gambling sites in my search box? i noticed that there are fewer gambling ads from my youtube watching .
maybe you are commonly checking gambling sites?
and also I only visits youtube limited times lately so I don't bother checking this thing nowadays.

I think google ads are mainly about your interests and/or search history for sure. In other words it tries to catch your attention so it can classify your interests somehow with some sort of algorithm for sure. Its pretty much known that Google is fine with gambling ads, YouTube is owned by Google so, complete the puzzle here... As some others already said gambling companies may have paid a lot to Google as well. I think YouTube is one of the best websites on internet to advertise.

That would be surprising because google ads doesn't allow gambling related ads nor casinos. If they however changed their Gambling policy, then you can expect a lot of those ads going to flood depending to what you have been doing online.

Just as you said, Google or anyother adnetworks do have bots that personalized ads to users viewing a page. These bots collect browser data and check demographics to serve ads.

It might be a combination of different scenarios...

I do not know how long ago did you watch online gambling streamers, but if it was before the Covid pandemic... then it might explain why you received less gambling related advertisements. The online gambling scene exploded during Covid, because people were forced to stay in-doors.

Since then, online gambling has increased and the Youtube algorithm has targeted you with more advertisement, because there are more online gambling sites that are paying for advertisements on their platform.   :P

I did not observe a spike in gambling advertisements on Youtube videos or whether they were still the same as before.
Maybe there could be a spike along with the development of the gambling business, which is now increasingly popular.
But that's just an advertisement and if the advertisements on Youtube do not easily tempt you, you will not click on those ads and play gambling.
But I realized that some streamers try to upload their moments playing gambling in a casino and I don't know what Youtube's current policy is.

I have never seen a Youtube Ad about gambling. ;D By "gambling" I mean actual online casinos. I've seen sports betting ads in the past(maybe it was last year). Nowadays, I mostly see gaming ads promoting some sketchy apps on Google Play. No gambling ads whatsoever. What kind of settings do you have in your Youtube/Google account? I want to allow gambling ads on Youtube. That would be fun to watch and analyze(from a marketing perspective). I want to see how the online casino are promoting their business and how they attract customers.

For me by gambling ads I mean youtubers promoting on their live streams gambling sites and gambling on them. I know they get a daily budget on which they gamble and every profit from it they can keep(this is how they pay them how they say). This is very popular now and good investment from casinos.

Not recently, I have been noticing gambling ads in YouTube channel videos and Facebook shrot videos for a long time in my country. All these ads are mainly promoted by the casino platform through YouTubers. YouTubers get huge profits due to this promotion. However, in my country, advertising increased a lot for a while but now it has decreased a lot because a few days ago a YouTuber was arrested and fined for posting this gambling ad in his video. Because gambling is banned in my country it is a heinous crime. Because of this fear, people have now stopped advertising gambling in videos.

I noticed this on social media mostly like they have a video in front and in the middle or at the end of the video they will put a local casino or gambling platform that they are showing that they are playing and winning on that casino, which is pretty funny that they do it so that you can watch it, but again, I don't mind it, I will just scroll more, but it is kind of annoying if the kids saw this. But on Youtube, I don't see this kind of video that they edit and in the end put a casino as it is against the terms, I think, and it should be a video alone with that platform.

Well, I don’t get same adverts when I watch YouTube videos

YouTube algorithm has been programmed to show you ads relating to things you search mostly on google (apparently, google owns YouTube)

So anything you search more often on google, you get ads relating to it on YouTube videos

It also applies to the things you watch most times on YouTube too

If you watch football videos on YouTube more often, you start getting ads of football betting sites

That's most probably because of the algorithm of your most recent browsing history or like you've said, those Youtube videos you're currently interested with. I think the algorithm was read through your browser, I'm not sure of it, but that is one thing I have noticed since I am also seeing a pattern on what the facebook ads is showing me based on my most recent search history in the internet using a specific browser. I think everything you open with that browser that shows ads will going to show you the same algorithm.  However, Its undeniable that the gambling industry are becoming more and more popular nowadays - so I can also say that there is an increase of number in gambling ads that we can see in the internet. Most content creators here in my country are even advertising several online casinos within their video content run time, in-stream ads are also different.

Yeah, I'm not sure about that algo but it seems that it's the system that learning about your previous visits and those recommendations relied from how you use the information, more on an AI thing that direct those recommendations and ads for your references and interest, personally, it's annoying especially if you are not really a fan and you just mistakenly press the site or the ads, then suddenly it will be on your recommended site to visit.

I also experience this recently. I thought it's just me. But I guess the number and frequency of gambling ads became more and more noticeable in YT and in other social media platforms such as Facebook. There are many advertisement nowadays about gambling even if you are just streaming a random vlog, song, or meme. It appears in the mainstream media more often and sometimes i feel bothered about it since there might be someone below 18 who are lurking around.

I believe it is not my algorithm talking since I'm not really much into watching gambling related videos or even viewing gambling related content. There are even many so-called influencers who are advertising gambling nowadays. So most probably, gambling just become more and more known and became a means of sideline to some.

I also observed that if you watch any video, there will be an inflow of related ads based on the content of the video you clicked on. Maybe the system. is programmed that way.

In my country, there is also an increase in gambling advertisements after the covid-19 restrictions and this has led to more endorsement deals for many influencers. These influencers are now spreading the news of both crypto and other online fiat gambling. I am terrified to give my children my phone to watch their favorite children's comedy because these adverts sometimes pop up, thereby exposing them to the risk of underage gambling. There is a need to control these adverts to ensure that it gets to only matured targets.

We should just Know this that stopping the effect or appearance of these ads may not stop because it's one of their own promotional efforts in getting their services and products being advertised, we also need to be careful not to fall of victim of any ads we come across by clicking them, ads has its own advantages in it's little way because it aid fast information dissemination across the world through the social media platforms.


You don't really have to be gambling video inclined person before you can be receiving their ads, they randomly selects platforms they advertise on and the things we often watch while on YouTube, all work together with their precision and set ads on videos we watch etc.

YouTube algorithm works on your choice of video. If you are watching gambling or betting content its algorithm would bombard you with more such content. Depending on your behaviour it will start showing advertisement relevant to your viewing habit.

You can manage what kind of advertising you want while using any Google service. You can read this [https://support.google.com/youtube/answer/7403255?hl=en]article[/url] if you want to reset the advertisement.

Same here, not seen one single ad for gambling on Youtube, pretty sure it would be illegal, I mean it's an adult thing and you don't want to get in trouble advertising casinos to kids, feels very weird they'd get the ads.

Then again, I don't know what YT or Google does outside my region but I even use VPNs of different countries and never once got a 18+ ad on YT. But crypto shilling ads, yech, all the time.

Also, I use adblocker, maybe that's why.

I have started disliking YouTube because they have choose to increase the rate at which we see ads on there platform. I don't know whether the numbers of there customers had increased so far but I think I have started seeing increase ads whether I am using the platform. This is even more annoying when I use my TV to access the platform. Sometimes it keep showing ads every 2 minutes of using the platform which is very discouraging. How I wish there is available platform like YouTube that we could use and get what we want like the kind of videos we are looking.

Its how YouTube works  I think. They show you ads based on your recent activity. All google products are like that. When you accept cookies, ads related to the site you accepted the cookies on are what you will see.
So probably you've been visiting a lot of gambling sites, watching gambling related videos on YouTube, or just visiting sports sites.
There is also the fact that there is an increased level of marketing from gambling sites. They spend a lot of resources in marketing because the competition just keeps increasing and they need to reach more audience.

I don't understand such judgments. Advertising is one of the most common ways of monetization. You have been provided with a service for viewing a wide variety of content, in my opinion the best. You have the choice to pay a small amount for disabling ads, or watch content for free, but with ads. But you don't like that either. Don't you think it's strange?

In order not to watch ads based on your interests, you can disable it in the advanced settings. Thus, advertising becomes more broadly focused, and therefore less annoying.

I think it's a combination of few factors.

If you're watch a gambling streamer but it's a local streamer in your country and you're search it using your own language, it will depends if there's someone in your country paying Youtube to add his gambling ads. If there's a gambling ads and it's targeted only for your country, even you're watch gambling, you shouldn't see a gambling ads.

But if you're using English language or watch a global streamer, you will see a gambling ads.

If I'm not mistaken, ads which appear on your browser are the ones you often view or something related into such as things you often watch, also with content creators you are watching. But I have no strong basis on this one, just what I have observed 'coz such things only appeared the moment I engaged in gambling activities wherein many gambling sites are sliding to the ads.
I think this won't be a strong basis as well especially with regards to the language that you have mentioned. With regards to streamers gambling ads is not something which would appear constantly, that depends I guess with the content a streamer is making as well as his/her sponsors.

It seems that the ads that appear too often are caused by broadcast channels that are often watched because things like this are not only found on YouTube but also on Facebook because I have watched slot game broadcasts several times by several streamers and after that there have been lots of advertisements and videos streaming that appears on the homepage or on the streaming video page on Facebook.
I don't know why this can happen, but it seems that some social media have a way of working like this to bring up advertisements which match the history of the videos we see.
But for YouTube, I've never experienced anything like this because I haven't even watched streaming gambling on YouTube in its entirety.

This is what I discussed earlier also that the incident could have been from the behavior of the user or one of his family using the same IP from the wifi internet at home accessing the casino or viewing casino videos on YouTube, but I can't give OP how to make arrangements about the ad and forgot how set it up, but for social media, simply delete Likes and Comments on the casino's social media account so that ads will no longer appear on social media.

I am often flooded with gambling advertisements because my younger sibling has accessed gambling sites and it happens that he uses the same internet at home, it turns out that it has an effect like an algorithm that reads activities in my house, what I search for and accesses it, it will also appear on my younger sibling's social media.

The algorithm of every social media platform is the same. They target their user based on behaviour. With behaviour they provide the company with data for advertising. The company uses that data and then starts bombarding the innocent user with advertisement. This is known fact! Why create a topic for such a thing.

These ads pop up in response to what you've been looking for on Google in the past few weeks. Something something about Google fetching your ad data and preferences which makes these gambling ads pop up, cause well, I reckon in the past few days you've been searching a lot of Gambling stuff. I had this in the past too, when I was looking for shoes, laptops, new phones, and all that. It's just the way the whole internet works now I guess. Of course you can solve this by using ad blockers, as well as disabling your ad preferences which will bring you back to seeing regular randomized ads.

Reason why it's not happening in the past but has happened a little more often nowadays is because they doubled down in this feature, and YouTube also cracked down on ad blockers which may mean that they also made sure that these ad preference features are streamlined, yielding more targeted ads than usual.

Your Youtube account's advertisements are greatly influenced by the search and engagement history of your family and other users with the same IP address. The gadget owned by my niece also supports this. We share the same IP address at home, and when I tried using my niece's tablet, I noticed a few gambling advertisements on her Youtube account.
I attempted to fix everything so that she wouldn't be intrigued by those advertisements despite her minor age because this alarms me. Nowadays, we can't really avoid gambling advertisements because they are nearly always present on most social media platforms, particularly now that many influencers are endorsing various sites. We must steer clear of and ignore them.

I have also realized this. It's not only on YouTube but when I read various articles or visit some sites, I get a lot of ads from gambling sites. The reason is that the gambling industry is improving day by day due to its expansion various ads are shown in online. Gambling company owners are now arranging to display more advertisements on online based platforms. In addition, the gambling industry has become increasingly competitive, with various streamers trying to advertise their sites by paying large amount of money.

You could argue that. I've seen a lot of industries shift to virtual anyway, so you could say that these gambling sites/casinos are banking on what they got in order to profit. OR...

OP is seeing a lot of gambling ads because of targeted advertisements. Google has this thing wherein it learns from what you search on google, or other google apps like YouTube in this case. They then derive information from this data, and from there provide the user with adverts that fall in that category. Let's take OP's case for example. He, (evidently) is a gambler, and he might've made a couple of google searches in the past few days/weeks that is related to gambling, maybe even watched a couple streamers on YouTube on the side. This is fetched by Google, and from there, had given him advertisements that are in line with what he's been looking for these past few days. If he tries to change his preferences by searching for other things tomorrow or the next day, he'd find ads and recommended videos for him change as well. That's how the algorithm works.

With more adnetworks open to crypto and gambling adverts, do you guys think that advertising in the forum will just be casino's option soon?

It had me thinking that maybe one day our source of beer money may just be over if they can reach out more especially if google allows it already.

I saw gambling ads on Youtube but didn't think it was a spike for gambling ads because, as far as I saw, there weren't too many gambling ads but I don't know I didn't pay much attention to them either. And that doesn't surprise me because I think it's normal, but they, the influencers, have to pay attention to how Youtube responds to the gambling ads they are promoting. You can also use filtering to see what ads you want to see so that the many gambling ads don't bother you later.

I also noticed this months ago , I thought this is normal because I have been checking some sites in google (but never in Youtube) but now ? indeed that I am gathering many ads time to time , that I stopped watching because of irritation .

I also try checking net about this but the answer is not enough for me to gather.

actually what I am afraid on what I see? is that some of those site advertising is from scam sites that we have accusations here in forum.

Wondering what is the main objective here and how come that they can come out with this .

Maybe you have an interest in gambling. I believe there is an AI that can monitor the pages you browse based on your interests. Personally, I never experience any advertisements while accessing YouTube because I'm using the Brave browser. So, I suggest you do the same if you don't want to be bothered by ads.

And yeah this is the reason why you see ads because you consumed contents related to the ads and it's called targetted marketing but in simple words this shows how much Google is spying their users.

To turn off the customised ads just do this in your YouTube account Settings=> Privacy => Google ads settings => Turn off (customised ads)

Hope it helps. :-*

I believed the advertisement shown per user is based on their activity, in most cases. Maybe you ended up in some specific category.

I have never ever landed yet in a gambling-related advertisement on Youtube, local or foreign, crypto or fiat, even though I'm browsing the platform every day. Mostly, general advertisements are what I'm encountering e.g products brands, commercials, infographics, etc. that are based, of course, here in our country, etc. Sometimes games related advertisements as I'm always lurking at some game streamers (not gambling-related).

Maybe you triggered Youtube's algorithm based on your recent activity that's why it shows advertisements that might be relevant to it. That's how reaching the target audience goes in marketing. I'm sure that most users will not just experience that surge of the same advertisement without any reason.

We don't need to be afraid of that because we already have knowledge about those scam casinos so if we see the advertisements on Youtube or elsewhere, we can pass them easily and will never be tempted. And even though some new casinos will follow by placing advertisements on Youtube or other places, that also won't make us interested in trying to get bonuses or whatever they offer because we have to be careful in choosing the casino.

It's good that you are curious especially when what was not happening started happening suddenly, it's part of security measures as far as I'm concerned. But for this, the effect is minimal because it's in Google service (Youtube), they are using your browsing records on Chrome and streaming records on Youtube to furnish you with ads. And it's obvious in your own case that you gamble well, search gambling-related topics or stream about it. This will surely cause them to tag you more in this regard.

Another thing is that more gambling companies might have paid Youbte for adverts recently, which they won't deny, so they have to fulfil the obligation by showing interested viewers more gambling ads.

Brave works great mobile to block any kinds of ads. If you are a pc user you can still use a chrome. Just install ad blocker plus (like I did) and you will now have a great browsing experience. There is no need to pay for youtube premium for this. That is only a waste of money and we can be able to use that money in gambling or investing.

Marketing is very important on a business so yeah, a company won't matter spending tons of money only to gain a wider audience. Youtube is popular and all sorts of videos are on this platform already. Gamblers can watch gambling videos here so gambling companies see this as a good platform to run advertisements.

One thing that protects most is adequate information, and once that is in place, anything is achievable to a gambler and you would be deceived easily by an influencer who is just out for his marketing, this is one of the main reason why they act will fade away soon since no one will be paying attention to them in the nearest future because even the newbies will grow to gain the same knowledge that can help him/her to navigate around.

In the very first place, that's not the purpose of users that is purchasing Youtube Premium lol.

They buy the premium version, not just because of ad-free but because users tend to take advantage of other features that the premium version offers.

But yes, I agree with you that there's a Google Chrome extension that is effectively working in blocking Youtube advertisements although I don't want to encourage users from installing any third-party plugins to their respective browsers without any idea of what they are doing.

I've subscribed for the YouTube premium once and I indeed agree with you, there are other features aside the no ad feature, which a premium user enjoys, I can't start mentioning them since the information is something that can easily be found with a simple Google search.

For those who mostly browse YouTube on their computer, I still no reason not installing an ad blocker if that can work effectively, and for those on mobile which is what I mostly use, brave works great, but I prefer using the Google application, there is probably no ad blocker for the app, hence, any user on the app wanting to take ad away must subscribe to premium.

Currently, when I start watching videos on YouTube channels, there are various advertisement videos from different sites. This is actually very annoying as various promotional advertisements from gambling are served in the middle of watching an important video. But one important thing is that along with these advertisements, Gambling sites provide advertisements for their business success. In this case, the success of gambling sites is that many users, especially teenagers, are addicted to gambling after watching YouTube videos, so gambling sites are constantly getting new users. But a negative role in gambling is that hundreds of students at school level are getting addicted to gambling by watching these YouTube videos, thus causing serious damage to their education.

Many beginners will see the ads on YouTube because they are looking for the videos they want and accidentally see a gambling ad. That will make them curious and want to know more so many of them start visiting the gambling sites in the ad. But unfortunately, this is not accompanied by sufficient knowledge to find legitimate and scam casinos so many of them are deceived by irresponsible influencers and only want to look for referrals. If the rookie is not aware of what he is doing, he is just depositing money into the casino without being able to withdraw the money and will surely lose all his money at the gambling table.

Downloading videos is also part of that. I have not subscribed to that yet because I don't really need it but it does have a lot of perks and that includes making it like Spotify to listen to music without any advertisements that will pop out. I say it's worth the money for those who are always on mobile and using their data while they are going to places.

About the third-party plugins, I also don't recommend those. You don't know what attacked with those applications so might as well not dip your fingers in it to avoid getting burnt. I use Youtube normally as a free user and those advertisements are part of it for them to make money so I don't mind.
In another forum that I joined, they also suggested an ad-blocker but still, I don't install it because you will never know what's in it. If you have money online, it's better to have a secured computer to avoid phishing or other evil intent to steal your information.

I don't think Google ads will allow such ad (gambling companies) much more 1xbet which are known to be a scam in the forum. This is why 1xbet only use the greedy vloggers and influencers who can risk their reputation for a nice amount of money.

There is no problem promoting these crypto casino to a non crypto related channel as that boost the adoption making people interested not only in crypto gambling but also in crypto first because this is the medium that they will be using to place a bet. It only becomes a problem if they promote a scam casino because there is no way people can win on them and their personal details can also be misused in case the casino ask a KYC.

Such in a situation a beginner indulge in gambling. Especially on sports betting sites. Those who have a little idea about sports, when they search Youtube, these ads come to the site and even add ads on the screen of the user, it is not a problem for them to enter there with just one click. But since they don't know anything they will accept fraud from scam sites. There is no alternative way to remove him from such gambling. But those who have knowledge about gambling they cannot make such mistakes.

Influencers just add up the link on what they are promoting and this is not only rampant on youtube but also on other social media platforms. What bad thing about their promotions do is they always tell to their supporters that its easy to win on those casino and they can easily generate a good income if they follow them or register on the link provided. To many newbies on other platform so for sure they are the one who can commit mistakes since there expectation is so high due to those hyping schemes what social influencers do.

That is mostly one of the reasons more governments and regulators have been closing onto this relatively new form of social media marketing. You can find an example of the implications here:

https://truthinadvertising.org/resource/social-media-influencer-disclosure-requirements/

We are not living on the same wild west internet from some years ago when anyone could say anything online without consequences, today more than ever, transparency and accountability is coming to those who have intentions to defraud their own followers for a buck.

That is why I respect those YouTubers which are honest and say they are not financial advisors and we should do our own research before buying anything.  :P
Unlike those who create their own NFT collection to sell to their viewers...

Folks, let me offer my thoughts, just for kicks. No disrespect intended, but it’s often tempting to turn to solutions like ad-blockers. They can work marvelously, like a cryptex solution revealed, but they could also be as treacherous as a trap door in a chapel floor.

Think of an ad-blocker as a high-stakes game of symbology with your computer's protection. As for plugins, they’re akin to those mysterious Templars holding the keys to your sacred vault - you might trust them, but what about those they could potentially invite in?

Contrast this with YouTube Premium - it's more like a reliable curator of your digital museum. Yes, there’s a fee, but it gifts tranquility and bonus privileges such as downloads and background play. Additionally, it supports our content creators - think of it as a contribution to their artistic creation.

Probably that could be the reason too, since once you watch those kinds of ads in YouTube, more ads related to that will popped in your screen. Not just in gambling but even in some other activities. But the important thing here is you will never entertain and gamble the site if it’s strange to you or you don’t even know if it’s legit or not. A lot of scammers have been rampant these days so always chose to gamble at the most reputable and legit sites.

Honestly, it is not only on YouTube.
I can even find several advertisements for gambling sites, especially slots, on several social media, online games, and several paid applications intensively. I once installed an online novel platform, and there are several videos that we need to watch to get coins to read, and most of the ads are gambling ads, both local and global platforms.
This means that online gambling has indeed greatly increased among the public so that more and more platforms have emerged.

Only caution can keep them away from scam casinos and not fall for the offers they see. But usually, after getting a scam casino, those aware of it will try to improve themselves so they don't get scammed again. And they also will not carelessly click on the ads because they have learned from previous experiences. But that's not for those who never learn from experience and can even be deceived repeatedly by the many advertisements they see. Only a few can survive by avoiding such deceptive advertisements, while others will suffer losses.

Nowadays advertisements come in such a way that one cannot be avoided even if one wants to skip. He has to skip after watching at least a few seconds. And within this little time a new person can join gambling. Yes, awareness is the only way a gambler can be financially protected. But those who don't know about gambling have nothing to do for those who are completely new. But those who are at least knowledgeable about the various sites, who have heard something about online fraud, may be able to exercise some caution, but many are trapped by the scammers attract.

Maybe it's all happening because more and more gambling advertisers are implementing their ads on the YouTube platform. Because if many gambling advertisers enter the YouTube platform, it is certain that the advertisements that are scattered before showing the video are gambling advertisements. I think maybe the number of advertisements is happening because there are more and more gambling fans. But it's also possible that you will get a lot of gambling advertisements, because before that you saw a video containing gambling. So all the ads that YouTube directs you dominate contain ads about gambling. And it seems that it's not only on YouTube that there are more and more gambling advertisements. But on other platforms it also seems the same.

Video ads will always depend on your previous activities, so if you do search a lot about gambling then expect your ads to more about gambling. Google and youtube are quiet connected and other social media platform, they have the system to detect your activities and if you allow it, expect to receive more ads. Gambling ads is not ideal for underage and I'm hoping that these ads are being regulated enough so that the user of every platform with age of below 18 will not be exposed to gambling.

That's how the YouTube algorithm works where user habits, for example, have accessed gambling sites, gambling advertisements will appear everywhere, not only on YouTube, even on your social media, the ad will appear and you will get it, that's why I never access gambling sites on my laptop so no gambling ads have ever appeared on my YouTube. so everything is clean.

I also think user habits are the main factor for the emergence of unwanted advertisements, especially now that there are many new gambling sites so they place advertisements everywhere to reach users including OP who may have accessed gambling sites because he is already considered their target market.

I've seen a couple of them on YouTube and elsewhere on some other websites too, but if you've been seeing that way too much lately it could indicate that you've been engaging in gambling during that time as well. I mean you mentioned that you've been watching several streamers gambling which could have an impact on the ads you receive IMO.

Nowadays, marketing relies on smart tools that precisely knows exactly your interests allowing them to display ads related to those interests across various platforms, such on (Instagram, Facebook, Twitter... etc)

No coincidence. There is a reason for that.

Since gambling-related advertisements are now hype, users who tend to watch gambling-related videos or being a follower of a famous streamers who streamed gambling are being targeted by these advertisements.

Anyways, just curious here, can you named the platform being advertised? I'm also watching some gambling-related videos recently but not receiving tons of gambling advertisements. Still no changes to those usual ads that I encountered.

Not just in YouTube alone mate because you can also see these kinds of ads across any known social media platform that is sponsored by a specific gambling platform. I can notice its surge as it's been frequently shown while I'm scrolling, and it has been advertised by almost all known influencers in my country which gave the platform more clients every single day because of the video that looks really too good to be true.

^Every platform has its own algorithm, it is possible that you may have inadvertently triggered a higher frequency of gambling ads by watching videos related to streamer's gambling. Since YouTube's algorithms take into account your viewing history and preferences, it is not uncommon to see an increase in ads related to content you have previously engaged with.
However, if you find the frequency of gambling ads on YouTube to be excessive or bothersome, you can consider adjusting your ad preferences. YouTube provides options for personalized ad settings, where you can provide feedback on ads you find irrelevant or repetitive. This feedback helps the platform refine its ad targeting algorithms and improve the overall ad experience for users.

An ad blocker will only block the ads that are displayed on a webpage and it cannot do anything about the ads that are shown in a video like they do on YouTube. You can filter out YouTube ads with an ad blocker nor you can do that with Brave, the only solution is to buy YouTube Premium if you don't want to see any ads and have an ad-free experience.

When we talk about business, it is also what YouTube or Google is doing with these ads, it is their business, they charge other businesses to run their business and we are the target audience of those businesses paying Google or YouTube to show us these ads.

This is how it works, the moment you search for something it will come to your account even if you are not looking for that anymore. Try to search a watch on your social account, and every sponsored post will be shared to your profile so you will get attracted on that, and this can also the system of the ads. There’s an option in Youtube to limit the post to minors so most probably they will not receive any gambling ads not unless that user fake his age in Youtube so he will continue to watch many videos legally.

That's odd because I cannot remember seeing gambling odds on Youtube. Most of the time my television is turned on and mostly on Youtube. Not a single betting advertisement for nearly 2 years.

On my computer I use Brave as my browser so there are no advertisements. Sometimes I still use Chrome for Youtube but still I cannot remember seeing any gambling advertisements.

Usually it is based on the algorithm and your location. I used Brave and since it automatically blocked advertisements on Youtube I cannot find one. But I do remember seeing gambling advertisements on Facebook.

I do think that this is how cookies work. Technology has a certain way of knowing your previous searches to match your current taste and suggestions. This is also the reason on why once you search something on Google, lots of ads on Facebook would be shown which is relevant to what you searched for.

For example, I remember looking for a bag and checking the design of it on Google. After searching, I went to Facebook and suddenly, lots of ads selling the exact bag on what I searched for, popping-out as an advertisement on Faceobok.

The same concept applies to Youtube as well that once you search for gambling-related items, lots of those ads would suddenly pop out out of nowhere and it really bothers me to the point that they can do this.

For a long I've been seeing gambling ads getting popped on YouTube and other social media. Recently ban was imposed on gambling platforms and the same had made it get lower. However the gambling platforms continue its service in the name of games. Now the next set of development is games which can be played placing bets. The most common being the Ludo.

Youtube will adjust what you see often, so there will be a difference between each other. If I were you, I wouldn't problem because that automatically adds our reference. And maybe next, if you want to be specific about what appears in ads, you must watch frequently crypto gambling or what you like. And, is better to create a new Google account just to watch it, so if you are bored, you can use your old Google account to make gambling ads disappear on your PC or TV.

Those who often experience fraud should not be easily fooled for the umpteenth time because they have experience knowing fraudulent casino sites. But unfortunately, the temptation to get a bigger bonus keeps them trying even though in their hearts they know that it's a fraud. But they hope that this time they will not be fooled again because they still think that something is different about the casino site. The fraudulent advertisements on social media or Youtube that they see are not much different from the previous ones but because the temptation is too good, they get caught up in the scam.

That is done through cookies, every website has cookies and you agree with them to collect information and details about what you click and what you use, or what you watch mostly on that particular website, and websites and services exchange information with each other for monetary gains which makes you a target for a specific brand that is advertising a particular product on that platform.

It is a very simple yet complex system that is running everywhere these days. I've even heard that if you are chatting with a friend and you mention that you want to buy shoes, you will start receiving advertisements for shoes after that. That is how much the level of marketing has increased.

In general, as far as I know youtube, tiktok etc. it's a little strange with the ads that appear, what we often watch, that's what often comes out, sometimes the ads are annoying, but it is a must and obligation for the YouTube Channel, because the money flows from the ads.

Gambling advertisements, indeed they often appear on YouTube, TikTok etc., because I think that advertising is a part of YouTube, so I ignore it, I often ignore these gambling advertisements, but I didn't count in one round of the video how many gambling advertisements came out, what is clear is that gambling advertisements often appear.

There's nothing surprising about that. Youtube is one of the most famous platforms, watched anywhere in the world where there is a stable Internet connection. Advertising allows you to monetize the work of bloggers and stylists. In my opinion, advertising is one of the most common marketing practices that works very well and allows you to attract new customers to the product. So someone who doesn't want to pay for content has to watch advertising. And this is quite normal.

Yes, that is a natural thing because on YouTube there are many active users who can view gambling advertisements at any time. There are even many streamers who use YouTube as their media, offering gambling referrals and showing their broadcasts playing gambling on the casino site that he offers.
Games that can be played by placing bets seem quite interesting and provide their own characteristics, but I'm not sure they can be developed immediately for now.
I myself have never seen Ludo playable in online gambling and I don't think casinos will add this one game.

Yeah, many people switch to youtube nowadays maybe because streaming in youtube because they can earn more in that platform and it will help them to monetize their channel easily because many people will see gambling ads they will try to stream that and I am sure people will be interested to see some influential people in yt gamble.

If i'm not mistaken, ever since Youtube uplifted its ban on gambling ads, that's how whenever you are watching any of these kinds of videos (i.e gambling related, investment related or how to make money related videos), you will always come across those ads, of which I think maybe this period you might have been watching more of either of those 3 kinds of videos often for you to have been shown more of gambling ads, which I have also noticed about Facebook recently displaying gambling and the very ads I noticed the most is "Coin master".

Several social apps, namely Facebook, YouTube, twitter and the likes do have a way they monitor what  a user is most interested and is searching on the internet, that which you are most interested in and have searched on the internet is what you are likely to start seeing on different ads when you visit any site that allows ad.

So personally, the best way to avoid ads i believe is to stop searching on the internet, and this is mostly not possible for several internet users, but all the same, the ads aren't bad, for it is everywhere, if we don't see the internet ones, we will definitely see the physical ones.

Of course, more and more advertising is being made to gamble. But I think gambling recvloes themselves are not allowed with the ads of gambling in Youtube. I think that you should think more about advertising through influencers, it is not prohibited there, although the rules differ per country. Many advertisements are indirect advertisements for gambling. And social media is nowadays a very powerful channel to advertise and it is used a lot.

Are you bothered by the gambling advertisement, i advise you to have lots of YouTube accounts so that the videos that are recommended to you are not just gambling sites.  As far as i know, YouTube will give you advertisements based on what you often watch, and when you often watch gambling streamers, YouTube will automatically recommend gambling sites ^{(there's nothing wrong with just skipping the ad)} that advertise themselves on Google for most of the videos you watch. 

What is clear for sure is that a streamer does advertising or broadcasts gambling streams which he does because he can get more profit.
The first is from YouTube itself, he can get a certain amount of payment if he already has a lot of followers plus from the referrals that are shared if many people use it, you can be sure that the bonus from the referrals is also quite large.
YouTube is still free for gambling advertising and live streaming and we can see for ourselves that more and more people are using YouTube as their media for gambling advertising.

I use a Android smartphone and a desktop PC, I have noticed that what we look for using google search engine will impact how our phones react in giving out information, news and advertisements, it's like those gadgets are build in a way that they know their users better than anyone, once I look into Chelsea football club, my prebuilt news app will always give me updates about Chelsea football club and important information going on with the football club.

What you use your gadgets for will be the way it will function on the users behalf, It doesn't take a thing to find out if your friends are fraudsters or por* addicts, just get a hold of their phone of PC, without looking into their search or browser history you will know what they have been up too.

Are you kidding me or am I missing something??? I never knew that YouTube blocked gambling ads, neither did I know that Facebook do the same thing. This is because I always receive gambling and trading ads on my YouTube page, which might be because I gamble and trade often on my phone. You might not be doing this before or you might be in a country where regulators ban it as am so sure that YouTube didn't block such in my country, though I am not so much a fan of Facebook, I might not observe that there.

Also, the earnings of these companies have reduced in recent years and I believe they are making more efforts to bring in income, that's even as they sack more workers for the gains of the companies to increase. Such companies could still abandon their initial sanity of refining adverts in some countries too.

that's true (fall into the entertainment category), but not all streamers can make money from their videos on youtube when youtube knows that the content he makes is a video when he plays gambling

As long as you don't often do searches about gambling, you don't need to worry about recommended ads from YouTube, besides, many countries don't prohibit gambling ads on online platforms or social media

Previously the gambling ads were prohibited on the YouTube but if they had lifted this restriction then it's another story. I guess if you watch any gambling videos only then you may see those ads because I haven't witness it yet.

However my question is that is it a good decision for the YouTube to display such ads because gambling is considered as a risky game and if these ads are being shown frequently it may have some negative impact on the society. However the gambling sites will never mind it getting the business promoted through ads.

Gambling adverts are some of the highest paying - similar to insurance or medical stuff, because they have some of the biggest commissions around. Lots of people are trying to push these adverts with the aim to convert them into paying customers. Both the companies themselves and the affiliate marketers who work for them have a lot of money invested. I suspect that Google have re-evaluated their policies and determined that the legal risks have subsided, or they have built in mechanisms to limit the risk. They also have some of the most sophisticated visitor tracking in the world, so would be able more than anyone else, to identify who it is legal to show this type of advertising towards.

Ever get that weird feeling that your devices kinda get you? It's like they're psychic, right? But, all that ease ain't free, folks.
Every click, search, and like is a piece of your digital puzzle. It's kinda like your secret diary but in techie gibberish. Looking up your fav footie team or the next hot stock, your tech's taking notes. But is it all just chill, or is there something darker brewing?

Now, think what if your info lands in the wrong inbox. Could be some sneaky hacker or a nosy buddy. They'd not just know your biz but know you. Sorta like handing over the keys to your world, innit? Gives you the creeps, right? Shouldn't we have more say in who gets a peek into our digital lives?

YouTube and similar platforms tailor their ads based on your browsing habits. If you are using a browser which you have history about gambling, search gambling related terms in Google/YouTube, and generally visit a lot of gambling related websites, then you can expect YouTube to tailor its ads based on your browsing habits. That's just how the algorithm works.

In terms of YouTube permitting it...we are in a slowing economy. Rules tend to loosen to keep business going and money coming in. Especially in marketing.

Yes, you are right because it all comes from user habits, I have never accessed gambling sites on my laptop browser so I have never seen any gambling advertisements except for crypto ads because I use my work in crypto using a laptop browser, but as far as I know OP can limit such ads by resetting settings for restricted ads from being seen and annoyed with it.

I also sometimes use additional third-party applications in my browser to block ads so that everything works safely as long as I surf and never get disturbed by any ads, let alone gambling. OP can also use third party applications such as ad blockers if they are annoying.

As I've said many times before, if gambling and sports betting ads are banned in one space, we will clearly see it in another - and it seems to me the Internet, since the Internet is frequented by a very diverse audience and ads can be personalized, unlike ads on athletes' T-shirts. Even if you disable advertising in Youtube (that's how Youtube is now working in Russia), it doesn't mean that you won't see gambling advertisements, because many youtubers are sponsored by casinos and bookmakers and advertise them by themselves.

I haven't seen any gambling ads like ads but there are now a lot of big youtubers gambling in casions on youtube live. They are getting big numbers and got sponsored from various casinos.

But Youtube is still a place to look for tutorials or lessons we want to find, so many people still do that search. That is why many advertisements still appear even though people do not want them. But perhaps, they can avoid it by clicking on the ad but of course, they should be able to resist the temptation to avoid it. Another place influencers can use is Facebook; even if I remember correctly, I've seen it on TikTok or SnapChat. So we must pay attention and filter what we want to find and see and not be easily tempted by advertisements.

Google advertisement are based on searches made using the search engine and YouTube. It is a combination of your overall usage of Google ecosystem. As long as you use thier ecosystem they will capture all your data and accordingly show you the ads. No they can't be avoided by clicking the ads. If you click the ads they will start repeating them more. The only way to do it is to reset the advertisement. Obviously the more you avoid such content the lesser you will view related advertising.

Yeah, it will give you recommendations according to how you visit and how you view some ads, it's annoying but nothing can be done it's been part by the system and the recommendations will keep coming as the program was design to give recommendation for much quicker access, the problem is when you visit certain website especially those gambling related website you will see more and more recommendation that have same concept and business offers.

It would really be indeed basing up on what you do surf or watch out on which those recommendations would really be piling up and this is the way on where SEO does with that recommendation system which would

really be that relevant of a certain viewer and on this way they would be able to hook up that specific audiences basing on their surfing habits and this is why it isnt really that shocking that we would really be seeing those ads. This is why on the time that there's an ad which is really that something that includes into our interest then we might click it out or would really be just seeing it and this is the modern advertisement
that we do have today and if you do find out that its totally irrelevant  then you would really be simple be able to skip it or does even have the option for you to report its irrelevance.
This is why its not really that a shocking condition though.

Yes, it's true YouTube did actually banned all ads related to gambling (both online & offline), and that was in June 2021 (i.e 2yrs ago) for a period of some months before later uplifting such ban base on reasons best known to them, because how I got to know about this info is simply because that was the period I started my YouTube channel growth and I was always updated on all it's policies that period unlike now that I hardly visit YouTube.

Statement by Youtube given below:

This is why I use incognito when I search for something or watch YouTube videos but I forget it sometimes so, I typically browse with the normal browsers that have cache/cookies recorded on them, and then eventually, I'll get to see the ads, and videos related to what I've most recently watched.
They may not be related to gambling ads but the most recent videos or searches that we do is what they'll throw us with the ads that they have.

Avoid typing keywords that are related to the ads that you're annoying or when you do, use incognito or browsers that don't have these ads. There are browsers that are helpful when it's to these ad-blocking features. Or if not, download those adblockers for your sake to avoid these ads coming out to your browser.

Whenever i do make use of certain browsers whether Chrome, Firefox, ME,Brave or Opera. I do really make use of incognito or private window on which it wont really be saving up cookies or histories on what you had

searched out on which you wouldnt really be able to see those irrelevant ads that you arent really that liking to see. Its true that it is really that sometimes that irritating on the time that their appearance is already that
more than as usual which is something that a common case on where these ads is showing knowing that companies would really be that aggressive on the time that they would be able to see some potential
customer or a specific audience. If you dont like totally having those ads specially on some sites then you could always have that ad blocker but if we do speak about youtube and
other social media platforms then there's no way on avoiding those things.

You are right, though not gambling related, I remember that in several occasions, I've search for something on Aliexpress for example, an Item I wish to buy, only to return later to YouTube, facebook and start seeing ads on that particular product I searched for..

This is also the same thing that happens with gambing as well, some times, I try to find out some things happening in the gambling world, so I head to Google and type the keyword "latest gambling updates, news", and later during that day, I return to YouTube to start watching gambling related ads in-between videos, I must confess its really annoying most times, but that is simply the internet, nothing much can really be done.

Incognito browsing is great for the most part since it keeps your cookies from being traced (cookies are basically what they call 'internet trackers' which are the tiny bits of data that tells the site a lot about the user), but it still doesn't shield you from the gambling ads altogether. The best way you could really rid yourself of these pesky advertisements is through the use of ad blockers which they themselves blocks all ads, saving you the trouble of ever worrying about getting cut off from that stuff you're watching on Youtube by some unrelated advertisement. Plus using an ad blocker also disallows these sites from getting your cookies, and since you don't need to go incognito your search history is saved, which is especially helpful for people who tend to go back and forth on some sites and pages.

there are a lot of adblockers that are free of charge and some do, but still, those are good investments tho. ads were a normal part of youtube, that is also how they can market their premium subscription so they can remove ads. In short, you can use tools such as other adblockers or you can also use other other browsing sites other done google chrome.

I use a Android smartphone and a desktop PC, I have noticed that what we look for using google search engine will impact how our phones react in giving out information, news and advertisements, it's like those gadgets are build in a way that they know their users better than anyone, once I look into Chelsea football club, my prebuilt news app will always give me updates about Chelsea football club and important information going on with the football club.

What you use your gadgets for will be the way it will function on the users behalf, It doesn't take a thing to find out if your friends are fraudsters or por* addicts, just get a hold of their phone of PC, without looking into their search or browser history you will know what they have been up too.

That's how invasive all these social media platforms and search engines have become, they use us to run their businesses and our privacy is not of their concern at all because we give them the right to do whatever they want with us because we always agree with their terms and conditions and agree with them at the time of registration.

Cookies used by websites and apps track our activities and then use that to provide us with news and updates and advertisements based on our searches which are considered to be our interests, our interests are even sold to other companies so that they can target us for selling their products.

Ad blockers do not work on mobile devices unless you use a browser such as Brave and others. Yes, a premium subscription would stop any advertisement but why do you need it? As I have said earlier it's your behavior with Google that determines those advertisements. Another way to stop those advertisements is to log out of Youtube and log in with new credentials. If not then you need to follow what I have said earlier.

I guess what you meant is to log-out your Gmail account, and long in a different one, right? Because you need to understand that it's the Gmail is the same as a "Google account" and a "Youtube channel", which all works together as one. And instead of doing that, I have an easier way to stop such targeted ads from displaying on your device (i.e both mobile & desktop) and that has to do with clearing the cache of your mobile device which contains the history of all the information you may have search before about on the forum.

And that can be done by just going the the "Settings" option of your smartphone, select "Apps & management" and then select your YouTube app and clear the cache.

We do have a choice and that's a lot of option to make if we want to get rid of these ads whether they're gambling related or not. This is how these companies are tracking us and throwing us the ad that's for us.

Yep, there is nothing we can do about that but use those ad blockers or browsers that automatically disable those ads. That's how they make money and that's why our data is important to them.

Yeah, it may not protect you wholly but at least that's the least that one can do. Those that don't want to download ad blockers or don't like to change their browsers, they can rely to incognito to at least not track what they're searching for and it won't be saved.

I don't think logging out will work if the user keeps on watching gambling-related streams and videos. Still, either logged in or logged out, Youtube will still follow its own system to let that user be exposed to some gambling-platforms related advertisements and stuff.

You can check it for yourself, don't log any accounts on the Youtube platform, and see the video recommendations while browsing for quite some time. That will also be applied to what advertisement/s should be shown while the said user is currently streaming on the platform.

Although honestly, I will admit I've never seen a gambling-related advertisement yet even once here in our region.

Maybe not just depending on user activities but also on the number of available gambling ads in the region as obviously, gambling ads that were based from other countries won't be supposed to be shown to other countries.

Yeah, personally, I've been using an ad blocker which seems to work really fine on my laptop before the laptop broke down, but then such facility is not available on mobile devices, most especially those who rarely visit sites like YouTube, Facebook, Twitter and so on through a web Browser, but essentially depend on their native mobile applications to access those platforms, like myself, I only use a browser to access sites without application, if the site have an app on the app store, I always find it much more convenient to use the app.

I'm not.  I actually don't recall ever seeing a gambling ad on youtube.  Maybe it is a result of your location?  Here in the United States, maybe online gambling isn't quite as accepted as in other places so maybe they don't allow gambling ads for those in this jurisdiction yet?  The ads I get are typically for large companies or small content creators trying to grow their audience.  I am curious if you are outside the US and where exactly you are that you are being fed these types of advertisements.  It also could be the result of you actually using online gambling platforms from your current location.  I tend to take gambling trips when I engage in this behavior so maybe I'm just not identified by youtube as a gambler.

You are experiencing that because you have been targeted by advertisers as you fit into the user segment being that you already streamed several gambling videos. Your data has been farmer by YouTube and fed to the advertisers so that they can keep bugging you with the ads until you click on them and play at their casino or until you find a way to make it stop.

I think this ads are force down on peoples throat, they want to make money but not at the expense of personalizing users data but I don't blame them because we live in a society where we don't care about our privacy, I believe Google and YouTube have thousands of users data in tbe sense that if they wish to cause chaoss, it will take them a minute to get it started and the word would easily enter another world war.

There was a time I do used the premium YouTube where I don't see Ads because I love using my phone to watch tutorials then but as I began to learn privacy protection, I stopped and I now use VPN, incognito mode and ad block, I think with these, it will help minimize my exposure with their games.

Well, I see it more often now compared to before, but it's a common thing to happen. Gambling sites are just ramping up their business to help gain more customers, because that's always the purpose of it, to attract new ande more customers with those ads, and this is not just common on YouTube videos; it's also both on Facebook, although I have not really been so active on Twitter to know if it extend to there too. But it really sucks 😔 to get those ads pupping up and obstructing ones video.

In todays era on which no matter how you do mind yourself on trying out to avoid those gathering information out of these companies or whatsoever but there are really moments which we can inevitably comply or expose about identity or something that talks about in correlation to that on which having no choice but to dealt up with it. Yes, there are really having those kind of opportunities or features but of course you would really be needing up to pay more for such thing and this is where they do really make more revenue. There are people who are really that keen on not liking to see those ads and this is why they do add up that premium thing.

Speaking about those ads then it would be everywhere. We do simply skip it out and doesnt mind nor bothering yourself that much. If you do make yourself that get uncomfortable then you could always opt to get out
and dont engage with it but it these things turns out to be irritating then you could always have the option on closing it out and continue on what you are doing as simple as that.

Hey guy, gambling ads are like virus appearing to any YouTube videos watched in my device. They are sometimes they even installed themselves in the phone and once I noticed that they have been installed in the phone I would just uninstalled them in the phone. They are really disturbing me whenever I login into YouTube and other site to watch and download movies. The most common ads that were disturbing were 1xbit and 1xbet. These two ads were like demon to me. But is like this days they are not disturbing like that again.

There are some available browsers that can be used in a mobile to avoid these ads if you don't want them. Just as suggested by the others about these browsers like Brave, you're free to download it or just download another ad blocker that you do trust.
So, whether you use desktop or mobile, you'll be avoiding these ads because they're really annoying when they pop everywhere and use browsers that don't keep your cookies or niches because they give you the ads that's based on your browsing history.

Yeah, I would agree about the surge. But I see more gambling ads everywhere and anywhere. Not only just Youtube. I guess we are just going to have to find a way to live in this world filled with tracking advertisements and data collection by AI means. I do not think that there is anything we can do against it, as long as we live in a free market. You should try using anti-ad apps like uBlock Origin. Also you can use a search engine that does not collect data from you (Google does it). You can also use a VPN, which will is not a method to fight against ads but rather you will not be psychologically profiled and targeted. You will probably only see random ads with a VPN. As long as you are careful with your data.

That can be considered as well. Most VPNs today have built-in ad-blocking software which is primarily designed to get rid of any advertisements for the benefit of their users. But since Youtube are surely and technically aware of that, not an assurance that some VPNs can likely bypass the advertisement shown while streaming on the Youtube platform.

I also don't think it's convenient anymore that I will reach the point where I will use a third-party tool just to block Youtube advertisements if, on the other hand, I really like the videos that I'm watching. It's also a form of support if users will not block the ads if they really a supporter of that Youtube channel.

For casual Youtube viewers that don't know some technical ways to get rid of Youtube advertisements, the platform is not for you if you are too sensitive about ad-free videos where in fact, you are streaming it there for free in the first place.

If the content creator you watch has other methods so you can support them financially, like a patreon or a premium subscription to their channel, then you can do so and still use a third party software of Youtube client to avoid seeing intrusive advertisements while enjoying your videos.

If they do not have one of those options, then it is weird, because most of Youtubers nowadays either have some crowdfunding account on either Patreon of Kofi or accept the help of sponsors, so they can continue to monetize their content.

The content creator has an option to stream on other unpopular platform too because Youtube and Twitch are really strict. Yeah most streamers are have Patreon or a premium subscription, don't forget they also give their referral link for poor people who want to support him but don't want to send any money.

However it depends on the streamer agreement with the casino, the casino can force the streamer to not use crowdfunding account since they've paid the streamer.

The ads you see on any platform depend on what you surf on that particular platform, whether it's YouTube, Google, Facebook, or any other platform. They track your activities through cookies and then use those cookies to show you personalized ads based on your interests which in this case are related to what keywords you've searched or what kind of videos and pictures you've interacted with.

It might be frustrating but that's what it is, if we don't want to see those ads, we will obviously need to clear the cache and cookies of our apps and browsers and try not to interact with videos or posts of the nature that we don't want to see anymore.

You need to remember that YouTube still gives freedom to advertise and broadcast gambling streams and those streamers who broadcast gambling who already have large enough followers can also make quite a large amount of money from YouTube.
If not, it's impossible for streamers to be able to play with large numbers of bets because they also know that it takes a lot of capital to play to get big wins so they can broadcast their bets for quite a long time.

Yes, it is clear that some countries do not prohibit gambling advertising on some social media because of the tax that is given, so even though these countries prohibit gambling, they still allow advertising like that on YouTube or other social media.

You're right, once they got hold of your preference you most like whenever you're online, they direct their ads in those categories and this make it very crucial for us to always clear our cookies if we don't want to be involved in any means they use in tracking us online, then we should be mindful of the sites we visited and also take good care of what what offer we received from any online means of advertisements through the use of ads regardless of the platform it's coming from.

Nothing wrong to see such thing since even if you do that still you can see such ads like that since many influencers inserting their gambling ads on their video. Its still up to us on how we deal those ads since if we got curious about what we see then maybe this is the start on our participation on gambling. If we already in situation where we like to play its better to lower down our expectations and make sure that we can always control ourself and always know our limit so that we will not heading into bad situation like addiction.

     -   If that's because of the youtube streamer, as long as the channel is monetized, you can really expect ads to appear there. Because that's one of the monetized youtube channels.

Sometimes that can be irritating, but for other gamblers, when something like that happens, it also attracts them. Even playing gambling and it's normal because that's where they make money anyway.

The channels are monetize in most cases but they don't consider the interest of the people that they will just send in pop up ads on the screen that one will be left with nothing than to click, if one could be a gambler and often receives gambling ads would have been better a little better than receiving ads on areas one is not interested about, i just which there's a way you can totally disabled any display of ads whenever you're online.

Well, yes, most channels are really monetize which is the reason why they can display such ads to generate additional income. Their target is to let their audience see the good side of gambling and how it works. Basically, you'll see the tip of gambling world or how these games are done to potentially profit in the long run. I've stumbled upon many of these already. Sometimes the ads is in between or at the end of the video. There are even times wherein the so-called influencers and vloggers are the one promoting it instead of putting an actual advertisement.

This is why people should be always on their guard whenever browsing social media or internet in general. Because you can't really make yourself excluded from these comparing to what you can do in casino sites. Being able to stop your urge will do matter a lot in this instances.

I think that increased number of gambling ads you see during YouTube sessions is because you have been visiting gambling pages or watch gambling content on YouTube. Google algorithms never show random ads. All of our devices and pages we visit collect information about us. Based on that, google give us specific ads. That is why there is no increase, but OP is too much involved into gambling.

I am not saying you are wrong, but over here in my country, there are a lot of monetary agents and loan platforms. Any time I long on to YouTube, I see countless of those ads, particularly from those loan platforms and apps interrupting my video. I really do wonder why it must be those loan apps that keep interrupting my video. So the thing here is that I don't even interact with anything related to loans or those bank stuffs, but they keep coming up. If I should even expect those ads, they should majorly be about crypto-related stuffs.



Almost every one of these sites now has cookies that save some activities and search words we use while browsing, just as @wiss19 has said. I know about the cookies, though, before I was not convinced that those ads do pop up because of those cookies and cache. But I really know that YouTube has just been dependent on infusing ads on their videos, weather cookies or no cookies. I still remember when I went to YouTube on a new device to watch some videos,, they still displayed some ads, but there is one payment feature now on YouTube where you have to pay so that those ads don't pop up any more, and unless you pay, you will still be seeing those ads despite clearing your cookies. Or maybe the rate of pop-up ads will reduce compared to usual if one keeps clearing their cache and cookies.

On that note, it's better that way compared to receiving ads that you are not interested if you are a gambler, but then again, it's much better if you can choose whatever ads you want unlike what happened nowadays where you will see those ads and irritate you, it's a system that automate this advertisement, programs that automatically alert viewers and recommend those ads for possible interest/visits.

Having an ads while streaming in YouTube is not really a big deal and yes, having a third-party tool just for the reason to block these ads will be nonsense. Just treat it as a support and help towards the owner of the channel you're watching into because that is also their way to get paid and if it's not because of their uploads, we will not see the videos that we're looking for.

And if we still don't want to see these ads, we have 2 options. First is, we can always wait for a mere 5 seconds before we can skip it. Only 5 seconds, that's all what it takes to continue the videos we're watching. Second, we can always buy the premium for less than $3 per month to have an ad-free videos.

We can't choose ads to appear to the videos we watch but sometimes I get a survey related to ads if I've seen something that they're looking for specifically.

But, I don't answer those surveys they pop because I know that it's another way for them to gather data and that's how they're gonna feed me with ads that they've got ready for me.

I hope that we can choose ads but it's not like that. That's automatically set by them and it will depend on what niche you're watching on their platforms.

The problem in smaller and less popular streaming platforms, even though they are less strict with rules, is that some streamers may be forced by circumstances to stay pegged to a single website, perhaps due to contract with the sponsors.

I knew a case about a streamer I liked to watch, who was banned from Twitch and got a really hard time to continue to get sponsors, considering he was trying to move his activities to Facebook/Meta.

If YouTube had not become so "family friendly", they would still have the dominance/monopoly over the streaming market, but their policies scared streamers away.

Yes, by providing your insight with that kind of survey you'll giving them ideas what kind of advertisement to bring to your screen, though we really can't avoid them but we can continue ignoring it and take it as part of your visit, I mean just avoid clicking anything and allow yourself just to watch what you need to watch, nothing to do with those recommendations as it won't harm you as long as you are not doing minding them while watching or visiting the site that you really need to visit.

Most likely this is the result of the YouTube algorithm determining this is something in which you could be interested and now it is feeding you a lot of those ads, since I really doubt that YouTube is somehow pushing for more gambling ads or that gambling companies have out of nowhere decided to increase their advertising budget at the same time, and if those ads are bothering you that much maybe it is time that you use an ad blocker and forget about those ads for good.

They are free but it does not mean they are that bad. I've been using some of them for a long time now and I never see a single ad interrupts me. It works like a charm. It's another story if I visit a site where they request me to turn off my Ad-Blocker. It's a way of supporting them for accessing their contents for free. There are better investments than these Ad-Blockers. Investments which will make your money grow. Of course cryptocurrencies are going to be on our top list.

Every platform has an AD and so as in Youtube but there is just content creators who are abusive and put lots of ADS on their videos. They think doing so will earn them thousands or even millions of cash. They did not know that it could cause annoyance to viewers and they will only skip those ADS or worse they will unsubscribe, ignore or report the uploader.

I think there use to be an option that will ask you to enable cookies while launching into some websites, also we can always clear the history to this and empty as well the cache on the browser we are using, honestly some ads could be as weird as launching you into their content without even waiting for you to click on them, thry usually comes along while you're opening a website opened together, though I've also seen some YouTube ads that will demand you to skip them after 5 seconds which they would have advertised their content as well using your own data.

Well, it's possible that Youtube feels that there is a decrease in revenue in advertising, so Youtube places gambling advertisements on each user's account. And we can only block it by using the filter provided for us so that at least the ads displayed in each video can match the video we are watching.

And we don't need to focus on those ads and it's better to just look for the videos we want. That way, we won't be tempted by the gambling advertisements we see and can prevent ourselves from playing gambling in casinos that we don't know.

Youtube Revenue are not generated that way, people give ads for Youtube to run it for them, they cannot decide to run ads without payment from any company or when they are not instructed to make awareness in their platform, the algorithm might be the cause maybe even a bug might have been the reason why the increase in the gambling ads since they know that the US is fighting alternative way to reduce gambling advertisement everywhere and not just US alone, other countries are concern by the rise of gambling ads everywhere, they know that this companies are making money from it and players are the ones who usually make the lost at the end of the day, the gambling house always win at the end.

I agree, the one who wants to be  advertised are the one who will pay a huge sum of payment to YouTube. Knowing that YouTube is one of the best platform to use now to engage and reach more people, we cannot deny the fact that obviously people will use the platform, it is a little amount to be spend for the return of people who will watch the ads and will go to their website to play. Even a little banner in yt or in another platform are useful for advertising.

That's the way to go and that's to ignore them.

We're using their platforms and they're the ones who has authority to show what they want to show. There have been solutions pointed by many members here and if someone wants to avoid them, that's all you need to do.

Whatever you feed to them, they'll also feed you with what you're watching and they're earning for the ads and while these services are for free. The main thing here is that we are actually their product.

Well, maybe that's how it works, but in the end, people who have advertised their sites on Youtube will use different keywords so that their ads can appear on Youtube. And maybe that's what the casino owner and his team are using so that the casino can promote on Youtube again or there really is a bug in the Youtube algorithm they use to promote their site. We also don't know how gambling advertisements can increase again than before because I agree with you that gambling advertisements can make people curious and want to try them. And this goes against countries' wishes to reduce gambling advertising so that people are not tempted to gamble.

But it doesn't seem like some kind of different keywords but some kind of special program or paying some tax to be able to advertise smoothly and always appear on the YouTube page.
It's no wonder because YouTube itself is one of the social media that can be used to get a number of sizable benefits.
Maybe some countries suppress gambling advertisements so that more people don't gamble, but if advertising is on social media, it will be more difficult for the country's government to suppress it, especially on YouTube, because YouTube is one of the social media that is easily accessed by anyone and in the country anywhere.

I don't know how it exactly works but I think that the ads market on Youtube, like how you can place your ads on Youtube, works like a normal marketplace and the highest paying bid wins the advertisement slot. Since casinos are making tons of money they will also be able to place the highest bids. But since Google tracks everything anyway I am sure that there is some increase in casino ads for some people when they also visit casino websites. This has happened to me with all kinds of things from everyday life. This can be tech gadgets or food or whatever else, but casinos placing ads pay a lot of money and they want to see conversion rates. That is Youtube's business model. Channel the ads to people who are more likely to click on it.

Definitely they make a revenue generation through this ads, we are not just seing them appearing like that for free, money is being paid also to reserve them the space to advertise through ads, that's why you find out that many of this ads were from gambling or other big organizations who are able to run their ads for quite a longer subscription time whereby their ads keeps showing on YouTube and there's what they also earn per click on those ads as well as those the make use of their services or products they are advertising through ads on YouTube.

It's not about probability, many companies are facing challenges in these trying economic times, and many of these economies are the evening means for YouTube and the like. That's why top companies that have dominance online were laying off workers to cover for the revenue shortage. This is, in turn, the reason why they are relaxing their position of not accepting some sectors in order to boost their revenue. This is a good plan and I don't know why they will ever ban the gambling adverts as many had claimed earlier.

And since it's all about the money, everyone should get used to it. Yet, they can't be furnishing you with adverts that are not related to your daily activities. So anyone that is not used to gambling will not receive the advert.

An ad-blocker cannot block video advertisements that are shown within or before a video on YouTube, ad blockers only block static or dynamic banner ads that are shown on web pages or ads that pop up when you click somewhere on a website. The only way one can avoid advertisements on YouTube is to buy the YouTube Premium package and you will get rid of them. If you don't want to do that and want free services, this thing will be there.

And yes, it is the algorithm that catches your interest based on your searches or videos you've previously watched, ads displayed on your YouTube videos can also be a result of what you've searched on Google having the same account logged in there as well.

I'm just guessing because I also don't know about the truth. It could be from something else implemented by Youtube. But the ad still appears in each account because of the algorithm. And the government will keep trying to suppress gambling advertisements on social media because it can do it.

So I think if Youtube imposes strict regulations for gambling ads, it has helped people see them less often. And, of course, it won't make people curious about gambling which might encourage them to try it.

I actually do face such a challenge on a few sites I browse, and it becomes so difficult to browse efficiently in  such sites on mobile because the ads pop up and automatically open a site for the advertisement, like it does on my phone. Sometimes, too, if it's an app ads that pops up, it will automatically open the Play Store, totally distrusting what I am browsing. Some ads have a cancellation button after a few seconds when the advertisement completes, but some ads don't show a cancellation button at all, especially if you are operating from a mobile phone. If it's on Windows, the ads can automatically open up a new tab from your browser, and everything will also be visible, but on Android, some ad cancellation buttons are hidden.

Gambling business will try to seek for every venue that they can use just to promote and advertise their business, and same with how YouTube carry their business they will allow the algorithm in automatically provide those gambling website once they see that you access or accidentally click one of their ads,

 it's annoying but those paying ads are what YouTube really wanted as they have budget to allocate and place the ads to reach more traffic and possible clients.

Maybe that's why Youtube allows gambling ads on their site so that Youtube can earn even more. And those casino ads get a place back to promote their site on Youtube and also can get more users who will click on the ads. And it's not wasted by the thriving casinos as they can get or put their plans back into action.

So we don't need to be surprised if we see gambling advertisements again while watching movies, tutoring, or whatever else is. And we also don't need to click on the ads, especially if we are trying to reduce gambling time.

I want to believe that most of the google ads we see flying around on the internet are not exactly "pay per click" kind of ad, otherwise, there won't be so many platforms integrating google ads on their platforms, which YouTube just happens to be one of those platforms, from what I know people hardly click on online ads this day, so I think the platform where the ad are hosted still her paid, whether the ads is clicked on not, as long as it was viewed by users.

Now many youtube videos have different sections tagged and this includes the publicity inside the video, so you can manually skip those and it would not surprise me if ad blockers found a way to skip those automatically on the future as well, with that being said a great deal of the advertising done on youtube and most websites can be skipped, something that is fortunate as I would find it incredibly difficult to use the internet if a bunch of ads were popping out of nowhere all the time.

Yes you're right, those making advertisement using ads are not enjoying it for free, they were paid for services that we are seing and it also cost them to secure that particular slot to be granted for them to make such awareness through ads, though some may also receives a traffic flow into their website through this from each click on their ads, so we need to spend money more if we are intending to get more money, ads may look disgusting to us but there are some that really like seing them and having a look on every ads that pop in their screen on YouTube because they believe through that, they can learn more thing from what they are receiving as long as they don't mind.

Maybe it's "pay per view," but I don't know, but the ads on Youtube are still a lot and sometimes annoying when watching videos there. I guess people are smarter now in clicking on which ad they want but still, if it is a gambling ad, they can be tempted to click it because they must be curious about what the casino offers. This depends on whether we will click or not because if we have good self-control, we will not be tempted by any gambling advertisements and will only visit casinos that we know very well.

Yeah out of curiosity and they are seeing it from YouTube they might be in the impressions that the site have good capital as they can use the platform to advertise, and from that they will try to visit and use the site for their gambling, something that the site really wanted to gain traffics and possible gamer/gamblers to use their services and a potential regular users.

If you dont want ads from Youtube or you are really that got irritated then you would be always have the opt on going for premium but of course it would really be an another expense which not all would really

be that tending to do so but rather they would be dealing up on skipping ads on 10 sec mark or what rather than on paying up on something just like on getting rid of them but well its a personal choice or preference because there are ones who would really be tending on doing so. It would really be just common for these sites or platforms to have ads considering about millions of users on which companies
and services would definitely be targeting out on launching out their products and services on wider audience.

Therefore, if you dont like these things then you could always opt on skipping it out but i do understand the feeling on the time that you have watched something but been bothered by these things. ;D

Those websites are typically hosted on WordPress and often rely heavily on plugins, which can contribute to their erratic behavior. These plugins often contain JavaScript programs with conditional statements that prompt users to click certain elements, without which the website may not respond as intended. To counter this behavior, ad blockers are highly effective. I personally recommend using the Brave browser, as it is user-friendly and helps minimize unwanted gambling ads. However, you should know that certain websites may detect when your adblocker is active and restrict access to their content, they employ various signals to detect adblocker activity.

They are not like advertisements before where they should be visited. Youtube is a big platform now and I do believe there is a contract just like how it is with commercials on our local channels being watched on the television. Now, they pay just to come out once in a while or maybe for every hour of watching, depending on the contract.
Some advertisements on Youtube rely on the watched history but there are those who paid to come out even if not recommended. Take Head and Shoulder shampoo for example, I am not watching anything about shampoos, hair, or any bathing products and yet it will still pop out twice in an hour watching on their websites.
I think the gambling advertisements that we see once in a while are recommended and did not pay too high to pop out like those big shampoo companies.
IMO, the highest payers are those ads that we cannot skip. I have not seen a gambling ad that does that or maybe because I have no watched history about it.

Curiosity will make them finally visit the site because I have experienced it before so I can say that excessive curiosity can make us fall for it, especially if we are tempted to follow it.

The casino has the capital to advertise on social media and they have already prepared a budget to promote the casino. And even if there is a ban from social media sites or elsewhere, it will not stop the casino from promoting on other sites. Those successful casinos promoting on social media will get good traffic and see an increase in the number of members playing in their casinos. That's what makes casinos increasingly increase their promotions in other forms on more and more sites.

I don't want to pay for anything from Youtube ;D

We often see 5 or 10 seconds long ads; some can be skipped by pressing the button. And usually, I'll hit the skip button right away if it's an ad that doesn't match what I'm watching.

But if the ad fits what I'm watching or if it catches my eye, I'll watch it all the way through.

If i will need to visit a site then I don't need to necessarily have to go through their ads before approaching their website and i will take the effective use of ads blockers for use, i also make use of the brave browser om my device, i like the overal performance of the browser but the only issue with using brave is the hanging of a thing it does, you will just suddenly discover that the app is not working or pausing, i will now have to minimize to destop before navigating back onthe app then it continues, this has been common challenge with the browser because it freezes.

YouTube is now very important and popular platform for online gambling ads. Now a days ads view is most mandatory subject for YouTube. And when we see even a local video we have to gambling ads mandatory. Gambling site is now very popular in our country.
 Even when we are seeing national and international new on YouTube then also we have to see gambling ads.

For this reson gambling site being popular day by day. YouTubers also creating gambling video and they promoting gambling ads. From gambling video and gambling ads YouTubers earning huge money. So gradually increasing YouTube gambling ads and it will continue increase i think.

Advertisers see an opportunity to promote their casino in that platform since Youtube is not so strict compare to other platform which is limiting the gambling site advertisements. But for sure once many abuse about this and promote gambling unethically Youtube will stop all or put some limits to those gambling sites. But since this is not happening yet maybe we should educate our young kids about what they are seeing online especially on those gambling site matters.

Yeah, being responsible is important especially for the young generations there are many ads and personally we experienced those and if we are sharing our devices with our kids chances that they will see those recommendations/ads with their visits is possible, let them know the bad after effect and make sure not to give them an idea that it can be easy access to them.

Gambling site business is to continuing to grow and with the help of social media platforms they are gaining more traffics and interest.

Yes it's been quite a long time I've been noticing a lot of gambling ads while watching youtube videos. Earlier this kind of gambling advertisement may not have come but unique advertisement came. From this it can be understood that people are now getting a little more attracted to online gambling. Many people may wonder why this kind of advertising and what is the benefit? In fact, the reason for such advertisements is to attract people to online gambling. And YouTuber channel owners are getting huge amount of money for promoting such advertisements. As a result, they are promoting such advertisements in each of their videos. But gambling is banned in the country I live in, so advertisers have to be very careful about it.

I'm not entirely sure, but I believe that websites that are approved by AdSense to place ads get paid a certain amount even if the ads are not clicked but if they are clicked, they get paid extra, or maybe they don't get paid if the ads are not interacted with at all. But about YouTube ads, I believe account holders get paid based on how many hours of ads have been watched so even if the ads are skipped, there are ads that cannot be skipped and you get paid for those if you are a content creator of YouTube.

Though it looks like people don't click ads at all, that's not entirely true. If this was true, this business model would never be this much successful. The thing is, every person who is interested in something will interact with an ad that shows up related to their interest.

Youtube doesn't pay its content creators per ads, if that's the case these influencers will do everything in their power to scrape all the ad on the internet and put it in their video. No, they don't get paid in ads, they get paid in watch time, view count and sub count. Ad-friendly determines if a video could be monetized as in order for your video to get monetized for its view count, and watch time it has to be ad-friendly first. If it's not ad-friendly, it means it couldn't be given ads and thus would not be paid. Plus youtube doesn't necessarily go with clickable ads, although I've seen an annoying and unwelcome uptrend these days in the number of invasive ads on youtube videos. They go for video advertisements, which could be skipped and unskipped.

Gambling and casino are not only advertised on YouTube but when you start watching a video on Facebook you will see gambling and casino ads in between. It's annoying for us but an important promotion mechanism for gambling and casinosites.

At some point they will get more strict with the way they manage those ads as the there is little doubt that gambling is getting more popular and this is not something that everyone is happy about, just recently I think there was some legislation put in place at the UK so gambling companies could not promote soccer teams, so it is reasonable to think that such restrictions soon enough are going to reach other forms of advertising and this could reduce the number of gambling ads we watch on average.

But these things can't be taken into consideration, firstly because YouTube doesn't have a way to put things in so that one can become Premium and the truth is that I'm not interested, I don't know about the others, so advertising or adsense is very annoying, although to be honest it wouldn't bother me to see casino propaganda and even more so if these casinos are on bitcointalk, because it is something that would fill me with pride if I saw stake.com, because it is the casino I work for and every day in that Casino things get better, it is also one of the ones with the most reputation, like sportsbet, bitcaisno, duelbits, rollbit, roobet, among all these that are the best.

I mean google probably sells information about your history to most of the websites and then your gonna get gambling website ads, I didn't try it yet since I don't really gamble a lot, but if the algorithm finds you interested in gambling website it might be the one that you're going to get on your youtube ads right? But your kind of right since I don't really experience it or probably I'm just not interested in gambling anymore. As far as I know, gambling has a huge restriction on Youtube so probably they have ways that bypass the algorithm.

But most of the gambling websites paid to get advertise on a lot of social media and websites, even on streamers they paid influencers to get advertising on their video, gambling website is huge in my country since facebook influencers here are huge and get paid to advertise even phishing website and not get involved on cases, so this wasn't really surprising to see this kind of gambling ads online anymore.

Perhaps, the advertisers used different keywords to bypass an algorithm that blocked the ad from showing. So advertisers can see their ads appear on many users and of course, there will be people who click on the ads and want to try gambling.

And Youtube is not just a place to advertise because they can try it on Facebook and other social media. So they have a market depending on how they want to advertise the casino.

Google doesn't need to sell any data to any website, it is the biggest ads network itself and every single website uses the ads from it. Advertisers all over the internet go to Google to promote their brands and products and Google uses targeted campaigns to run those ads, so it uses your history or search terms like keywords that you used for searches across all it's websites to show you ads related to those keywords.

If you search "gambling games" on Google or YouTube or across any platform operated by Google, you will likely start seeing ads related to gambling or gambling games after that because gambling platforms are running targeted campaigns with Google Ads targeting people like you who are looking for gambling games or platforms.

It is because of this that I consider the use of a VPN important, just because people were interested in a topic before that does not mean they are always going to be interested on it, one common complain among those which developed an addiction is that as they are trying to recover from those issues they are served ads related to their addiction in all kind of social media platforms, so basically they are tempted all the time to go back to their old habits, however if those people had used a VPN to hide that information from companies like Goggle then their internet experience will not be hindered to such an extent.

currently youtube channels have played a large and important role in promoting casinos, recently I have heard about a controversy about a casino that is happening in brazil, from what I could see is that the casino paid millions to many channel owners from youtube that has thousands of followers to promote the casino, it turns out that those owners of the youtube channels that were paid by the casino told their followers that the followers will earn extra income with the casino, that word: "extra income" implies that people will be able to have money coming from the casino if they put money in the casino, even without playing, this is the perception that all people had

so people put money in that casino hoping to get extra income, they played and lost, but even so they were waiting to receive the extra income, but as they didn't receive it they contacted the casino support that after they lost money in the casino they were clarified that they won't having money coming from the casino because they lost while playing, these people started posting videos crying and complaining and this caused a backlash and other youtube channels are investigating and criticizing the casinos, I fear that in the future this will force youtube to take tough measures about gambling, by that I mean that you have to be very careful with your words when advertising something related to gambling

Indeed, it is not only in ads but most of the time this so called influencers insert some clips of some gambling sites in their vlog showing that they are winning, sometimes they also give small amount of money and people will use that as initial deposit but the most common problem is they cannot withdraw the money they have earned. Gambling are now being advertise everywhere even those not regulated ones.

I really think that at some point on the future regulations regarding gambling ads are going to be passed which will most likely forbid them from the TV or even websites like Youtube, personally I have nothing against gambling and it is an activity that I enjoy, however at some point too many people will lose money because of it and they will not be able to accept the consequences of their mistakes, and then they will do what they always do, which is to cry to the politicians in turn and demand a law to be passed so this does not happen to them again.

All of these restrictions will be bypassed. There is a content creator and there is a customer - regulators will not be able to prevent them in the age of the free Internet. Even if the restriction is imposed on an intermediary (streaming service), nothing prevents the content creator in social networks or on a personal website from making an advertising post.
For example, the former world chess champion Carlsen advertised some kind of casino - I saw these videos on YouTube, if such advertising is banned, he will do it elsewhere - he is famous and people will definitely see such advertising.

Doesnt matter whether you would really be making some dealing with some streaming sites or even on social media on which on the time that you would really be searching up something or you do visit out then this is
where SEO would kick in and on the time that they would really be able to know on what are the things that you are commonly interested in, then they would really be throwing up lots of common related things
via those ads which it isnt really that shocking. Doesnt matter whether it would be showing 1 or more because when it comes to ads and marketing then it would really be turning out that these companies would really be having that aggressive approach towards it on which if a certain user would be seen as a potential customer then expect that those ads of type would be showed off. Using up VPN would be not really that
much effective because if you do search up on the same thing then it would really be still showing off the same type of ads basing up on what you do search.

This is something very simple and easy to understand, casinos are always going to look for a way to have publicity, because they know that good marketing attracts players to their sites, personally, with YouTube what is produced is a very wide , in view of the fact that advertising on YouTube is very annoying, and apart from that nobody wants to buy YouTube premium , they sell casino advertising because the simple fact is that casinos pay better for advertising, apart from users who search YouTube for game information , the algorithm detects them and begins to avoid them, that is something that is Always true.

I know what you mean and I agree, but politicians are known for passing completely useless laws to make it seem as if they are trying to solve a problem, when at best the law they are passing will have no effect at all to tackle the problem or maybe they are making the problem even worse with those laws, so even if I know people will always find a way around those laws that will not stop politicians to try to impose their will anyway.

You can be sure that influencers get paid a lot of money to promote big gambling sites. Whether it is allowed in advertising on youtube itself, I doubt that. You often see that indirect advertising is made by broadcasting certain matches where you then see on the billboards that it has been made possible by certain gambling sites. That is also a form of advertising. And we all know that online marketing is very powerful and the gambling industry is billions in that. I think many people do not consider the kind of amounts that are offered to advertise on certain gambling sites.

Casino owners allocates budget for marketing and like what you mentioned they will use all available channel to promote their business and attract potential targets that will bring them traffics and possible gamblers to use their platforms, whatever means they will pay for it just to have publicity and have that attention to earn views in their site.

Views and visits that they can convert into gamblers that will use their services. Watever the promotions and offers, they will always find ways to engage people..

You certainly have a lot of market value to defend here. If you can manage to get into the YouTube advertising circle, you will get a lot of customers on your channel. But gambling is not allowed everywhere, so that seems to me to be a big problem at the moment. But it's a matter of knowing people and building a connection, that usually makes things a lot easier. Many well-known platforms do not accept it if you want to have a gambling site regulated by law and regulations.

I consider using VPN but I guess it wouldn't really matter since it was just a matter of how are you going to handle yourself, I mean a single advertisement doesnt really mean that you're going to start gambling already, All of it just depends on your discipline, I watch a lot of advertisement but I only click a few that I'm really interested in. But I guess since gambling advertisements are probably restricted in a lot of platforms. This advertisement surely picks some of the people that already have an interest in gambling giving them a higher chance of traffic on their promotions.

It's going to be difficult to hide your information in advertisements I don't think using VPN is gonna solve everything, I mean if you really want to gamble this advertisement would actually work on you for sure. I mean google run most of the platform on the internet so hiding information is probably impossible, and at the same time they run most of the ads.

Youtube will connect your cookie use on that browser to select the best adverts to give themselves revenue and click through highest probability.  This is why Google is so rich, they are constantly doing customer survey on your activity when using their services.
  Basically if you have any connection to gambling sites, even just a search they are more likely to forward adverts to you of that type.  Some even say they monitor voice use.

It is because of this that even if we know that trying to remain completely private online is a lost proposition we must still do something about it, Google and many other companies have the incentive to keep anyone that uses their services using them for as long as possible, as the more data they obtain the more they can profit from you, so they engage in all kind of practices which can be considered to be incredibly intrusive, so even if we cannot protect ourselves completely from those practices we must still make an effort to reduce their impact in our online experience.

Thats why on the time that i do make out some youtube research then i do always prefer on making use of that private window or incognito on which i dont really like for my browsers on saving up on what i do search
or throwing out those recommendation which is basing or in connection on what i had searched earlier.It would really be just that normal that they would be throwing out those kind of ads basing up on what you had searched or basing on whats the interest of that current user. This is why if you do see that gambling based more ads whether on youtube or any other platforms then this is most likely that they
would really be showing off those ads but somewhat we could really be able to avoid with those pesky ads if you wanted to, considering that there are some report or hide buttons somewhere or
you could simply skip out.

If gambling is not allowed everywhere, of course there will be no advertisements that appear because the chances for people who see these advertisements to be interested are zero, gambling is prohibited only as a place and everything can be tricked with VPN and others, that's why gambling advertisements massive but the appearance of this ad while someone is watching YouTube is dependent on your search on the internet because usually it will be connected, so I can say that those who can only do a search about religion have a small chance of seeing gambling ads but when someone has done a search about games and something that has to do with gambling then it will show ads when you view youtube, so it doesn't increase just depending on your search.

using an incognito window is one great way to avoid using cookie data in every browser we've ever explored.
maybe there are lots of ways to avoid gambling ads like this but for me a fairly simple and easy way is to use an incognito window like you do because it's faster without having to use anything and it's safer for me.
sometimes I feel embarrassed when I often open gambling sites when I open YouTube or any application that requires advertising will shockingly advertise gambling and when I'm out of the house I feel disturbed by the ad.

Now that's what happens when we often search for or access gambling on cellphones or PC.
And actually this kind of advertisement is very disturbing in my opinion and sometimes it just makes me feel emotional.
If there was anything I could do to stop those unwanted ads I would do it because ads popping up on their own all the time is just annoying.

But this is a method or marketing strategy and is also used by some media to be able to get paid for the advertisements that appear, so it's only natural that many social media always link advertisement all of a sudden.

We can't really stop these ads in its entirety. What we can do is reduce the visit to these sites. You mentioned using incognito tabs, that too is a good way to avoid having the loads of these ads pop up every time.
I understand what our OP here must have been going through.
There's also the possibility that you set your browser to remember your history, I would suggest you clear this too or set your browser to clear browse data on these sites even YouTube, once you are done.

If care isn't taken in most cases, these ads are phishing sites that by mistakingly clicking on it could be a welcome door for hackers or scammers to take hold of your data.

If you are not willing or you would rather not to use an ad-blocker to avoid all kinds of annoying ads, then I would like to let you know that in your Google account there is a privacy section where you can administer your ad preferences, and delete those you do not want to see anymore.

Last time I checked, Google listed I liked languages, Economics, Politics, etc. And I take the task to uncheck those that did not met my interest. You should check that out, it could help you.

Using incognito is an effective way to get rid of frequent ads. Clearing the browsing history is also a good move. However, it is undeniable that gambling ads exist on different social media platforms nowadays. Even if you're just watching a video clip, gambling ads will pop up. This is their marketing strategy and their main target is the active social media users.

It's hard to avoid gambling ads but the best that we can do is just to ignore them or as much as possible, do not feel interested in them because most scammers are now using gambling advertisements to deceive people so we must also be skeptical. They will exist everywhere on the internet but we have to deal with it as it is part of the marketing innovation but we shouldn't get hooked to their promotions.

Good point, if ads being click mistakenly the chance that it will be an opening for a possible hacker to penetrate, it's very important that you are really paying attention and if by mistake you should always clear your browsing history and make sure that your device is protected with any available anti virus that you have.

Though it's something that is more on the business side and those ads are being paid by the owners still annoying and still have that possibility that they are using it as front side but in the backdoors they are trying to penetrate to your device.

He can also use opera mini or brave browser these browser has a anti malicious ads that can be filtered so easily. if he is using chrome he can install extension that can block those ads, I never encountered frequent ads here in safari maybe it only happens in chrome I am not sure though. But again if he don't want pop up ads play in opera mini or brave .

I have tried it recently and it is true that the advertisements that usually appear frequently have disappeared and are no longer visible.
But when I open YouTube there are still advertisements showing up although not as often as before.
But that's okay because I also very rarely use YouTube lately because when I open YouTube it only gives me curiosity to see streamers broadcasting their gambling sessions.

By the way, thank you for the advice and also the tutorial that you have given, buddy.

It can also depends on the browser you use and also on the addons you may have installed on that browser.
Lately, I have seen people, friends of mine rather using dedicated apps to watch videos on Youtube without ads interrupting their videos, perhaps you are also interested on that. There is Free Youtube and Newpipe, for example, though, I think that if the gambling nature of the advertisements is the problem, it would be enough just to switch off your preferences, as I showed you earlier.

There are a lot of advertisements on YouTube these days. Which are annoying to most users. I've heard several software that prevents YouTube add-ons from auto-playing. But I don't know how effective these software will be. Because it is normal that free software will not work properly. If the premier software can be used then such ads can be prevented from being seen. Although it is simple, most of the users can't prevent from seeing such ads, maybe many people still don't know about it.

The business model will always be more advanced , here adsense Anywhere can give Benefits to one with the Inconvenience of others, it seems to me that Youtube is very annoying with the ads, and it just so happens that I don't get ads from casinos, I would really like them to come out of casinos, but I get music or things like that , Apart from everyone has how to invest their money and their way of Monetizing , obviously YouTube uses advertising to maintain itself, it's not bad , I think that this publicity is not only on Youtube but on all the M,st Common Social Networks and those that we all Use at some Point.

I don't know about that and what is clear is that advertising does bother some people who are using cellphones or PCs when accessing a website.
Yes, there is a YouTube service that pays or has a monthly subscription, but this will increase expenses if using YouTube, we only watch live broadcasts or other videos.
If to watch a live broadcast of a sports match I prefer to use another application instead of using YouTube.

There have been many advertisements that I have come across over the years and they are all so different that it makes me a little sick.

Ads are the way this apps we use to watch videos make their money so where are we so bothered about them when they didn't do us any harm. It's just like signature on the forum, they're there to advertise to their targeted audience. You're not one of them so you shouldn't be bothered.

If you're so displeased by this ads then subscribe to an advance form of the apps like premium privilege that removed the ads. I actually love watching ads while I'm using any platform. I won't be displease if the ads aren't scams or ponzi schemes. If they're genuine I'm okay with them.

I have also seen an increase in gambling ads on youtube but I think that's just the online casino trying to get their potential customers attention. Online gambling is becoming big and now casino need to spend money advertising so they can attract customers to their own casino.

Normal people like me will never subscribe to youtube premium, why do we spend money on Youtube premium only to avoid gambling ads ?
By the way, even if you somehow do not see the gambling ads, there may be other ads that will be shown to you by youtube. So in any case, unless you have paid and opted for the youtube premium, you will have to watch the youtube ads.

Anyways if the gambling sites are paying youtube to display their ads, we have to cope with it because this is another form of marketing by the casino's.

Only people who have a lot of money use youtube premium let alone just don't want to see gambling ads, one very bad way is to use extensions on the browser to block ads on youtube, even though using brave browser is safer than ads on youtube even though it doesn't really respect creator content but to be honest gambling ads are very annoying if displayed there because it will confuse people who have stopped gambling and then want to gamble again.

One of them is using another browser to prevent and block ads if you really want to feel safe using YouTube, so far brave browser offers to block ads so I feel comfortable there even though brave browser is also annoying because now it displays annoying ads on the main screen too but at least it's not a gambling ad. but if you are a gambler for me you will not mind gambling ads.

but why are you bothered by these ads if you don't want to use a paid subscription?
I think you will also get gambling ads wherever you are when using free applications because you yourself always gamble or bet through sites that you open and cookies will always read whatever you browse except when you visit gambling sites or about gambling using pseudonyms so you don't there are cookies that are read on your smartphone.

Another way one can see it is that part of the revenue or the money generated by those advertisements (regardless they are related to gambling or not) goes to the content creators, so if one is subscribed to channels which indeed show to be of good quality and there is indeed some work behind their editing and script, I do not mind to support them indirectly with advertisements.

Because the sanctions here in my country, it is rather difficult to get a credit card to directly support them through patreon, etc.
It mostly depends on the situation of each one of us.

As YouTube is a popular social platform like Facebook it has billions of users and there are different categories of users including gamblers and gambling platforms are now widely using YouTube Ads for their campaigns due to which we constantly see different types of gambling ads while using YouTube. but it doesn't matter whether we like gambling or not. And in our case gambling ads are widely shown on youtube because we often visit gambling websites and search on google due to which YouTube and Facebook bring gambling ads in front of us.

They are doing it for their business and they are getting advertisers to promote the business inside the platforms, and same with other social media channels they are getting businesses to use the service, it's annoying simply because they are recommending a lot, if by mistake you click the ads, expect that many more will come with different sites with different ownerships. It will become a recommend site to you even you don't have any interest in playing on it.

The price for premium varies by country, I agree its not cheap in alot of rich countries which is unfair as not everyone in a country is rich just because billionaires exist so do poor people.   Anyhow some of the countries with giant inflation rates, famously Argentina and Turkey if you are premium in this place then the price is actually close to the cost of a soda drink per month.   I'd call that cheap vs your time wasted watching 10 minutes of adverts on every day.
  The funniest adverts are the amazing invention adverts where the product is just never going to be as good as they claim, I love the fantasy at least.  I think in options you can specify against gambling adverts, same for alcohol and adult adverts most likely and same for many companies they must not force this content.

It is natural that if a person enjoys gambling from time to time and they want to watch something on youtube that gambling ads are going to appear once in a while, however this is a problem for those that may try to leave gambling behind as they had a problem with it, so I really think that social media platforms should allow people to opt out of some ads and recommendations on their algorithm as a way to avoid being tempted to go back to their old ways.

I don't know specifically the algorithm used in recommending YouTube ads to users, maybe the influence of the gambling application has been installed on the smartphone, cookies, browsing history may be related to the suggested ads, I have the experience of often watching videos of catching fake trading robots and I often get ads related to trading bots, so the solution is clearing cookies, browsing history or replacing the account with a new email if you feel you have been disturbed by suggested ads, they may design algorithms related to keywords and interactions from users to display ads according to advertiser targets.

Since seeing this post I’ve been keeping my eye open and paying attention to the YouTube ads I’m seeing. I haven’t seen a single gambling advertisement, so I have to assume that my original assumption is correct and YouTube is not allowing the advertising of gambling to United States viewers. Is anyone seeing different?

Nowadays, almost all companies collect information that benefits advertisers. At times I feel like advertisers become so intrusive that it violates my personal boundaries and becomes very annoying. I don't think deleting cookies is enough to make them lose sight of you. I remember even purposely upgrading the firmware on my smartphone and linking a new email to get rid of annoying advertisers. For a while they lost sight of me, but after they had gathered enough information about me they started offering me various products and services again.

Some time ago when I often used YouTube for my purposes looking for some tutorials and that information there were always advertisements that paused the broadcast so anyone would feel annoyed and now that I don't really need YouTube then why should I use a paid service.
Yes, I am indeed a gambler who often accesses gambling sites from the cellphone or PC browser that I use, but the appearance of advertisements is not my wish and only gives me a feeling of annoyance.
What kind of pseudonym do you mean?
Please provide a little clarity so I can understand it.

Its an angle that puts the value of money against the value of ad-free content consumption. As for ad-blocking extensions, I second your opinion that they dont fully support content creators' revenue streams. However, it's worth considering that they offer a semblance of control over content that isn't possible otherwise. While the Brave browser is an effective tool to block ads, it is not free from faults, as you have rightly pointed out. The line becomes even more blurred with the influx of disruptive ads on the main screen.

Your point on gamblers tolerating gambling ads could be a controversial one. It might imply that the nature of the ads we tolerate is a reflection of our personal interests or inclinations.

Except for paid services we may not be able to avoid the experience with YouTube ads anytime we are on it, but we can as well limit the experience we had on them by using some strict kind of browsers that does mot allow the promotion for such, maybe brave browser could serve better on this apps, using the YouTube apps as well also have been coming to the peak because of it high dependability, but in most cases they are unavoidable to us.

Gambling sites have chosen platforms like youtube tiktok as a major place for their advertisement because of which the sides invest a lot of money in these places and we know that youtube and tiktok buy data from Google and other companies to understand their algorithms, what an internet user is constantly searching for. and that's why if you search for something anywhere you will see all kinds of related ads on platforms like youtube and tiktok when you visit them.

I'm not sure if you guys are ignoring it or just not noticing it but what is being discussed here is about gambling ads on YouTube, and if you don't know, let me tell you that you cannot block ads that are played in a YouTube video with an ad blocker nor you can avoid them by using a browser that blocks ads. There is literally no way for you to remove ads from YouTube videos unless you buy Premium because that is how their business model works.

It's not possible not to get ads on YouTube if you want to use the free version, but if someone doesn't want to see gambling ads, they should simply create and use a new Gmail account which they shouldn't use for searching for anything related to gambling.

The development of social media today is so extraordinary that it makes many companies interested and create accounts on each social media. And social media is a place for promotion for all companies to develop their business. Gambling sites also have accounts on social media to reach more gamblers and provide various kinds of promotions there. And maybe that's what makes Youtube advertisements increase because many companies are already aware of it.

The activity of advertising the gambling site will certainly have a huge impact in terms of traffic so that new users register and this is a good step for gambling sites to spread their wings to carry out promotions on various social media platforms. Especially for popular video streaming sites like YouTube, which we know have a lot of users, it will be a good target for closer promotion. Maybe if gambling sites can be consistent in carrying out promotions on YouTube they will find it easier to get new users, moreover collaborating with YouTubers who have subscribers above 100K might be more efficient in attracting interest.

We use youtube most of the time and watch videos there and only youtube has huge amount of influencers who have different kind of promotion. and now they have started promoting rights to gambling sites. because influencers get paid the same amount of money promoting other projects or products, gambling sites get paid more than that. and this is why influencers are heavily involved in gambling site promotion. and besides this, gambling sites are also focusing on skip ads and that's why we see gambling ads constantly

For this reason, these sites are increasingly promoted on social media because they see increased visitors. Aside from being a place to share, social media has become a place to promote many things, so more and more people are looking for many things from social media.

Many gambling sites, such as Youtube, use social media to get new users. This gambling site regularly provides attractive promotions to get new users. And promotions can help gambling sites grow to be big and get more new users and a good reputation.

Those special applications, tools, and browsers can only help one avoid web-based ads and not ads that are included in a video such as on YouTube, there are only two ways one can avoid gambling ads from YouTube, the first one is as you said to purchase Premium package and get rid of all kinds of ads and watch ad-free videos, or alternatively, one can create and use a new Gmail account so that they don't have any history or records in their Gmail which is basically how you get those targeted ads.

The reason why we get those ads is that we at some point have searched for something with the same keyword such as 'gambling', and they have it associated with your account and they show you targeted ads based on that. Whatever you search online is recorded and used for advertisements that are shown to you.

I think that rather creating a completely new Google account, it would be easier just to go to the setup of the account and un-check the options for customized advertisements, as I explained some posts back in this thread.

Also, there is a chance Google could realize your are using the new account from the same IP of the previous or original one, and they started to send the same customized ads again. I am not sure how likely is that to happen, but sounds like something Google would do, imo.

Yes , he can customize it. Having an annoying ads really upsets me as well. Or what if can he try to clear cache, history and cookies and let's see if they will still show the same ads like before? I think they rely on his browsing history so whatever he browse it will be matched in his algorithm and it will be shown in ads and that will be shown always when he goes to yt.

Advertisers go where the people go, and as we know social media websites are some of the most popular websites around the world and it is natural that advertisers are now giving a greater weight to the advertising they do there, however I do not think this is going to last long as governments are already showing signs they do not like this and at some point some regulation may be put in place which restricts the level of advertising casinos can do on those platforms.

Good point, they will use all the avenue to advertise and attract people to use and support their business, and same with how a regular business owners are doing, gambling business will also use the same opportunity to get the attention of more people to play and use their services, I think it's more on how you adopt and embrace the reality that technology are bringing and just avoid things that you think is irrelevant to what you need.

YouTube has gained popularity around the world, with a plethora of Influencers ready to promote and advertise gambling or trading companies. Influencers are available to promote gambling sites through their YouTube channel that has a high number of views and enough traffic; it's good business whenever there are significant views on a video uploaded on YouTube; it's primarily for the general public, either to enlighten them on gambling sites through online advertisements or to persuade them to participate in there sites, such as creating and registering accounts with them.

I can imagine how angry those who, just for the sake of interest (to understand the chances of the teams he follows/supports), watches the quotes of bookmakers, and then he is bombarded in all possible ways with advertising from casinos and bookmakers  ;D
But such are the algorithms of search engines - they give us a convenient service, and in return they collect information about us, which they then sell to advertisers.

It would not be so bad if the level of advertising you were subjected to was reasonable, but websites have the incentive to show as many ads as possible to their users, so you are bombarded by many adds and this can be really annoying, however even if things are bad I do not think they are as bad as they were on the early days when the internet was just getting popular and you had to watch huge banners everywhere, since at least now you can block most of the ads anyway with the right extensions.

Yes, in the end these strategies are usually very good, the only thing is that when we are on YouTube there is a lot of advertising and that is annoying, I have not come across any casino or betting advertising, I watch a lot of YouTube, because I have a baby from 21 months old, and she watches a lot of youtube, the classic baby songs, and things like that, where they teach them things, but the advertising is kind of overwhelming, I don't know, but those things exhaust me, so I don't know if the advertising of casinos is so onerous with casinos.

Until now I have been waiting to see if there is advertising or some type of ADS regarding the casinos but nothing, maybe the YouTube algorithm does not detect that I need something like that, even though sometimes I look a lot at dice game strategies about casinos, slot machines, roulette, things that have to do with casinos, but nothing, I don't know to what extent the ocsa can manifest themselves in the algorithm of the social network, however , I don't see a bad idea that they can advertise, as long as it is in a very moderate way.

It differs per user and you're right about their algorithm and you haven't probably been not searching a lot about casinos. Or the browser you're using isn't associated with them since we do know that Google Chrome and YouTube are owned by Alphabet.

Try to search around and just view page results and you might see some banners from those websites you quick each search result. Until you type keywords that relates to gambling or casino, I think that could be the start if you're mostly browsing on YT and not with a browser.

Yes, indeed these platforms are media that seem quite interesting and promising for the promotion of gambling sites. In fact, not only on these platforms, but also in various online games and online books or novels, Gambling advertisements will appear. Wow, this is really amazing. I wonder how much interest the users have, so they do such a big promotion.

Yes, for several reasons...

Gambling ads are expanding across multiple media, not just YouTube, so it's normal to see more of them even if it's not influenced by any other factor.

Another issue is the type of videos you watch, Google's intelligence will always try to deliver you relevant ads. So if you watch more videos about gambling or "how to make money" it's normal that gambling ads are more predominant for you.

If the last point I mentioned is not your case, then Google is probably learning your habits based on your searches and pages you visit. My recommendation is that you use an anonymous browser like DuckDuckGo (https://duckduckgo.com) and a browser that respects your privacy like Brave (https://brave.com/download/) for example.

Besides gambling platforms, Forex trading platforms are now being promoted more through YouTube. Now people spend most of their free time on video streaming platforms and that's why video streaming platforms like YouTube are used as a good medium for various product and service promotion and it is very effective. And gambling sites also benefit from this because they get a lot of gamblers from there

I do not get bombarded by gambling ads, but sometimes I get bombarded by forex ads, which makes me angry. The reason being that I have no idea about forex trading and neither have I searched for this scam on YouTube. As I was getting annoyed with those advertisements, I did a Google search and found out that sometimes ads are also location-specific. That might be another reason why irrelevant ads suddenly start showing up on YouTube without any apparent reason.

Social media visitors and their users have experienced a significant increase in making advertisers follow them and place advertisements on social media. And while the government doesn't like this and imposes rather strict regulations, that hasn't stopped advertisers from sticking with their ads and looking for other places that might get a lot of interest from people. Besides that, people definitely don't like the many rules the social media team implements because they think it will limit their socializing. And this is what advertisers use to be able to attract the interest of people who stick around using social media.

Yes, that can also be one of the reasons why there are often advertisements that are irrelevant for us to see, but it all depends on how we surf the internet, if you are a gambler and frequently access or have clicked on gambling advertisements it seems the system will read you are a gambler where are you You will find gambling advertisements anywhere, whether it's social media or your YouTube account, because I think the key is in the internet network that we use.

Maybe we have consciously never visited gambling or forex sites, but we don't know that our family who live in the same house use the same internet wifi, maybe they have clicked on forex ads or gambling sites, so it is certain that you will also be flooded with advertisements for both. this is only based on my experience, the rest is looking for ways to avoid annoying ads, I usually use the free Brave browser without any ads.  ;)

Most of the times we see gambling campaigns on various social media including YouTube. I think those who do gambling campaigns are very smart. Because they know very well where they can get good amount of gamblers. Nowadays YouTube is one of the most popular media.  I got interested in gambling after seeing a gambling ad on YouTube one day. Gambling has become a deadly addiction for me now.

What you said is possible, someone within the family might have accidentally clicked on one of those ads. Once clicked, they keep bombarding especially on social platforms from Meta. YouTube doesn't make life as hell like those platforms do with advertisements. Brave is a good browser, but adblock doesn't work when using a mobile device. The ads keep coming and coming on those apps; sometimes rebooting the phone works in my favor.

Yes, you are right, currently there are a lot of skip ads on YouTube about Forex trading, and not only on YouTube, but also on social media, before or in the middle of short videos, ads are being advertised which are very annoying.  Even if we want to avoid them, it is not possible because at least 3 seconds we have to see it compulsorily. they often make us angry. Social media and video streaming sites have now started promoting a huge amount of ads which annoys us

Forex ads are also very annoying, especially since a lot of these ads are actually not real forex trading platforms, so trades made on the site are like gambling because movements are not based on market movements so that many of their users will only lose money without having the opportunity to make a profit because of this. is booming in my country.
Gambling ads are more prevalent when I access social media, every ad that appears will be dominated by gambling. If those who receive this ad are those who don't understand how gambling works, of course they will think that this is an opportunity to earn a lot of money because gambling ads contain a lot of money. that can be obtained even though it is not true 100%, it is highly recommended to use filters so that ads from things we don't want to see will not appear.

Apparently, you will see forex trading ads if you are involved in cryptocurrency trading or if you have ever used the term trading anywhere on the internet for searching something, and those ads are not location-specific but they target people based on keywords they've used in their searches and you are one of the users who have used the term trade or trading in your searches or you've used trading platforms and websites and that is why the ads.

If you don't want to receive those ads, you can simply create a new Gmail account, use that on your browser and try not to use that search term again and you won't receive those ads, but we can't really get rid of all the ads unless we go ahead and buy YouTube Premium which is the only way to get rid of ads.

It is even better to not make those searches when you are using your account, after all you can still watch youtube videos whether you are using your account or not, and if you delete your web browser history from time to time then this should diminish somewhat the targeted advertising that you receive, obviously it is not a complete solution but it is better than nothing, as targeted ads are now everywhere and they can become incredibly annoying very quickly.

I urged everyone of us to be careful and do thorough research before carrying out investments on these online ads. Not all of these advertisements are 100% legitimate; in fact, the majority of them are scams designed to entice people to invest and then defraud them of their money. We simply need to be exceedingly cautious whenever we come across these web advertisements. We have been in the system for a long time and know exactly how everything works. Gambling ads are simply designed to increase traffic. Forex trading advertisements I merely swipe up when it appears on our phone screens, especially when I'm completing some vital activities.

That's correct! just like any gambling sites that can advertise on platforms like YouTube and other social media but not all of them are legitimate. Some may actually be scammers who aim to attract a large number of gamblers to their site only to scam them and eventually shut down the website. As you mentioned, it's important for anyone wants to gamble on a website to check reviews about it and also take more infos as how long the casino website has been operating before depositing any money.

We've fallen into Orwellian "doublethink" where trade is gambling and gambling is a path to wealth. These "forex" adverts are deceptive like gambling. Behind glossy ads, they're peddling a digital mirage of money and success! These platforms are "rigged casinos" where the house - or website - always wins. Social media gambling ads are another beast. It feels like neon signs are shouting, "Get rich quick, just bet!" It's never that easy. These adverts lure inexperienced and needy people into a loss spiral. Filter advise is a Band-Aid on a sinking ship. Instead, outlaw these deceptive ads. If not, then strict restrictions and clear disclaimers, a true consumer protection. Why bandage if we can prevent the cut?

You need to do things that will lessen those recommendations. Deleting or clearing your sessions may refresh those ads. You just need to do something that will not let you keep seeing those recommendations. We can't control those things now as they are paying for it and the platform will continue to receive this money just to bring the ads in any form of possibility to attract visits and a possible gambler to the set place that they wanted to play.

More on how you manage to control those cookies and to allow you not to keep seeing more ads, especially if you are not into gambling.

Although crypto is still illegal in many countries, forex trading is legal in almost all countries, so forex trading authorities can advertise them very well worldwide. Forex trading is also risky because leverage can be used here like futures trading or margin trading. However, gambling sites are not cutting back on their advertising.  Many times it is seen that different sports are also sponsored by different gambling companies.  However every company has their own personal strategy to carry out their advertisement to reach potential customers. And gambling companies are now mostly online based.  So they put a lot of effort to advertise themselves online using various techniques

I disagree with you Forex trading is not yet legalized in many countries because it can harm a person financially just like gambling and it is high risky. Video streaming platforms and social media do various promotions for which they get huge amounts of money and video streaming platforms like YouTube and social media like Facebook Twitter are hugely used in most of the countries due to which these ads are visible to everyone. Content creators do not hesitate to promote gambling or any other platform and due to this many times it is seen that many content creators are arrested by the police for illegal site promotion.

Social media is a place that everyone cannot leave in this era.
And the management of each social media benefit from being paid by sites and various platforms when they want to advertise their names.
The government cannot stop advertising because if you want to stop it, the government must indirectly prohibit the use of social media itself, while some social media are global.

Actually, the government is not at a disadvantage with advertising on social media, it's just that it becomes a problem when there is gambling advertising and some social media users are minors.

The problem starts when there are minors and gambler who can't control their participation into gambling I see your point as social media platform most of the time are being view by both minor and mature people the consent is no longer needed as curiosity when begin to raise with minors they can simply click the site and start showing their interest, especially now where influencer are just a view away from anyone.

They can simply show you or encourage you how to play as quick as it can be and knowing minors nowadays they can simply do things that can bring them into gambling. (faking docs as they can simply use their parents' information)

I believe that one way scammers attract gamblers is through bonuses, that is not just the regular kind of bonus most reputable casinos are offering to their users, I mean a special kind of big bonus with very little to no wager requirement..

So what am I saying in essence? If you are someone who love to try new casinos, one way to avoid falling into the hands of scammers is to not chase after bonuses, avoid casinos offering unrealistic or too good to be true kind of bonuses to new sign ups, doing this together with paying attention to reviews of the casino from other people who have tried or still playing on the casino, could help you minimize your chances of ever being a victim to any casino being managed by scammers.

This is why it's questionable to see many gambling ads in different platforms that includes young people as well. Gambling ads are now all over the internet, not just specifically on youtube, but in most social media sites as well including facebook. Most gambling ads are masked into memes or entertaining videos which is somehow concerning especially if the children aren't supervised by their parents in using these platforms. But I guess we can't really hinder the growth of gambling and its reach, hence people must adjust to safeguard their little ones in stumbling upon ads related to any sort they don't have to know yet at a young age.

Well, the Business Model is evident, we know very well that things move with Advertising, there is no other way, this is how many People Earn and they do what they call a round Business, so when we see advertising in these ads and it is casinos Well, at least I'm interested, because until now I haven't seen it, but I've seen other things and what I do is remove it at Once, Everything for Reliable Casinos is good, although the most Reliable casinos almost don't need much Advertising on these social networks, only with the Advertising that is done in the Forum is Enough.

Of course, every business should never settle for what it has, it is always good to cover more, if you reach an audience that has nothing to do with gambling, at least a percentage of people will attract attention and that is something very good, because I have seen in the forum the case of Roobet who do Art contests, where many artists from the forum show their talent and can make a difference, I have Noticed that some who are not familiar with the games, at some point , just out of curiosity they can Enter.

That means social media managers must be able to provide filters for all their users and only allow users over 18 years of age to view gambling or other adult advertisements. And the ad filter must be able to provide its features to all users so that they can filter the ads they want to appear on their homepage. Maybe the government can give this advice to social media managers because the only ones who can do this are the social media managers themselves. After doing that filtering, it is hoped that ads that are not suitable for users will not appear on their homepage.

While this is completely true I do not see it happening as this will require the entire advertising industry to reinvent itself, become heavily regulated and monitored for this to work, advertisers are allowed by law to make fluff statements with the intention of improving the perception of the consumer has of their products, and if a gambling ad states that someone can earn a fortune on their casino they are not really lying as this could happen, however what they do not mention is that the possibilities of this happening are incredibly low and the most likely outcome is that you will lose your money.

I am pretty sure that gambling ads are targeted for people that are old enough. Google has gotten pretty good at profiling age groups and defining where you are from, are you male or female etc and it wouldn't even make sense for ad programs to waste ads on wrong target groups.

I am sure that it occasionally gets it wrong, at least with some ads.. At least in my case, i never got casino ads, maybe it's because where i am living, but i got actual lambo/sports car ads when last bullmarket was happening :). Never casino ads though.

Lucky you, though you got a good point as google have that system where they can separate that information and they can select ads for any classification, and once you mistakenly click or if the system detects that there's a chance that you'll be interested with that particular niche, expect to receive more from that same criteria.

And moving back to gambling ads, expect to see more if you already visit one of those recommended ads.

Thats how SEO works on marketing on which it would be normal that they would really be throwing out lots of ads which is correlated on what you had currently searched or click on which this is where they would really be targeting out a possible client or prospect which it might really be able to get involved or buy a certain product or services on which it is really that normal. We've been through in lots of accidental clicks
that we do online and even just watching some ads on facebook on which if you do make out some simple searches on a certain product then when you do hover out then you would really be spammed out with
ads with having on that same corresponding content on which its never been that shocking. This is why if you dont like those ads been popping out then we could always make out some report
about on being that inappropriate.

This is very true, we see Elon Musk only as a Billionaire who wants to do things , change the world, he behaves in a very strange way with the earth , he wants to conquer new worlds , things are like that, but since Mark is more young man, he has more support because Mark obviously with Facebook=Meta , things have turned out very well for him, besides his nature as a Person is not bad, even though he is a millionaire I know he is calm , he has no interest in Bad things, I think he has much more support for the cryptocurrencies because what Elon Musk did was throw the Bitcoin community on top when I speak badly , for my win Mark.


Here many things will always be evident, first the responsibility of the parents, because parents know that if their children under 18 years of age must be aware and supervise them of all activities they do, that is something they must do.

Raising a child is always difficult, no one said it was easy, because things always change and as time goes by things get more complicated because they are more rebellious, and the internet must always have control parental to avoid crazy things that they see.

One of the things that is always seen in the parenting style of parents, how dedicated they are to their children, if they really show the interest they have, all issues with children and young people must be addressed, when it comes to money have to be very clear, speak to them truthfully so that they do not get into trouble, that is something that many already know due to their experience, like all fathers or mothers, they always seek the best for their children, that is why gambling They should be told about everything, the good things and especially the bad, the dangers of addiction.

You are over estimating the care and due diligence of Google unfortunately.     Maybe they are able to judge age but they frequently promote things they shouldnt including illegal scamming, phishing and just plain fraud.    Its probably because quite alot of the system is automated and people work their way around it.   All you can rely on that the firm will avoid getting fined for putting the wrong adverts in the wrong places, they should take action but I frequently saw bad ads not suitable for anyone as its a fake product but maybe they cant be fined for deception adverts as its quite common to see them.

That's their job too. These ads attract people to their site and make them gamble. Ads serve their purpose. I don't think there will be any prohibition because the person is free to make decisions. Those advertisers do not force you into the site.

There are winners too, so there's nothing wrong with advertisers. I agree with you about what they didn't mention.

I'm sure the current algorithm is close to being 99.9% accurate.

There's no way in most cases that inappropriate advertisements will just throw randomly that's why reporting those ads won't change anything since the ads thrown were accurate based on their system not unless we can back up our report with accurate details and information.

It's just that users have to live with that and accept that related ads will really be shown based on the user's activity.

The ad is just a choice given to people, and the ad is not telling people to gamble. But what those people do is they visit the site and start depositing money to play gambling. So there is a tendency as if the ad is telling people to gamble even though it is just an ad. People are free to choose, but they see gambling as a way to get money fast when it's not. And perhaps now the number of advertisements has increased, not only on Youtube but other social media to attract more users.

This has a point. It's still entirely up to you if you will give into the temptation of gambling. The advertisements are just there to encourage you but the decision still lies on your hands. Although having more and more ads in social media platforms and in the internet in general has its cons as well since not everyone has the capacity to be logical thinkers. There are minors lurking around the web which can stumble upon many ads about gambling that can affect their way of thinking even their decision making. Since adolescents mostly are impulsive and I'm saying this based on experience myself when I was younger. So, i think it's much better to have regulation of gambling advertisements so that there won't be too much of it and it can just reach the right target audience or market.

They do promote things that are illegal, scams, phishing, or inappropriate in some cases because everything works with algorithms and there aren't human operators manually checking and approving each ad submitted as you said, people always find a way around automated systems to bypass the security or sensor measures that are put in place to exclude all these things and don't allow ads that have any of the elements mentioned earlier.

Even the age factor is automated, everything on these websites and services works using algorithms and they are the ones who place the ads in our browsers and videos that we watch on YouTube, it's all based on our search history and what we've been watching recently when logged in with their accounts.

We must not give up and be tempted to visit advertisements for gambling sites, especially gambling sites that we don't know. There are lots of advertisements for gambling sites like that on the internet, and it requires caution in choosing one. The internet only provides a place to search, while social media sites or other sites are just a place to promote, so we have to filter them so we don't experience any fraud. And indeed, minors can easily find any advertisement online because they already know the device, namely the cellphone. They can search for any sites they want unlimitedly, and if they visit a gambling site, it can have a bad impact on them because curiosity will make them want to play gambling. This is what every parent should be aware of for their children.

You do just only need the common sense which you do really have, of course you cant just simply click up on randomly just because it did make some pop out but eventually these are normal things that do exist considering
that these places that we've been using are being also used by tons of people or users on which it would really be just that right that they would really be making use of it as a medium for marketing. We do have different
automation now when it comes to leads and niches on which on the time that a certain user do click up on something then it would be understandable that they do already know on what you are interested into
and this is why we do see up these recommendations.

All the things been shown around though or online isnt always legit and this is why it would really be just that right that you should really be making in depth more research when it comes to things
because if you dont really be able to do so then you might be ending up on a disaster.

yes there should be. However, in reality, today's children are able to make their own settings, which sometimes don't match what their parents expect. Meanwhile, on several sites, online games, or YouTube, gambling ads continue to grow and are very easy to find. This looks really promising for these young people. In this case, parental control is indeed important, but we as parents also cannot control it for 24 hours straight and monitor all activity on the device in real time online 24 hours a day. This is indeed a challenge for the online world that continues to grow. Indeed, he hopes that the government will automatically block advertisements like that in this country.

Still part of a responsible parenting is to know what the kids are doing online, like you mentioned those young minds always wanted to explore and if they manage to click one of those sites that being advertised the chance that curiosity might trigger them to play after being allured by the site promotions or offers.

We can't really control those ads as they are paying a huge amount for allowing them to promote using the platform. We should be responsible for how we react and how we keep an eye, not just with our visits but most with our kids' activities.

Yes as parents it is not possible to monitor your child 24/7. With technology you can do it but that might sounds like invading the privacy of your child. The parent needs to establish whether they want to put a surveillance on their child by checking the environment they are part of . I mean the friends the child has and what they are generally do in the lesiure time. Technically monitoring is possible if you know how to use the technology.

We need to rephrase this a bit because as a parent you have no control over the gambling ads whether they are on Youtube, social media or where ever, but if you want, you can and should control your kids and tell them not to gamble.

Another thing to note is that gambling is not free of cost. There is no way the kids can go online and start gambling just like they play online games. In gambling, we have to put in our money and then gamble/bet. How come kids get that money to gamble? I believe parents are equally responsible if their kids have the money to gamble. The parents themselves give the money to kids and later feel surprised how they gamble::)

Now that i think about it there has been a rather large raise in gambling ads. Not only on YouTube tho, on Facebook and other platforms aswell. Not really sure if they are allowed however, more likely that a group/person has built a good spoofing method that allows them to trick the system. The ROi is great on these ads/offers, just running them has usually been a pain.

Ads like this will be very normal because they are aware that when marketing through adds then with good images and ad visualisation then at least they can bring some new gamblers from it.
Social media today is always a part of people especially with algorithms that sometimes when we search for gambling once then there will be a lot of adverts appearing about things like this.
Regardless of whether it is good or not for the platform they are advertising it actually depends on us in sorting especially when looking at new sites so this becomes a good marketing technique for them but of course in the selection of sites we ourselves must have our own reference.

yeah very much so. The other side of this Ad surge is actually AI. Artificial Intelligence makes generating new ads so much easier and it makes it also way easier to go through all the stats. Theres quite a few services already for this.

But in the end, some people keep clicking randomly just because they see an ad that catches their eye. This makes them scammed, while other people who already understand how advertising works can still avoid it.

Yes, only research can help us avoid irresponsible advertisements for people who have clicked on their advertisements. And we can also take good care of ourselves by doing this research because, in the end, we will know that frequently appearing advertisements are fraudulent. It just requires the desire to find out more details about the ad from other sources so the ad won't fool them.

We really can't control the ads because the ads will keep popping up, but we can control how far the ads will be displayed on our homepage so we won't be affected by these ads. We can also do the same on our children's devices so that they will not see ads that are not suitable for their age either.

And if we've done some filtering on their devices, we should keep an eye on how they get along because most kids can easily get swayed by the wrong company. Sometimes, their friends will invite them to do something, and if we have often advised our children to always be careful in socializing, they will be able to take care of themselves in social situations.

And at least on this topic I agree with the posture of the government, unless an advertiser is caught in a  complete lie they should be able to say what they want in order to increase the sales of those which hire their services as this is their job, it is up to each person to decide if they want to let that kind of advertising to affect them and buy the products they see been promoted by those advertisers, now do I think that sometimes they may push the limits of what it should be allowed? Yes, but that is true for almost any other profession anyway and it is not exclusive to them.

That's also part of the marketing that gambling sites try to do on various social media platforms and that doesn't only apply to YouTube, because now we find lots of advertisements like that on almost all social media. I also often see ads like this on YouTube and sometimes it's a little annoying when a smartphone is held by a child. But usually when we ignore it and switch to another spectacle the ad will disappear. I don't really know about Algorithms and have only heard of patterns like that that often occur on social media.

The algorithm on YouTube will usually follow the habits that we watch and when we often see videos that have advertisements in the gambling section, we will encounter more and more, that's how the algorithm works on YouTube that I know.

Not just the advertisements but also the recommendations. They can appear randomly and maybe one day, it was gambling is the one that is the front page. I know Youtube has a version made for kids. It's called Youtube kids. This one must be strict that even the explicit/sensitive ads which are only appropriate for adults won't show here even once.

I hope other apps will implement the same thing so that we are sure that our kids are safe. Like they said above. Many kids nowadays are now disrespectful to their parents. It's hard for us to control them anymore. So many factors that influence them to be like this including us (their parents).

Most children get their first money by saving for lunches in educational institutions. Many parents know this, but it is almost impossible to control it. The saved money is often spent on various kinds of entertainment that parents forbid (vaping, gambling, donations, etc.). It is simply unrealistic to control your child 24/7, besides, people are always eager to violate prohibitions (to try what is forbidden).

Even if a child has no money it does not mean that he/she cannot gamble, for example, card games with peers. The game currency can be any personal belongings of the child.

And it is because of this that the best thing we can do is to talk to them about this before they even have a chance to gamble, this way when they encounter a situation in which some of their peers are gambling they will be more eager to say no even if the peer pressure they exert over your child is on the strong side, however if parents refuse to give their child guidance about this topic then it is likely they will begin to gamble behind their backs, and even if it does not develop into a big issue the truth is that a minor has no business gambling at all.
