increased Youtube Gambling ads?

[bitterguy28]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

[darewaller]

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 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. 
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
