increased Youtube Gambling ads?

[acroman08]

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.

[ralle14]

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.

[Fivestar4everMVP]

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.

[bitzizzix]

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.

[Yogee]

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.

[yahoo62278]

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.

[Merit.s]

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.

[mindrust]

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.
