increased Youtube Gambling ads?

[TimeTeller]

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.

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 -

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.

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).

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.

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.

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

[len01]

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.

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.

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".

~snip~

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.

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.

[wheelz1200]

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.
