increased Youtube Gambling ads?

[serjent05]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[famososMuertos]

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.

[Kakmakr]

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.   

[traderethereum]

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. 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 dont notice this as I am using adblocker on my PC

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.

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.

[Alisha-k]

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.
