increased Youtube Gambling ads?

[Fredomago]

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.

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.

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...

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.

[Yatsan]

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.

[Bureau]

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.

[Casdinyard]

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.

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.

[ethereumhunter]

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.
