In an update posted on March 4, the YouTube<\/strong> team said that as part of an ongoing effort to protect viewers from potentially harmful content, it is strengthening its existing policies related to online gambling content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouTube defines unapproved gambling sites as platforms that don\u2019t meet local legal requirements and haven\u2019t been reviewed by YouTube or its parent company Google<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Effective March 19<\/strong>, YouTube will no longer allow non-Google-certified URLs, embedded links, visual displays including logos or verbal references.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe know this update may impact creators who focus on online gambling content like casino games and applications, but we believe these changes are a necessary step in protecting our community, especially younger viewers,\u201d read the statement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouTube spokesperson Boot Bullwinkle<\/strong> added to CNN<\/strong> that it will also begin age-restricting content that promotes online casinos, regardless of whether or not those sites and that messaging has been approved. Users under the age of 18, as well as those who are not logged into an account while viewing YouTube content, will not be exposed to content that depicts or promotes online betting sites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

YouTube added in its statement that content that promised \u201cguaranteed returns\u201d may be removed regardless of whether the online gambling site or application has been approved by Google.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The change in YouTube policy will take effect shortly before Google alters its own gambling advertising policy in mid-April.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Google\u2019s new approach will specifically designate which countries are approved for gambling-related advertising and will require advertisers to offer a landing page with responsible gambling information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aggregators and affiliates will still be able to promote legal online gambling sites so long as they are registered with Google as gambling advertisers and \u201cprovide information about, or a comparison of, gambling services.\u201d Affiliates also must ensure any operators they promote have active licenses and registrations for the markets they are advertising in.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, affiliates and aggregators will not be allowed to promote social casino games, defined by Google as \u201conline simulated gambling-style games where there is no opportunity to win something of value.\u201d Games that use virtual currency with real-world value are still allowed to be advertised by affiliates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
