Overview

• YouTube will ban creators from linking to or verbally promoting gambling sites that fail to meet local legal requirements or lack Google approval.
• Content promising guaranteed returns, even from approved gambling services, will also be removed under the updated policies.
• Videos promoting online gambling will be age-restricted, preventing access for users under 18 or those not logged into YouTube.
• Educational gambling content, such as tutorials on sports betting, remains allowed but raises concerns about potential gambling addiction risks.
• The new rules, effective March 19, align with broader efforts by Google to regulate gambling-related content across its platforms.
