iGaming & Gambling Advertising Compliance
Navigate global gambling laws and platform-specific betting policies. Stay compliant with age-gating and regional licensing requirements. Run a legal compliance scan to verify your ads meet jurisdictional standards.
Critical Compliance Risks
Regional Licensing Errors
Advertising betting services in regions where you don't hold a specific license leads to immediate and permanent account termination. Review illegal acts & goods policies for details.
Age-Gating Violations
Failure to restrict content to 18+ or 21+ audiences (depending on jurisdiction) is a high-priority legal trigger for all platforms.
Unrealistic Win Claims
Suggesting that gambling is a 'strategy' for income or showing 'guaranteed wins' is strictly banned under responsible gaming standards. This triggers misleading content flags.
Missing Responsible Gaming Links
Failure to include mandatory 'Help' links or addiction warnings results in instant automated rejection in the UK, EU, and US markets.
Bonus & Promotion Abuse
Platforms flag 'guaranteed winnings', 'risk-free bets', and misleading bonus terms. All promotional offers must include clear T&Cs and wagering requirements. Use our keyword risk checker to scan for flagged terms.
Cross-Border Licensing Gaps
Operating across jurisdictions without proper local licenses triggers immediate ad suspension. Each market requires separate gambling authority approval.
Platform Specific Restrictions
Meta Guidelines
"Requires prior written permission and proof of licensing. Ads must be precisely targeted by jurisdiction. See Meta ad policies."
TikTok Guidelines
"Extreme restrictions. Many regions ban gambling ads entirely. Purely social/free-to-play games are scrutinized for 'gambling mechanics'. Review TikTok community guidelines."
Google Guidelines
"Certification is required. Google limits betting ads to specific approved countries and requires local legal compliance. See Google Ads policy guide."
LinkedIn Guidelines
"LinkedIn prohibits all gambling and betting advertisements globally. No exceptions for licensed operators. See LinkedIn advertising policies."
