Certification
Advertisers need to apply for certification from Google in order to run certain types of gambling-related ads. See more details above.
Country
See the requirements above to learn where certain kinds of gambling ads can and cannot run. - If your ad campaign targets only countries where we don’t allow these ads, your ad will be labeled “Disapproved” and won’t run at all. - If your ad campaign targets allowed and disallowed countries, your ad will be labeled “Eligible (limited)” and won’t run in the disallowed countries (but can run in the allowed countries).
Ad Formats
Acceptable ad formats can vary depending on factors such as the platform you’re using, the status of your ad, and whether a publisher or partner has opted to show such ads. Here are some typical examples, though they may vary:Cannot promote gambling:- Gmail ads - Shopping ads - Reservation display ads - Google TV masthead ads

What happens if you violate our policies

Ad or asset disapproval: Ads and assets that don’t follow this policy may be disapproved. A disapproved ad won’t run until the policy violation is fixed and the ad is eligible.

Account suspension: An account may be suspended if you have several violations or a serious violation. If this happens, all ads in the suspended account will stop running, and we may no longer accept advertising from you. Any related accounts may also be permanently suspended and your new accounts may be automatically suspended at setup.Learn more about suspended accounts

To ensure a safe and positive experience for users, Google requires that advertisers comply with all applicable laws and regulations in addition to the Google Ads policies. It’s important to familiarize yourself with and keep up to date on these requirements for the places where your business operates, as well as any other places your ads are showing. When we find content that violates these requirements, we may block it from appearing, and in cases of repeated or serious violations, you may no longer be able to advertise with Google.

Certification
Advertisers need to apply for certification from Google in order to run certain types of gambling-related ads. See more details above.
Country
See the requirements above to learn where certain kinds of gambling ads can and cannot run. - If your ad campaign targets only countries where we don’t allow these ads, your ad will be labeled “Disapproved” and won’t run at all. - If your ad campaign targets allowed and disallowed countries, your ad will be labeled “Eligible (limited)” and won’t run in the disallowed countries (but can run in the allowed countries).
Ad Formats
Acceptable ad formats can vary depending on factors such as the platform you’re using, the status of your ad, and whether a publisher or partner has opted to show such ads. Here are some typical examples, though they may vary:Cannot promote gambling:- Gmail ads - Shopping ads - Reservation display ads - Google TV masthead ads

Ad or asset disapproval: Ads and assets that don’t follow this policy may be disapproved. A disapproved ad won’t run until the policy violation is fixed and the ad is eligible.

Account suspension: An account may be suspended if you have several violations or a serious violation. If this happens, all ads in the suspended account will stop running, and we may no longer accept advertising from you. Any related accounts may also be permanently suspended and your new accounts may be automatically suspended at setup.Learn more about suspended accounts
