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.

I said that is how Google's algorithm works when you type and search for gambling sites so that anything connected to your Google account, be it YouTube, will display what you are usually looking for and likewise Instagram or other social media, if you ever click like. in postings about gambling, you will find more gambling advertisements there or your family using home wifi with the same IP likes gambling posts.

I think you need to check it again have you ever searched for it on google search or liked gambling posts on your social media, I've heard of ways to remove gambling ads on your youtube, just search on your google to find the answer, I'm sure it will help

Simply put, YouTube is tracking you. They are learning about your online behavior regarding the types of videos you watch, the amount of time you spend watching them, the keywords you enter in the search box, and your general interactions. They are monitoring you. Therefore, if you have spent a great deal of time watching several videos of streamers gambling, they have personalized the ads to match your behavior. If you do not want to see those ads, you can clear cookies or cache in your browser settings. That should help.

Yep usually ads follow what you watch, if you've ever watched a gambling player streamer then you will get a lot of advertisements about gambling, I think that's how the YouTube algorithm in the ad service, also the video/gambling content will appear on your home screen with many content recommendations . Things like that are also found on Facebook, they use the same algorithm about advertising that depends on what you have watched before it will bring up advertisements that are quite frequent.

Gambling ads are common when I am watching local YouTube videos. It is not new to us in my country. I believe that is how it would also be in many other countries. The YouTubers, especially the comedians are getting money from the gambling sites and also using their promo code to advertise to get more money, they see it as a lucrative means to make money as the gambling sites are playing well many of them.

Many kids and teenagers are exposed to gambling this way.

Yes it is indeed a good strategy to develop faster in the online gambling industry, and it is quite effective especially since there are a lot of audiences streamers.

YouTube remembers the type of videos that you like to watch and from there, they're injecting you all of the related videos together with the ads that's related to it as well.

One easy and free thing to solve this is to use Brave browser, no ads will appear as you browse and watch through it. Or, avail their premium so that you'll avoid to see any ads that might annoy you.

As far as I know a lot of software nowadays collects anonymized information about users and sells it for advertising purposes. And many companies are not even shy about this and put it in the user agreement. If you use Google, you'd be surprised how much information they collect about you. There is a lot of information about this on the Internet. The most interesting thing is that by the impersonal information they collect, you can very easily identify a person.

So it's not quite right to think that you see ads based only on Youtube searches.

As far as I know, gambling advertisement is now restricted on youtube; I've seen a lot of content getting blocked by the platform to prevent shows of it, or just only mine because never seen anything ads related in my country as gambling if that so still on your country seems a good thing the algorithm of your account or activity is all about described in gambling so nothing new and typical and at the same time the casino and the google platform win-win in that particular situation they promote the advertisement and at the same time the google get paid. Still there's a chance that the google will restrict if you made an upload related to gambling which is not safe to everyone.

No, it's just the regular local ads that I'm seeing and nothing about gambling. Perhaps you are watching a lot of gambling related videos?

And most likely the algorithm of Youtube has that so the next time they give you ads, it's everything related to gambling. So yeah, most likely you watching several videos of streamers and mostly following them or subscribing might have something to do with it. If any case this might help you:

I believe that's the answer here. If you are watching a lot of gambling streamers, the likelihood of getting gambling ads is high.
Just like when you browse the net for products, and suddenly there will be suggestions of similar products that you can choose from.
You can also limit the ads if you think some of them are uncomfortable to watch -

Also, don't forget, cookies can track your browsing habits, your search and browser history. So no wonder they may suggest similar topics.

No, I'm not getting any on the videos I watched on my active Youtube account linked to my Gmail, my preferences are all about music, movies, and current events so these preferences are what you might be called PG, I never search or watch anything related to gambling on the account and browser which I normally use, but if I want to watch gambling videos I use my other email accounts and my other browsers.

If there are many gambling ads that's because there are many streamers who are actively promoting their streams and many casinos are now active on social media platforms like TikTok, Youtube, and Facebook so it's not really Youtube.

You own the pen

I think it depends on the owner of the videos because whenever I watch youtube short videos or long videos, I don't find such ads and I only got some food ads instead and some online store ads. they also have your histories and they can get some info from there to track your activities and show you some related stuff on what you are mostly doing every day. I know they are doing these kinds of stuffs nowadays because when I tried to purchased some Nike shoes online, the next time I see, some shoes companies are shown in the ads of the social media that I'm browsing. they know now what kinds of stuffs are you looking in the internet.

YouTube is suggesting what is your interest and if they find out that you are watching gambling, then they are offering such things more. I don't encounter such a scenario but yes, I've noticed as well that more gambling ads come out and this is something to say that gambling developers have found YouTube as another tool to spread information and awareness to the community knowing that a lot of people are on this platform. From now on, seeing them poping out as an ads become normal and that creates more traffic, and probably it was very effective based on their assessments.

Does it seem like you're in Las Vegas instead of YouTube, with all the flashing neon signs of gambling ads? Funny how that happens! In fact, your recent experience is likely due to YouTube's advertising algorithm, rather than a coincidence or increase in gambling ads.

If you've been watching gambling streams, the algorithm might have concluded that you're interested in gambling. Hence, it's serving you more gambling ads! This is based on your watch history, search terms, and other factors. Isn't that a bit like having a tiny, well-dressed casino dealer living in your device, ready to show you the way to the nearest roulette wheel? That's a chuckle-worthy idea! As for the ethical side, that's a debate worth having. Should platforms like YouTube be more responsible in regulating potentially harmful ads, such as those for gambling?

I haven't noticed that with YouTube ads but the growth of gambling ads on content creators is increasing. Like when you're watching videos on other social media like Facebook of some content creators, they would insert their own made advertisements of a certain gambling site between their videos. There's no skip ads when it's really in their video, the only thing you can do is to skip the time or fast-forward it. I think it's more effective for gambling sites to partner with some content creators to insert ads on their videos rather than paying the apps for an ads where people can skip it. With the increasing number of online gambling ads, more people are getting into gambling nowadays.

Perhaps it's based on what you search on Google as well. I have my gambling account separated from my personal account, and I never had even one single gambling ad on my personal account - not even once. Whereas on my gambling account, I have loads of different websites and casinos being posted on my Google ads and on Youtube whenever I try to watch something and forget to switch accounts.

You do know that Google is good at snooping whatever search you made from any of your devices using a Google account and push you ads based off of those searches, right? So yeah, that could explain why you see a surge of Youtube gambling ads - because the account you're using to watch Youtube has been sending gambling-related queries to their search engine or whatever website you visit.

hmph..

Google ads will retrieve cache data from the browser or even application on your phone, as well as from the video history from youtube. If in your country gambling ads are not blocked by any provider, then you can find them after you do the online activities that related with any gambling. If you are using Android, it will be easier for Google to personalize ads for the device you are using.

Even another ads service provider will doing the same, from your history they will personalized any ads for you with their algorithm.

That's most likely due to Youtube's algorithm that organizes relevant ads according to the videos you've watched before and because of that you can get a lot of gambling ads on your videos. In my opinion, as long as these ads are not annoying, you can skip these ads and continue watching your videos. However, I personally prefer to install an ad blocker to be able to block ads from my browser. Even though some people say that installing an ad blocker will interfere with performance and user privacy, so far I haven't found any problems with it.

I noticed the same over the last few weeks and thought that it was due to me being categorized differently by the YouTube algorithm. Lately I watched more gambling related videos, like top slot winners by streamers and the laat big poker tournaments. Also because of the death of Doyle Brunson there were a lot of new best of videos from his long poker career. After watching all these videos I see now 1 out 3 ads are for gambling. But if other people here have similar experiences than it might be that the gambling industry is focusing more on video advertising on YouTube than on other social media. It's not a bad sign to see the gambling companies be more profitable and have more money for advertising. The only issue I have is if the companies take away the money from bonuses and focus more on new customers and not the existing ones.

Ads is one of the common ways people use to make advertisement for their services or company and this is not only attributed to gambling organizations alone, many reputable institutions and companies make use of google ads to advertise their brands, website, products or services, but this can be assumed to be more frequent on the gambling platforms whereby they often advertise themselves on YouTube ads, google ads and in some ppp up messages received via online websites through the network being used while connected to the internet.

If you are seeing many more gambling ads than usual, maybe it means that gambling sites are trying to increase their customer base by investing more in sponsored advertising that is usually targeted to specific criterias to meet specific people, and you likely fall into that category. I worry about how this can really affect people who are not of the age to gamble, it can lure them to it. I will also be careful of the advertisement I follow because even scammers can run this adverts too to get people to steal from.
