Aren't gambling ads banned on Instagram and Facebook? It's surprising to me that gambling ads are still allowed on FB and IG.

Yes.

Gambling

Do not use a Page, group or event to promote online gambling without our prior, written permission. This prohibition also applies to games where anything of monetary value is required to play and anything of monetary value forms part of the prize. Common types of gambling or gaming activities include betting, lotteries, raffles, casinos, fantasy sports, bingo and poker.

The problem isn't someone who promote it, but the biggest problem is Mark Zuckerberg and his team has very low action to monitor illegal stuff posted in their platforms! the addicted gamblers also has a problem for not able to control themselves.

Imagine the addicted gamblers subscribe the no ads feature, do you think it will stop them to read user that promoting gambling ads? nope, those users will promote it through reply or personal message lol, they're creative.

If you have gambling disorder why not stay off Facebook and other social media platforms? Is it a must for them or what? As for the subscription requirement that'd ridiculous, it's not a once time fee thing but monthly renewal? To hell with Facebook and Instagram, I don't even have an account on Facebook and the reason why I used Instagram was for some advert assignment and this was years ago, I won't dare pay a penny to any social media if I am not making money off them.

The sub is good for those who are monetizing the platform, if not then it makes no sense, I thought that Instagram have already ban everything related to casino and crypto, maybe I read wrong, it's crazy that people can come across gambling ads and decide to go back into gambling, like they don't work on me, I easily ignore any gambling ads that I come across without thinking about them twice.

If you are addicted to gambling you should just stop using any platform that supports gambling ads and promotions, go back to the real world and spend countless time with your friends and family, if making money is why you get addicted to gambling you should start learning a new skill.

I read the forum blackhatworld.com where some people say that it is possible to run gambling ads on Facebook, but it is very difficult and the possibility of the ads getting rejected is high.
If I was a gambling addict, I would avoid social media completely(assuming that gambling ads are allowed). There's no point for me wasting a monthly fee on a "no ads" subscription. There are multiple social media accounts, who promote gambling via their content. There's no way to avoid them, if you are active on social media. The algorithms will put their posts in your feed sooner or later.

Before now it was impossible to avoid advertisment on Facebook and Instagram.This has made it impossible for gamblers to avoid advert even when they have used control the ads options. Now Meta is giving users in the EU, EEA and Switzerland the choice to pay a monthly subscription to use Facebook and Instagram without any ads. This special account can come for as high as €9.99/month on the web or €12.99/month on iOS and Android. Users can get this account this month and enjoy the package

I can never pay any social media money, be it meta or X for Elon Musk. What I am gaining from the this forum with gambling signature campaigs, I can not gain it from those meta social media, but I still prefer X. But nonetheless I can not pay for subscription on those social media. But on social media that belongs to Mark Zuckerberg, I have not been using them and I see them not useful for me than to make me not to have a private life.

Although the subscription fees is high to come low income nations but I think it can held to reduce gambling disorderly behaviour.

For people that pay for the subscription, not that the ads are removed. Nothing changed because most people will use the social media with ads.

Although the subscription fees is high to some low income nations but I think it can held to reduce gambling disorderly behaviour. Some gamers are triggered to gamble uncontrollable because of advertisment so this package will help them gamble responsibly. According to a study carried out by Sheffield and Glasgow universities the more people are exposed to betting advertisment the more likely they are to gamble and the greater the risk of them developing a disorder. This package is also helpful because it will make gamblers avoid adverts from many scam casinos that are using these social media as platforms which will also reduce gambling disorder.
