Promote gambling on Facebook??

8 replies
Hi, quick question: can I promote gambling on Facebook on European country's? I saw that they allow for some country's where gambling is legal I think, but I'm not sure.


Anyone has promoted that?


Thanks

    Have a look at their ad guidelines (see Facebook). As you can see in D. (Targeting) it depends on the (local) laws and regulation. If a certain market or niche (such as gambling) is only allowed for 18+ for example, you should target your ads on 18+ as well.

    I'm pretty sure it's a big no no, but read over their TOS very closely to be sure

      Ads, Pages, and Sponsored Stories may not promote online gambling, games of skill or lotteries without prior authorization from Facebook.

      Guidelines for Gambling Ads:
      • Ads, Pages, and Sponsored Stories may not encourage irresponsible gambling behavior or present gambling as an income opportunity or an alternative to employment. Ads and Sponsored Stories may not use symbols such as U.S. dollar (i.e. $$) and pound (i.e. ##) signs that are unrelated to any specific amounts.

        Authorized gambling, games of skill or lottery ads must target users 18 years or older who are in jurisdictions for which permission has been granted.

      Guidelines for Gambling Pages:
      Authorized gambling, games of skill or lottery Pages must:
      • Gate access to users above the age of 18 years old and in jurisdictions in which permission to advertise has been granted.
      • Limit posting to admins. Facebook users should not be able to post content to the Page. They may, however, comment on or "Like" posts by an admin.

      Gambling Applications:
      Developers may operate an App displaying a gambling brand as long as:
      • It is clear through either the branding (e.g., "[insert name of gambling company] For Fun") or the name of the App ("[insert name of gambling company] Free Poker") that the App is a "for fun only" game.
      • The App does not link in any way to a gambling site.
      • Earnings within the App can't be cashed out in any way, including being converted into credit that may be used to gamble online or at a casino.

        The site that I'll be promoting follows the guidelines, but first I need that "authorization from Facebook", so how can I get that?
