Is Squidoo strict on Gambling reviews?

5 replies
I noticed there are lots of gamblins system reviews on Squidoo, looking at their TOS, it says they are not allowed, but I see loads of them that even have a PR of above 3 so, are these allowed or is it the act of reviewing casinos that is not allowed?

Cheers.

      dammit, Im gonna cry, where else can I work with these reviews and be allowed my aff links inside?

      I'm thinking weebly but, then again, Im thinking weebly could be my worst choice.. I have built a blog also for this but want to take the front page of Google.

      Cheers.

      ETA: some of these are pretty new and doing very well in the Squid Ranking, I was going to comment a blurb on the person lenses, but decided against it.. He ahs a picof himself, I just wonder if that's his correct name so then I can contact him and see is what he does allowed or not. i wouldn't want to risk bulding a lens for it to be banned.

      WOW I read through the TOS again and the reference to this has been removed, time to publish.

    Gambling is listed amongst the topics Squidoo don't allow here: SquidDon't!

    Gambling lenses. (Yeah, that means you, TexasHoldem lenses. And most poker lenses. We'll probably overcorrect heavily on these, and can't guarantee that we can move swiftly to unlock false positives. Your best bet is just to stay away from gambling lenses or the topic in general).

    I dont understand everyones negativity on gambling, sites banning gambling related ads, sits etc.

    Whats so bad about gambling?

    Like most things, most people can use it sensibly and its the other 5% of idiots who ruin it for everyone.

    Just because some people lose their house or whatever...it's THEIR fault, not fair that others get punished.
