Does anyone know a good ad network i can use to monetize my gambling themed site?

I know adsense doesnt allow gambling content so is there one similar that will allow this?

  • Depends on what type of gambling site you are running. There are quite a few out there. What type of gambling site is it?
  • You can also get affiliation from online casinos. Cause this is i think what gambling refers to. Also i think clicksor and adbrite accepts, correct me warriors if i am wrong.

    • No good PPC is going to allow gambling sites right out of the box.

      For one, it is illegal in the US, so what are they supposed to do with
      probably their biggest audience? Just ignore US law? Hardly.

      If you have a real gambling site that allows anybody to signup and
      gamble with real money, chances are it will not be allowed.

      Every good PPC has rules, and they are all probably pretty close
      to adsense if they are worth using.

      If you are able to get around United States viewers, and the PPC
      has some sort of filtering, or requires you to filter, than you have
      a chance.

      If not, you are probably looking at very low level PPC networks.

      All of them worth their salt would have some clause against "illegal"
      activity. Online gambling is illegal in much of the world. And legal in
      much of the world.

  • Agreed in regards to PPC... Maybe find a gambling-related affiliate product to promote.
  • Online gambling is not illegal in the US. You just can't use your bankcards anymore lol. I still get checks from fulltilt every few months. Last I heard it is very hard to deposit money on the poker sites...

    Why don't you do clickbank? I'm sure there are a few good offers on there.
  • Maybe you can see if there are affiliate programs on the big gambling websites themselves? Worth a try I suppose.

    • If you go to the casino site you want to promote, there should be an affiliate link at the bottom of the page or on an inner page somewhere. Otherwise, go to the contact page and get in touch - ask them which affiliate program you could join to promote their casino. There isn't many out there that don't have an affiliate program.

      PPC through Google for online casino is allowed in places like UK, Ireland, Germany etc. The problem is that it is extremely competitive and very expensive, so may not be worth it. To do PPC in the UK too you'll need to have a license. I'm not really certain on the criteria to apply for one of these. I'm sure the PPC guidelines on GoogleUK probably give you that info.

      A lot of online casinos don't accept players from the US and the same places likely wont accept players from France either. These tend to be Playtech and MicroGaming powered operators. This is not because it's illegal to gamble online in the US (which it isn't apart from 13 states) but because when it does become regulated in the US, these companies don't want to be restricted on access to US customers.

      If you have US traffic you're better off looking for an RTG powered casino group like Affiliate Edge as they take US players and I've heard their conversion rates are in the top 3 of places still accepting US traffic. I could recommend their affiliate manager too - Martyn. He is great.

      If you have non US traffic and non French traffic, I would be happy to help you out promoting our 23 casino brands - just send me an email

      Cheers
  • monetizing a gambling site is quite a hard task. But there are casino forums that will help you about that. You can search them in Google.
