YouTube Gambling-Related Adds and Children
June 28th, 2010Author: Paul Greefin
YouTube is reported to have finally begun publishing related to gaming ads in the UK. Since the acquisition of YouTube by Google in 2006, lots of things changed.
YouTube is to employ the same software it uses to block children from viewing mature-themed videos.
Online gambling freedom advocates in the US are sure that the same system can be used at internet casinos to prevent underage gambling. Their opponents claim that it will be insufficient, however, they cannot explain why the system will fail for online casinos.

I do not thing it’s possible for Youtube to prevent children from watching videos that contain casino related ads. Youtube is not able to collect DOB for every single visitor. They can reduce the number of under age visitors who will have access to gambling ads, but cannot resolve this issue at 100%.
