Google Will Not Reconsider its Online Gambling Ban - 05-11-07
>>
May 11 - Reports are stating that Google, the leading search engine is refusing to reassess its online gambling ban on funded search terms.
However some companies for example Sky have managed to find a way around Google's laws. One way has been a Sky Poker-branded page that shows footage from the Sky Poker TV channel. It does not link users to a site where one can play for real money. This fulfills Google's criteria for gambling ads.
Allegedly Yahoo has also stated that it will no longer accept gaming related advertisements including ads that mention money.
According to Google the company will be assessing current advertisements to monitor their conformity of these laws.
