YouTube is enforcing stricter policies on gambling-related content as online betting expands in the US. The platform will now ban videos that promote unapproved gambling websites, specifically those not vetted by YouTube or Google or those failing to meet local legal requirements.

Content creators are now restricted from using links, images, text, logos, or verbal mentions to direct viewers to these sites. This move aims to ensure compliance with advertising and gaming regulations, impacting how gambling-related content is shared on the platform.
