YouTube is cracking down on videos promoting online gambling, specifically targeting some channels with legal online poker content. The apparent tightening of policy has affected a number of the industry’s most popular creators.
The policy referenced says that YouTube does not permit “content intended to sell certain regulated goods and services.” According to the terms, creators should avoid selling or linking to “online gambling casinos” in descriptions and comments.
The elevated level of enforcement puts poker content creators in a pickle. And it presents poker companies, which have invested time and resources in marketing on such digital platforms, with a quandary.
The hope is YouTube will self-correct and walk back the way it enforces its policies surrounding gambling promotion. Or, at the very least, it might carve out online poker content from casino gambling.
If it doesn’t, the relationship between poker personalities and online poker sites may fundamentally change.
