Google to allow gambling ads for UK & Ireland

[Fintan]

Word got out yesterday that google is allowing gambling ads on ppc. You must be a licensed operator and can only target UK & Ireland.

There will be blood in streets

A licensed operator to publish or to advertise ? (this is possibly a stupid question, but maybe it's too early this morning to think).

Interesting development.

I wonder how that will affect publishers

 

[Briask]

Is there an official note from Google about it?

Google reintroduces gambling ads for users in Great Britain | Media | guardian.co.uk
one news article I found

Wondered if this would happen..suppose its just a matter of time. Good timing too what with the global ecomonic "crisis"...

Will keep an eye out for how this plays out...interesting development indeed.

I've only seen references to the UK, but not Ireland. It's almost a license to print money

any update on this at all?
