Global Yahoo Advertising Policies

Advertising for sites promoting offline gambling establishments or events in accordance with local, state and federal laws and regulations are acceptable; however, any potential advertising opportunities involving offline gambling will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis by the Yahoo Ad Policy team.

• Advertising for sites promoting offline gambling establishments such as casinos or race tracks, and events such as the Kentucky Derby, is acceptable, provided the sites:

do not falsely or unfairly raise hopes and expectations of winning;

are in conformance with all legal requirements including, but not limited to, 18 U.S.C. 1304 and provide documentation of state licensing, if applicable;

do not include or link to unlawful (i) online gambling opportunities or (ii) online gaming sites that leverage gambling-like behavior.

• Ads for offline gambling establishments must be in context of the area(s) in which they are promoted (e.g., promoted by locale–or within the context of vacationing or traveling).

• Advertising for legitimate state-run lotteries is acceptable. A “lottery” is defined as a promotion in which all elements of consideration, chance and prize are present. Such sites must not include or link to (i) online gambling opportunities or (ii) online gaming sites that leverage gambling-like behavior. Promotion of lotteries outside of their legally permitted area is not allowed.

Ads for land-based casinos are not allowed in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Thailand, Vietnam, Algeria, Bahrain, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates, and Yemen.

Ads for land-based casinos are not allowed in Singapore or the Philippines unless authorized by their respective governments.
