YouTube will soon restrict the creators to mention certain online game sites

YouTube is adjusting its policies in the content of gambling. The platform has announced that will soon prohibit creators verbally refer to game services not approved by Google, as well as show their logos and link them in videos.

The new rules, which enter into force on March 19, can also put age restrictions on videos on the game online. That means that spectators under 18, or anyone who has not signed on YouTube, will not be able to watch these videos. YouTube says that this rule excludes videos that show online sports bets and people who play in person.

YouTube also notes that it can eliminate the content “promising guaranteed returns”, whether Google has approved or not the game service in question. “We know that this update can affect the creators who focus on the content of online gaming such as casino games and applications, but we believe that these changes are a necessary step to protect our community, especially younger spectators,” says YouTube in the announcement.
