Facebook Allowing Online Gambling Advertisement

10 November 2011
Following a number of proposed alterations, such as chat features, privacy settings as well as video calling, etc, Facebook has become easily the most popular and effective social networking website. And now, it has changed several advertising guidelines. One of the highlight of changes is that online casino advertisements are going to be allowed to be posted on the website. This will give the casino websites, poker websites, sports betting websites, lotteries, and numerous other gambling groups the opportunity to target their major demographic on Facebook.

Facebook had been banning online gambling advertisements on their website, but recently it is looking to boost their profit and one of the ways to achieve this is to offer additional industries with the place to advertise on the website. And of course, there will be some regulations which must be followed to permit advertisements. One of the most crucial rules is that the online gambling website must follow the local laws in the area.
