Google updates Gambling and Games Policy in France

Google is making significant changes to its Gambling and Games policy in France, effective January 22, 2024. The most notable change is the removal of the reference to online casino. This means that advertisers will no longer be able to promote online casinos using Google Ads.

Gambling France

This policy update will have a significant impact on marketing professionals in France who are working with gambling companies. They will need to be aware of the new requirements and make sure that their ads are compliant.

Google will still allow ads promoting the following types of gambling:
