Facebook's policy on gambling advertising
Gambling-related ads are allowed if they comply with the policies below and the advertiser has received the proper Google Ads certification.

Check local regulations for the areas you want to target.
Adverts that promote or facilitate online real money gambling, real money games of skill or real money lotteries, including online real money casinos, sport books, bingo or poker, are only allowed with prior written permission. Authorised gambling, games of skill or lottery adverts must target people over the age of 18 who are in jurisdictions for which permission has been granted.
Examples of what is not permitted include:
- Portraying or encouraging irresponsible gambling behaviour
- Presenting gambling as an income opportunity or employment alternative
- Content using currency symbols unrealted to a specific monetary amount
What you can do to limit gambling ads
GambleAware is unaware of any general facility to limit exposure to gambling ads.
You can block tweets from individual gambling companies. Click the down arrow and look for the option to 'Block @...'
If the tweet is an advert, you can in the same menu select 'I don't like this ad'
You can also select 'Why am I seeing this ad', and access these two pages using the links provided here.
Here you can disconnect other apps you might have allowed to connect to your Twitter account, and various other options for reviewing and amending the profile advertisers use to target you.
On this page, you can de-select interests which might be a cause for more gambling-related content - one of which is potentially 'gambling' but also un-ticking sport related interests such as 'Football' could also help
Un-ticking some or all of the options on this page may reduce the data by which gambling-related advertisers may be targeting you
This is not an exact science, and amending the settings above will not guarantee you are protected from seeing gambling-related content and adverts, but it may help reduce the volume.

With Schaumburg residents able to apply for one or more of the village's five video gambling cafe licenses after Jan. 1, officials are reducing the minimum size for such businesses and clarifying some of the other rules about their operation.
Gambling Policy Twitter Site
Hotels and restaurants with liquor licenses in Schaumburg have been able to have up to six video gambling machines each since the beginning of the year.
But gambling cafes -- in which the machines are the primary business and the food and beverage service secondary -- won't be allowed until the new year. Residents can apply for licenses in 2021 and nonresidents beginning in 2022.
Trustees this week unanimously recommended reducing the minimum size of gambling cafes from 2,000 square feet to 1,500 square feet, as well as lowering the minimum capacity from 30 patrons to 20.
Schaumburg faced some criticism late last year for establishing a minimum size well above the industry norm.
Schaumburg resident Ken Patel has asked the village whether he would be able to acquire more than one -- or even all five -- of Schaumburg's cafe licenses.
Trustees decided they wouldn't establish a one-license-per-person policy but stated that all applicants would have to respect a first-come, first-served practice when seeking approval of individual proposals. No one can ask for multiple licenses without a specific plan for each.
They also determined a gambling cafe can't partner with a separately owned business to meet the cafe's food and beverage requirement. They must have a minimum 12 food items available during all hours of operation.

Apart from how the state might view such a separation of responsibilities on a license application, Trustee Frank Kozak pointed out that the closing of a partnering restaurant would effectively close the gambling cafe as well.
