A gambling licence and Google certification therefore do not automatically secure the homepage slot.<\/p>\n<p>The change also follows tighter certification requirements introduced on 14 September 2026. Google now requires advertisers across gambling and games categories to demonstrate <em>\u2018good policy health\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>For eligible operators, country rules remain central. Advertisers must apply separately for each target country, meet local licensing requirements and display responsible gambling information on landing pages.

Its policy classifies those businesses as <em>\u2018online gambling-promoting content\u2019<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p>The October update broadens access beyond sports betting, which Google allowed in the Masthead from September 2022.
