As millions of people watch, worries about gambling addiction and deceptive advertising have increased, causing YouTube to act.<\/p>\n<h2 data-start=\"906\" data-end=\"951\">New Age Restrictions and Policy Updates<\/h2>\n<p data-start=\"953\" data-end=\"1217\">The platform already prohibits linking to external sites that violate its guidelines, but the latest update adds stricter rules. Videos promoting online casinos will now face age restrictions, preventing users under 18 or those not logged in from accessing them.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1219\" data-end=\"1492\">YouTube spokesperson Boot Bullwinkle confirmed the policy changes, stating: <em>\u201cWe\u2019ve strengthened our policies that prohibit content directing viewers to unapproved gambling websites or applications. We will also begin age-restricting content that promotes online casinos.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1494\" data-end=\"1701\">Additionally, the platform will remove videos that claim \u201cguaranteed returns\u201d on gambling, even if linked to approved sites.
