Following the letter of the law it is illegal to target US users with gambling ads
Yet if can still targeted by territory, wher eis the problem.

So take something which maybe illegal or frowned upon in one country like "blue widgets", yet ads still appear because it's ok by Google & US standards. So basically Google still call the shots worldwide just bacuase blue widgets are illegal in the say the UK but ok the US. Google still allows ads for blue widgets to be advertised in the UK.

All they have to do is stop certain types of ads appearing in certain regions. The flexbility is already in the database for those regions. It's no more difficult to monitor what they already do.

Take a look at

A lot of these ads have been running for months, so it seems okay to set up a site with reviews..yet hear of so many getting knocked back.
