Publishers may not ask others to click their ads or use deceptive implementation methods to obtain clicks.

Publishers outside a limited group of countries are not allowed to place ads on any gambling content or on any pages with links to gambling content. This includes any content that allows users to place bets or play games in exchange for an opportunity to earn money or other prizes.
