In February, Google began testing casino game ads across mobile apps, search, display and video.

Now some AdSense publishers are receiving emails informing them of a “Sensitive category update.” This is to warn them that they may start seeing these casino ads on their own web sites and if they do not want them there, they can opt out.

The email/notification reads:

Social casino games are simulated gambling games where there is no opportunity to win anything of value (such as money or prizes). Examples include, without limitation, poker, slots, bingo, lotteries, sports betting, betting on races, as well as other card games and casino games.

I think it might bring some life to these AdSense ads.
