Officially, gaming activities are regulated at 2 levels: federal governments and local laws. One of the most significant documents is the Federal Wire Act, which has an interstate power. As for states, only seven of them allow iGaming and sports predictions:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Connecticut<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Delaware<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Michigan<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>New Jersey<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Pennsylvania<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rhode Island<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>West Virginia (except for classic-style themes like dice or roulette)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>States that legalized all forms of online gaming and sports predictions. However, this doesn&#8217;t mean that other states prohibit such activities entirely. The rest may put hard restrictions on, say, online games of chance like they do in Florida. California has banned Sweepstakes with dual currency systems (they usually mimic to giveaways). But some forms of gaming like social casinos or fantasy sports are still hard to be framed within the regulatory frameworks.<br><br>Overall, all legislative initiatives are implemented by the state government and federal laws. Each state regulates what type of gaming is allowed, how to obtain licenses, who is allowed to play, and how iGaming providers can communicate with their audience. When you enter the US market, look deeper at the local legislation, since gaming age and other specifics can vary, and you can easily violate state laws by mistake.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>General rules for iGaming promotion in the US<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Each state applies its own regulations of advertising. For instance, the New York regulatory bodies had to respond to soaring concerns over gaming addiction. The legislation, S1550\/A1118, mandates that all advertisements, including mobile ones, must include warnings about the potentially harmful and addictive effects. And in the future, we&#8217;ll surely witness even more clarifications. But let&#8217;s focus on standard requirements for marketers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>You can&#8217;t target iGaming offers at audiences under the age of 21 in sports predictions, online gaming and similar activities.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Advertisements mustn&#8217;t include celebs and other authoritative people from the sports pool: coaches, players, league managers, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ads can&#8217;t be misleading or deliberately deceptive.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Responsible gaming: every ad should include a problem-gaming hotline phone number.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>In general, even if you&#8217;re fully allowed to advertise gaming houses (like in Nevada) your ad message must be tactful, not pushy, and respectful in order to inform rather than put pressure on your audience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The<\/strong> <strong>US iGaming regulatory institutions<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Over 20 <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Category:Gambling_regulators_in_the_United_States\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">US iGaming regulators<\/a> are in charge of responsible business locally.

As you might have noticed, advertisers must pass the verification and get a special permission by Meta of Google to run ads.&nbsp;<br><br>Another fundamental aspect of a successful campaign start is to include evidence demonstrating licensing or lawful iGaming activity in targeted territories.<br><br>Advertising creatives are subject to verification, as well. In most cases, you\u2019re not allowed to guarantee winning or call up for \u201centering the game.\u201d Many platforms prohibit using photos of sports players or celebrities unless they\u2019ve signed up a contract with an operator.<br><br>The next vital part of an online campaign is the advertising format. Here, we\u2019re facing some regulations again. For example, Google blocks the following ad formats when you advertise iGaming offers:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Gmail ads<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Product advertisements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Reserved media placements<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>User ratings<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>Alternative traffic sources for iGaming operators and affiliates<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Non-mainstream advertising network allows you to promote your iGaming products on thousands of websites whose owners have permitted such ads.<br><br>Along with stable traffic volumes, such networks offer a wide range of ad formats that you can modify to fit your message.<br><br>Why do non-mainstream traffic providers usually not put severe limitations on iGaming ads? To begin with, they deal with direct publishers who agree to display such creatives. Second, all creatives and landing pages are pre-moderated manually, which is not feasible on giant platforms. As an outcome, advertisers can access the same audiences, staying compliant and avoiding severe penalties.<br><br>Let&#8217;s walk through the key advantages of ad networks with a high reputation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p><em>A non-mainstream advertising network allows you to promote your iGaming products on thousands of websites whose owners have permitted such ads.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>Advantages of non-mainstream advertising networks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Campaigns get verified faster.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>&nbsp;Access to <strong>assets with creatives.<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Vertical-specific, expert advice:<\/strong> apply for competitive rates, get advice on the best-performing creatives, and ask for an assessment of your bid strategy.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>An opportunity to launch <strong>managed campaigns<\/strong> if you represent a brand or agency.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Almost no rules for creatives except for general restrictions: misleading ads, ads exposing violence, etc.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>High volumes<\/strong> of relevant traffic.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A variety of advertising formats that don&#8217;t limit you by verticals\/offers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A large amount of <strong>niche traffic with high CR <\/strong>and CTR.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Most-used payment systems.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>In-built stats reports.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Cost-optimization tools and fast whitelising.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/blogdev.adsterratech.com\/blog\/location-based-targeting\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Location targeting settings<\/a> to avoid regulated areas.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p>Summing up, an ad network is a large-scale and high-quality source of traffic, which will allow you to increase ROI with fewer requirements to an offer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:50px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading content-title\"><strong>Disadvantages of non-mainstream ad networks<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Limited targeting options.
