Ask HN: Do you accept advertising from online poker sites?

4 points by aderaynal 14y ago ↗ HN

I run a fantasy sports website in the US, and I was contacted by a poker site that wants to place a button ad on my site.

Should I accept ? Is it ok to displays ads for oversees gambling sites ? do I risk anything ?

Thanks for your feedback!

If this is real poker (meaning, with real money), I would stay far, far, away... I don't think anything would happen in the short term, but it's just such a slippery slope, don't get me started.

all right, I will stay away from it... my partner was a bit reluctant anyway.

Sounds like it could come with some headaches (bots, google thinking the wrong things about your site, potential for your users to get scammed, etc).
