FB unpublihing Gambling Pages?

[AussieDave]

I find the comments on that article more interesting then the article

I tend to find the comments of most article more interesting too.

just like rel="canonical", G+ was supposed to protect the orginal content ownership, that's why you'd link you site up to G+ (visa versa) in the 1'st place.
The social media aspect was a secondary pay-off.

Content is still being scraped and Google is still penalising the original content owner. That's a BIG Fail on both fronts imo. When Bing announced it was going to take on Google, I was quietly smiling, alas that ball got dropped too.

Yes I will agree with that! It did not turn out as expected in anyway. And I wish someone else would take on G... They have held to much power for to long... I also wish facebook would die lol but that is for many reasons..

Ryan what are your best alternatives? I thought Google+ was a failure?

Are you aware that your YouTube page has also been taken down...?

they don't like gambling do they?

They only like gambling if it makes them money too

Again it ALL stems on the size (popularity) of the FB fan page or with regard to YT the channel size.
I've had my YT channel since 2007 and that's just slots machines with website Branding.

It's not a large channel and I've never had videos deleted much less any warnings about the channel.

Again it seems to center around the popularity. if it's BIG and it's gambling FB wants a slice of the pie
Not sure if YT have a similar mindset ort if you can advertise there; I don't use it enough to know.

Without giving away your trade secrets, can you give us a ball part figure of subscribers?

I would be interested in knowing why they may have closed your channel? Did they give a reason? I hope it was not simply because it offered gambling related content...

Youtube started to close channels with online slots videos already months ago
We have posted an article about this already end Nov 2014 ... Is YouTube Taking a Stance on Internet Gambling?

 

[RyanWeb]

I was gone for a short period around that time... I guess I missed that... Well, I'll be creating a vimeo account later today if anyone is interested in networking.

Who doesn't. seems to be more about (c) that anything else.

Copywrite? From the article posted above, seems to be... Aside from making the clips shorter and removing any copyrighted audio.. I wounder if there is anything more we can do to not get caught up in the YouTube (c) net (no pun intended).

 

[slotplayer]

I don't know. I don't plan on making any you tube videos unless its a good idea but another video of yet another slot game spinning isn't imo.

 

[RyanWeb]

I have a bunch of videos I took of the slots when I was in Vegas... A few GoPro videos of the strip as well... IDK if those would get banned but ill give it a try... I asked the staff before I recorded the games... They said pictures only lol...

I really just the most popular ones, like the hangover slot and such.

 

[slotplayer]

still pictures only, wow. this day and age.

Our pages are still up (for now). Is it the linking to actual gambling sites that gets you banned? Or just having a page about gambling?

 

[tobbe]

Our YT channel was closed as well a few months back..

When following the link in your signature I get the following message:

Account has been terminated due to multiple or severe violations of our Community Guidelines and / or notifications of copyright infringement.

I bet it's the bold part. Some jealous competitor has reported you for using slot videos (if you did).

Talking about facebook.
Big casino names are allowed to advertise there while affiliate pages get banned.
This niche is also a hard one to get your followers to interact with you which is one of the main metrics FB use to control the reach of your posts. In my experience people prefer to not comment or share casino content with their family and love ones, I don't blame them, but it makes it a lot harder for us.
I'm abandoning FB and moving over to twitter.

The way Facebook do email gambling sites and demand money is nothing but extortion. It's not even a professionally worded email, just something like "You need to pay us $10,000 per month to reinstate your page".

This is simply extortion, and illegal in most countries in the world. Report it to your authorities - Facebook should not be allowed to operate like this in your country.

By the way, if you look at their terms page on the waybackmachine you'll find that they only introduced the term about gambling in 2014. So, they change the terms to suit themselves, they extort money from people.

It's not just gambling, some music bands have made it big on Facebook and then are extorted money too

Facebook are really riding a fine line as to was is completely illegal and what isn't. People could go to jail for a long time for this sort of activity.
