As the digital landscape evolves, companies specializing in sports betting advertising on social media platforms face stricter oversight; they must now complete extensive paperwork and provide proof of valid state gaming licenses to ensure compliance.
- The California-based company unveiled new rules for advertisers pitching real-money games on its social media platforms to crack down on ads run by black market and offshore operators.
- Under the company’s new guidelines, advertisers will be required to fill out more paperwork, perhaps show gaming licenses, and prove they’re in compliance in the jurisdictions in which the ads will run.
- If an operator such as DraftKings or FanDuel wants to run ads targeting bettors in Ohio, the companies would need to prove to Meta that their licenses are valid in that state and that they’re in compliance with the state’s regulations.
The Scope of Meta’s New Rules
META Platforms is tightening its standards for online betting advertisements that run on Facebook and Instagram, which are two of the world’s biggest social media sites.
Why Meta Rules Matter to the Industry
The sports wagering industry has relied heavily on television advertising, but social media platforms are vital to operators’ quest to lure bettors from younger demographics.
- By some estimates, outside of China, Google parent Alphabet, Meta, and Amazon control nearly 90% of the global internet advertising market.
- The good news is that Meta isn’t making things overly burdensome on the gaming industry.
In addition to free-to-play games being exempt from Meta’s new protocols, so are land-based casinos, prize promotions requiring a purchase, and state lotteries.
A New Window of Opportunity
To boost ad revenue, Meta announced last month it will allow businesses to run ads on WhatsApp, its popular messaging service.
However, the social media giant didn’t mention WhatsApp in connection with the new rules for betting ads.
It’s possible gaming companies will find WhatsApp to be a desirable advertising venue because it has three billion global monthly users, 100 million of whom reside in the US.
Conclusion
Meta’s stricter standards on betting ads aim to crack down on black market and offshore operators by requiring advertisers to prove their compliance with state regulations.
