Great Eye Elms! YouTube will most likely drop the hammer if you post a link to the gambling website. They have selective enforcement when it comes to “sort of” promoting gambling sites in the video itself.
A while back many poker vloggers/streamers who were affiliated with one gambling app/website or another were given strikes and even guys like Jeff Boski had the ban hammer come down on his YouTube channel. He never linked to America’s Card Room that I can remember, but he would state in the video to sign up there and use his promo code. He got his channel back and things kind of got back to normal. The “rules” were don’t link to the site and don’t explicitly promote the site in the video.
There was also a time where the YouTube Slot channels were being cracked down on. But that seemed to be sorted out and the channels were back to doing their thing. It does seem that YouTube gets their tits twisted every once and a while and comes down hard on gambling channels. However, lately there has been a bunch of guys streaming the online WSOP and plenty of channels that show online gambling. Again, as long as no links or plugs in the video they seem to be okay.
As for Chrissy he does this “I can’t tell you where I play” so send me a DM and I will tell you. So far they have let it slide. However, I don’t think it is a waste of time to report him. If the right person at YT sees his videos they will see that although not directly linking to the gaming site, he is essentially doing the same thing by just adding a step.
