Facebook has reviewed its advertising policies and bingo has been added to the list of ‘morally unacceptable’ products.A Facebook announcement said that they would ban “gambling, including without limitation, any online casino, sports books, bingo, or poker.” Gambling is joined on the list by around twenty other products, including guns, tobacco, spy cameras, nudity, uncertified pharmaceuticals, inflammatory religious content and pyramid schemes.The ban comes despite the fact that in the UK online bingo is 100% legal and regulated by the government. However it is
thought that Facebook’s US management is concerned that they may leave themselves open to prosecution for aiding and abetting gambling if they take advertising.
