YouTube is BANNING CRYPTO & NFTs starting November 17 But not fully. Youtube just changed its rules, and it’s going to DIRECTLY impact blockchain, NFT, and web3 gaming content across Youtube and Google YouTube now classifies “online gambling with digital goods that have monetary value” under its gambling policy : "This includes NFTs, tokens, skins, and in-game items that can be bought, sold, or traded for any monetary value or real money If your video depicts, promotes, or facilitates gameplay where players can win, lose, stake, or wager assets with real-world value, it’s now considered gambling content, expect takedowns, strikes, or age restrictions" They’re also tightening rules on social casino content, casino-style games like slots or roulette or any other gambling content will now be age-restricted, EVEN IF no real money is used This policy goes further though - Tutorials showing mints, wallet connections, or token purchases tied to assets with monetary value might get flagged - Sponsored content promoting token-based gameplay, drops, or marketplaces could violate ad and gambling rules So even if you’re not running a gambling site, your web3 integrations can trigger the same penalties; age restriction, removal and strikes In short ✅Gameplay = mostly safe ⚠️Anything that looks like staking, earning, or cashing out = high risk 💀Sponsored NFT/token videos = likely restricted or removed Tag a creator who should know about this ASAP
