THE SHORT ANSWER

Start with the essentials

Review readiness starts with actual product mechanics and the target country. Assess local requirements, Google advertising eligibility, account certification and consistency between creative and destination. Social casino and real-money products follow distinct paths. LLF Ads helps organize checks and revisions through official processes; approval remains the platform’s decision.

01

Identify the product and market

Record real-money staking, real-world prizes and redemption mechanics, then review the operating entity, domains and authorization scope. Social casino is not a substitute category for a real-money business. Google country rules, local law and store policies apply separately; previous delivery is not proof of current eligibility.

02

Use the current certification route

Check the latest Gambling and games policy for product categories, countries and application instructions. Reviewed on 4 October 2026, Google states that social casino certification applications begin moving from the Help Center into Google Ads accounts in September 2026, without affecting applications already submitted. Follow the actual account workflow and subsequent official updates.

03

Align the ad with its destination

Check gameplay, rewards and brand statements across text, images, video, landing pages and store listings. Required disclosures should be visible, and buttons and destination links should work. Avoid misleading income claims or presenting a no-cashout product as a way to win cash. Preserve asset versions and review notes to explain subsequent revisions.

04

Respond to disapproval with evidence

Retain the policy message and affected assets. Identify the account, product, market or creative issue, then use the official correction and appeal process. Record changes and feedback instead of repeatedly submitting without a basis. Domain switching, concealed content and review evasion are not optimization methods; useful preparation reduces errors and avoidable rework.
