It would be safe? I have seen lots of gambling related subreddit. Super high risk in terms of selling services related to it?
There would be no issue in indirect promotion. Check similar subreddits.

Casino/ Gambling is definitely one of the tougher niches all the time.
I’d focus heavily on genuine community value and avoid making the sub look like a promo hub.

Yes i think it can be work but gambling is definitely tricky niche. I'd keep the focus on building a real community and providing useful content rather than making it feel like a promo or sales subreddit. Good moderation and staying with reddit's rules would be key.

honestly if ur just building it for community that can work, but reddit's been cracking down hard on gambling subs lately. even with clean moderation theyre quick to ban em, so just know that risk is real. focus on quality content and legit discussion if u do go for it
It might be possible, but depends on the content. Because reddit acts like a dick
so test, but be careful. It's not as easy as running ads since you cant really do cloaking on a subreddit for the whole thing, but its worth giving it a try

Gambling is very tricky cause it's mostly promotional and very less value based content so that's where it becomes difficult to grow it to answer your Q yes you can def grow a sub in that niche but it's difficult to provide va;luable content.

What about the payment aspect? After all, there are many topics to discuss at every stage of the payment process.

You can do reverse engineering and see how other gambling subs are doing the payment part and try to replicate that since that must be working.
You can run one but gambling subs are very high risk for self promotion. Each subreddit has their own rules and many restrict casino promotion so you should build it around genuine discussion and check the rules befre monetizing.
