Do they allow crypto ads that are not from official platforms like i mean big platforms well known? Because i see ads from big platforms like very well known platforms but for small platforms I think its harder?
 
They are strict about crypto ads, but cloaking is the solution. It's not 100% easy but with some work you can do it.
 
From what I've seen, it's not really about being a big brand versus a small brand.
The bigger platforms typically have the licenses, compliance processes, and certifications already in place.
Smaller platforms often struggle because those requirements can be difficult to satisfy.
 
Actually, Google Ads restrictions for crypto ads has nothing to do with brand name and everything to do with local regulatory licenses. Certain ads like for Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs), trading signals, etc are not at all allowed. Ofcourse, running cloaked ads is a different ball game.
 
Google allows crypto ads only through select channels that has google certification
 
From what ive seen yeah big platforms def get easier approval, coinbase binance etc just get through them i guess you need some certificates etc to run your ads otherwise you can use some of the crypto native ad networks

Yes, Google allows certain crypto ads (such as exchanges and wallets) in many regions, but advertisers must meet Google's certification and local regulatory requirements.
 
Usually, small or new crypto platforms face more restrictions. However, even for certified advertisers, there are geographic restrictions. Certain regions may have stricter regulations regarding cryptocurrency advertising, which can affect whether ads are allowed.
 
Many ad networks are careful with crypto ads because of scams in the industry. That's why established platforms often get approved, while newer or lesser-known platforms may face more restrictions.

This person is a scammer and deceives forum users into transferring money to purchase advertising accounts. After receiving the payment, he blocks the users.
 
yes, harder is the right word

big platforms get through easier because google already knows them, some have certifications, and they have the budget/teams to stay compliant
 
From what I've seen, Google does allow crypto ads, but it depends on the country and the advertiser meeting certain requirements.

There are usually policy restrictions in place.
So not every crypto related ad gets approved.
Best to check Google's latest guidelines always.

Google definitely does not allow running crypto ads. However, you will find that there are still many such ads on Google. Most of them are advertised through cloaking. certificate is also essential, that allows the ads to remain active for a longer duration.
 
Yeah, Google allows crypto ads, but smaller platforms usually have a tougher time. It's not really about being famous, it's more about meeting Google's certification and compliance requirements.

I've seen smaller exchanges run ads too, but they often get limited or rejected if their paperwork, licensing, or landing pages aren't up to Google's standards. Big brands just tend to have fewer trust/compliance issues, so approval is easier.
 
Crypto ads are not fully banned anymore, but google checks location, licenses and business type. many advertisers get rejected if policies are not followed properly.
 
Google is more open to crypto than before, but risky or misleading promotions still face restrictions. policy checks are much strict now.
 
They will ask you for a licence for this, though this will depend on the country you are in.
 
Small crypto platforms can advertise, but many ad networks are pretty cautious with crypto. that is probably why you see more ads from larger, recognized companies.
 
yeah google allows crypto ads but smaller platforms usually have a harder time. u often need proper licenses/certifications depending on the country, while big well known exchanges already meet most of the requirements so approval is much easier for them.

For crypto , you would require a google ad acc which has crypto certification enabled in it
