Gambling Fatigue: What Top Media Buyers Are Switching to in 2025
Intro
Gambling has long been a top vertical in affiliate arbitrage, but by 2025, many pros have shifted away from it. The reasons? Overregulation, constant bans, and ad fatigue. Let’s explore what verticals are replacing gambling and how top arbitrage teams are adapting.
Why Gambling Is Burning Out
- Strict Regulations — More GEOs are banning or restricting gambling ads.
- Massive Competition — Too many players → low ROI.
- Aggressive Moderation — Bans on creatives, ad accounts, and even domains.
- Audience Burnout — Same creatives recycled too much.
The result: even with warmed-up accounts, it's harder to get profit than it used to be.
