Gambling Related Site -- PPC

Please help! As I'm sure most of you know, the "major" PPC providers (Google, Overture, Looksmart...) no longer allow any gambling-related sites.

I have found a ton of small PPC providers that do allow gambling sites but do not seem to offer any worthwhile results.

Does anyone know of a good PPC advertising outlet for our type of site?

Any help here would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!

I don't know the answer to your question, but I have another one:
Does anybody have any idea why advertising for gambling is not allowed? I mean, for "normal" porn there is virtually no limit, but for gambling is forbidden...

Overture still allow casino ads in the UK.

What about a new system which would allow casino and gambling advertisers to advertise?

I dont know any pay-per-click but I do know most gambling sites tend to rely on bulk email advertising and affiliate sites.

Something about federal courts, cross State legislation on Gambling and a whole big load of Republi.... I think I better stop ;)

Basically people were able to gamble online where gambling was actually illegal. I know this was the States first, but for some unknown reason Google thought it necessary to apply this worldwide - now there's something I as an investor would not be happy about (especially as Overture and Espotting still carry Casino ads in the UK)

Hope that isn't wrong - am doing from memory about 2 years back... ;)

Roar.com allows them, still. They're in Australia, so the US crackdown hasn't affected them (many parked domains use their PPC results for gambling terms).
