Type B Ads and Borderline Content Policies and Guidelines

Some practices that are on the verge of crossing the line of acceptability, but do not fully violate industry guidelines, are allowed within the system. These ads and landing pages often contain controversial or risky content that pushes boundaries, yet still falls within permissible limits. However, such content requires careful review to ensure it doesn’t eventually breach any rules or result in rejection. 

Important Note: Ads of this nature typically have a more limited traffic reach. To determine if your ad falls under this category, please monitor notifications in the Dashboard.
