Adsense for gaming sites–some questions

gaylem asked 4 years ago
1) I have not used adsense at any of my gaming sites, but I saw this recently

Around March 2015, AdSense will begin supporting inventory for a new standard sensitive ad category, Social Casino Games, as part of a limited beta program. The beta will be supported in English only.

“Social Casino Games” are defined as simulated gambling games (including, without limitation, poker, slots, bingo, lotteries, sports betting, betting on races, as well as other card games and casino games) where there is no opportunity to win anything of value (such as money or prizes).

Standard sensitive categories are allowed by default. Learn how to opt-out of this sensitive category.

For more information regarding the AdWords advertiser beta program, see Social casino games beta program in the AdWords Policy Center.

2) If you reside in Canada (my site is hosted in Canada also), you can participate in adsense.
According to Google–you are allowed to monetize pages with online gambling, information about online gambling content and pages that link to gambling content. Gambling content includes: online casino games, sports betting, bingo, lotteries, tips, odds, handicapping, mahjong, educational/supplemental materials and bonus codes.
a) Are there any Canadian affiliate site owners that participate? b) Is it profitable and worth the effort and G screening process? c) do you offer other monetization methods at your site?
Thanks for your input.
