Are online gambling sites allowed on shopify?

[tommyz23]

Hello Shopify Community,

I hope this message finds you well. I am currently exploring the possibility of developing an online gambling store and am considering using Shopify as the platform. However, I am uncertain about the platform's policies regarding such content.

Could anyone please provide insights or guidance on whether Shopify allows the development and use of online gambling stores? Additionally, if there are specific guidelines or restrictions in place, I would appreciate any information on how to navigate them.

Thank you in advance for your assistance.

Best regards,

Tommy

Where did you end up hosting your gambling site?

I had a site with Shopify and they shut me down due to gambling merch

You can create a custom report by adjusting your sales data manually. Maybe consider using a negative sales adjustment or a refund with a note explaining the fraud. It might also help to contact Shopify support to see if they have any other solutions. It’s always good to report the fraud to authorities too, just to cover all bases.

I’ve looked into this myself. Shopify does have strict policies when it comes to online gambling. They generally don’t allow gambling stores unless they meet very specific conditions. You might find it easier to go with platforms specifically designed for gambling sites. Shopify’s terms are pretty clear about prohibiting certain types of high-risk businesses, including gambling. It’s worth reaching out directly to Shopify support to get a definitive answer and see if there are any workarounds or special permissions you might need.
