Goods and services the advertising of which is forbidden or restricted

Yandex does not accept advertisements for certain products and services, and also applies additional rules to certain subjects. This is due to legal restrictions and Yandex's advertising requirements. Please make sure that your products/services do not fall into any of the prohibited categories and find out which documents you need to pass moderation.

Advertising materials (texts, keywords, and links) are normally moderated within several hours (no ads are reviewed at night). As a rule, the more ads a campaign contains, the longer the campaign takes to moderate. Moderation of contact information takes place during the business hours you indicate, so it may take 24 hours or more.

You'll receive the moderation results by email and will be able to see status of your ad campaign in the interface.
