Gambling implies games that include bets and a promise of future remuneration in the form of money or items (such as placing wagers or playing in an online casino). Such activities come with certain risks and may cause financial or emotional harm.
Content that solicits readers to partake in gambling or tries to engage them in such activities (whether directly or indirectly) is banned in Yandex Zen.
We don't want content creators to capitalize on tragic events as a means to bolster user engagement. Such content is only permitted on condition that there are substantial grounds for describing events in detail and proper context is provided.

Each publication must stand on its own and be beneficial to users as is.
We regularly check content for originality and review copyright infringement reports.
