What its rules say about promotion
No Blog & Website Spam
Promoting your own blog or website is allowed in this subreddit, but as per Reddit's "Self-Promotion Guidelines": For every one (1) time you post a link to your blog or website, roughly nine (9) other posts (submissions or comments) should not contain these types of links. In general, if a user were to visit your profile, they should not see the same post, comment or website numerous times in a row.
No Referral Link & Code Spam
Referral links and referral codes are allowed in this subreddit, but only when used to supplement informative/helpful contributions. Posts that simply say "Use this link and we both get $25" or "Join this site and you'll get $100 in bonuses" are not allowed and will be considered spam.
No Self Promotion Spam
We do not allow persistent promotion of your Twitch, YouTube, Twitter, Telegram or Discord. Any post along the lines of "I am live on Twitch" or "Follow me on Instagram" are not allowed and will be considered spam.
No Sports Pick Sharing
Sharing your winning (or losing) betslips **after** the matches have completed is fine, but please do not post your bet predictions in this community. Selling your sports picks or advertising places where you are selling picks is also not allowed, nor are any "fixed" betting related posts.
No Selling Player Accounts
Selling, sharing, or transferring your player account and/or rewards card is strictly prohibited at every reputable casino and gambling site. For the safety of the users in this community, we will not allow contributions of this kind. Any attempt to buy or sell an account in this subreddit will result in an immediate, permanent ban.
No Astroturfing
Marketing campaigns masked in the form of unsolicited reviews or recommendations are not allowed. If a reader were to visit your profile, they should not see the same website mentioned repeatedly.

What the written rules don't show
- Unpublished minimums. Many communities remove posts from new or low-karma accounts through AutoModerator settings that are not on the rules page, often before a moderator sees them.
- Reddit's own filters. Reddit's site-wide spam filters can remove posts from accounts that mostly share links to their own site, in any community.
- The community's norms. Many communities see themselves as peers, not an audience: post where you already take part, and make the post worth reading without the link.
