What triggers it
Depicting or promoting real-money online gambling (sports betting, casino, lotteries, sweepstakes), social casino games, or free-to-play games with gambling mechanics.
What Instagram says
“Content that attempts to sell, trade, depict or promote social casino games that simulate gambling games such as slot machines, where there is no opportunity to win money or money’s worth.”

How to fix it
Remove promo codes and gambling-app screens if teens are in the audience; never claim guaranteed wins.
Good to know
Slot streams, betting-app screens, promo codes and bet slips. Guaranteed-win claims, rigged-match claims or gambling promos disguised with unrelated text are removed under Prohibited Commercial Practices (see scams).
