Can I opt out of gambling ads?

[KCarr29]

I hear gambling ads so often during podcasts (I pay for premium - I know ads are part of this). Gambling addiction is an issue in my family. Can I opt out of these ads? I skip whenever I can but the frequency seems to be increasing.

Hey @KCarr29,

Thanks for coming to the Community to share your feedback.

Currently, it’s, unfortunately, not possible to opt out of those ads, as they’re included in podcast episodes (they’re directly added by the podcaster).

However, I appreciate your input and encourage you to support this similar idea: https://community.spotify.com/t5/Live-Ideas/Remove-inappropriate-ad-inserts-from-podcats/idi-p/59435... 🙂

I agree. This is tortuous. I have slowed down my podcast listening. Back to books on tape. Tobacco companies can’t advertise for the same reason… what gives?
