How can I block gambling ads from my Facebook newsfeed ??

There is no option in the settings.

Its strange you can block Alcohol, Parenting and Pets related but not gambling.

Hi magic, 

changing your Facebook age to under 18 works great , as you’ll know longer meet the criteria of people they’re trying to reach.

On the app. 

Setting 》 Privacy Shortcuts 》 Ad preferences 》 Hide Ad topics 》 Suggest other topics. 

I wrote gambling and I haven't seen one since on FB. 

Hope that helps.
