YouTube allows signed-in users to limit gambling advertisements through Google's My Ad Center sensitive topic controls.
What this means for you
Turning Gambling off under Sensitive topics ("Limited by you") should significantly reduce dedicated gambling ads you see while signed in. It is not a full block: only signed-in activity is covered, ads on unrelated topics that mention gambling (for example a sports ad referencing odds) may still appear, and your own search activity can still surface gambling ads.
