List Of Restricted Industries
Which industries are restricted or banned from mainstream providers?
Many industries face issues related to banking, payment processing, content publishing, and advertising.
Instead of being able to work with mainstream providers these restricted industries often must set up high-risk merchant accounts and pay a premium for banking and payment processing services. Additionally, many of these industries are forced to come up with creative ways to market their business or practice black-hat techniques due to being banned from advertising on mainstream platforms like Google Ads and Facebook.
