YouTube keeps showing me ads for online casinos even though I have marked Gambling as a "don't show me this" category in my profile. There doesn't not appear to be any straight-forward way to report this to YouTube. Perhaps they find the complaints too inconvenient.

The cynic in me would suggest that by telling YouTube that you don't want to be targeted by gambling ads, you're implicitly telling them that you're more likely to be taken in by gambling ads thus making you more likely to click through and spend money.
wow, that's horrible and predatory. sueball!
