Here's the thing. Let's say that you're in the "Stop Gambling" section. And let's say I throw some AdSense ads on there. What is the main keyword that Google is going to index and display ads about? Gambling! To a bunch of people who would love to do nothing more than visit an online casino! Heheheh, I'm totally kidding. But it is a good question. And exactly the reason why I spend my time on the easy stuff like the basic ideas instead of the hard stuff like how the heck anyone would actually get paid. :) Ahh, you guys stumbled on to the dirty little secret of this idea – ads.

Monetization? Well the bevy of ads, complete SMO and SEO, etc. Maybe even have some sort of kitty that the site would get a percentage of (for overhead/fees/whatever to get around the gambling sites, etc.) and the participants are really competing against each other and get paid by the other competitors (out of the site controlled escrow account (minus fees of course)).
