ASA Bans Casino Ad
The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA), a UK based organization ensuring casino ads are appropriate and specific regulations were being conformed to has announced the ban of another online casino advertisement. Tombola Bingo is the latest casino to feel the wrath of the ASA. The advertisement was lifted by the ASA despite arguments from Tombola Bingo that they had notified the government of the contents and specific of the ad.
Several ads have been lifted
for a number of reasons as of late by the ASA. The ASA has lifted ads
from various casinos due to the explicit nature for children; others
were banned for their attempt at different uses to promote problem gambling.
The major complaint against
the Tombola Bingo casino ad was the fact that there was a playground
in the advertisement and this was appealing to children. A major concern
that the ASA has are ads geared towards children and specifics that
may entice children. For that reason the ad was lifted, however Tombola
Bingo is arguing that they alerted the government of the contents of
the ad. Their argument is a lost cause and the ad is still being prohibited.
