The
Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has announced that age restriction violations in UK gambling advertisements have fallen, according to its latest report.
Adverts involving gambling, alcohol, tobacco and other products deemed adult oriented or harmful to children were analysed over a three month period from October to December 2020 using monitoring tools.
Across a sample of 49 websites and 12 YouTube channels, a total of 47 age-restricted advertisements were found to have violated the ASA’s regulations.
A further 21 advertisers placed age-restricted marketing programmes on eight YouTube channels and 23 websites with a predominately underage viewership.
