Common ad mistakes we check for

  1. 01

    Gambling as a way out of money worries

    Ads must not suggest gambling can solve financial concerns or be an alternative to work.

  2. 02

    Gambling as an escape or a boost to confidence

    Linking gambling to escaping problems, status or self-esteem is not allowed.

  3. 03

    Strong appeal to under-18s

    Youth culture, cartoon styles or people with strong appeal to under-18s can make an ad unacceptable.

  4. 04

    People who are or look under 25

    No one who is, or seems, under 25 may be shown gambling or playing a significant role, with limited exceptions.

  5. 05

    Free bets and bonuses without the terms

    Significant conditions such as wagering, minimum deposits and expiry need to be clear in the ad.
