William Hill Advert Linked Betting to Sexual Success<\/strong><\/p>\n

William Hill advert connected wagering to sexual success<\/p>\n

15 May 2019<\/p>\n

An advert for a wagering firm seen on the dating app<\/a> Tinder has actually been prohibited for connecting gambling to sexual success.<\/p>\n

The ad for William<\/a> Hill, which was sent out as a message<\/a> to users, read: “Stuck in the pal zone? You won’t be for much longer if you utilize this promotion code<\/a> Cheltenham [horse racing] totally free bet deal.”<\/p>\n

It was followed by a link to download the William Hill app.<\/p>\n

But the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) said it needs to not appear again in its present type.<\/p>\n

It stated that, according to marketing rules, betting ads<\/a> need to not connect<\/a> betting<\/a> to “seduction, sexual success or boosted beauty”.<\/p>\n

“We considered that the text … suggested that those who bet would be most likely to develop a relationship into a sexual relationship and therefore connected gaming with sexual success,” it said.<\/p>\n

William Hill<\/a> initially protected<\/a> the March advert after a customer complained<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The firm said who signed up would “participate in a relationship with William Hill”, and the advert was supposed<\/a> to relate this to the nature of business<\/a> they were promoting on – Tinder.<\/p>\n

It said it was not its intent to connect betting to sexual success.<\/p>\n

However, upon reflection it concurred the ad could have been misinterpreted and took it down voluntarily.<\/p>\n

William Hill stated: “We take on board what the ASA have said about this specific advert and have removed it from blood circulation.”<\/p>\n

Tinder on the other hand stated it had examined the ad before publishing it, finding it was not socially<\/a> reckless, offending or targeting minors.<\/p>\n

‘Speechless’<\/p>\n

Campaigners have been requiring tougher guideline<\/a> of gambling advertising<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Register<\/a><\/p>\n

One, the Bishop of St Albans, Dr Alan Smith, stated he was “left speechless” by ads like William Hill’s.<\/p>\n

“The betting market’s method to self-regulation appears farcical as more of these adverts are exposed. I fear some betting firms are now running under a ‘do not get caught’ mentality.<\/p>\n

“The ASA’s robust<\/a> action should be a wake-up call to the industry.”<\/p>\n
