A gambling advert<\/a> which included fluffy animals<\/a> has been prohibited after being branded “careless” by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).<\/p>\n

The video ad<\/a> for Gala Spins<\/a> – part of the FTSE 100-listed gambling giant GVC Holdings<\/a> – featured<\/a> 5 toy animals<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The ASA ruled<\/a> the ad “was most likely to be of particular attract under-18s” and for that reason “the advertisement was careless”.<\/p>\n

The owner of Gala Spins said it had actually removed the advert from all its channels.<\/p>\n

The post in August featured<\/a> a video caption reading<\/a> “it’s a rollercoaster of cuteness” and a video showing “fluffy favourite” toy animals.<\/p>\n

It prompted a complaint to the marketing guard<\/a> dog that the content of the advert was most likely to interest kids.<\/p>\n

The ASA agreed<\/a> and said: “Gambling ads need to not be most likely to be of particular appeal to children or young adults, especially by reflecting or being related to youth culture.<\/p>\n

“We considered that the advertisement<\/a> was likely to be of particular attract<\/a> under-18s and for that reason concluded that the ad was careless and breached<\/a> the [advertising] special code yohaig<\/a>.”<\/p>\n

It said its designated target audience was ladies aged between 18 and 65 thinking about betting.<\/p>\n

Gala Spins was censured by the watchdog 2 years ago for connecting gambling and ability in an advert.<\/p>\n

Among its TV advertisements featured a guy playing on his tablet with a voiceover suggesting: “Try it now and see if you have actually got the talent.”<\/p>\n

The ASA ruled that the line “see if you have actually got the skill” was successfully an invitation to gamble online in the context of the yohaig code<\/a> ad, and for that reason indicated that viewers might utilize ability to enhance their opportunities of winning.<\/p>\n

Gala Spins becomes part of Gibraltar-based LC International which in turn is owned by GVC Holdings, which bought Ladbrokes Coral in 2018.<\/p>\n

In 2015, GVC processed \u20a4 11.2bn-worth of sports wagers through its different brands, consisting of Bwin, Coral, Crystalbet, Eurobet, Ladbrokes, Neds International and Sportingbet.<\/p>\n
