The United Kingdom’s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has shifted its focus to the rapidly expanding realm of competitive gaming wagers. As conventional athletic events were postponed during the global health crisis, this sector experienced a surge in interest, prompting a rush by companies to secure new clients. To guarantee ethical conduct, the ASA has been carefully examining esports betting promotions, especially those on digital platforms, to confirm their adherence to advertising rules and prevent the exploitation of consumers. They have provided operators with recommendations, outlining optimal approaches for marketing initiatives. A comprehensive analysis of their discoveries and the industry’s reaction will be submitted to GambleAware in the autumn. The ASA has emphasized its vigilant monitoring of betting advertisements across all channels and its readiness to take action against unethical operators, even employing technological tools to detect deceptive material. Safeguarding susceptible individuals from potential harm remains their paramount objective.
