If you are advertising in Northern Ireland, know the rules! Northern Ireland regulation states that for consumers to get any kind of prize or cash winnings in gaming, it must be completely free to enter – meaning ‘no deposits required’
Don’t show anti-social behaviour or a behaviour that could lead to financial, social or emotional harm. This includes showing online gaming to solve financial or personal problems
With gambling TV ads there is usually a lot of legal text (supers) required, meaning you should avoid too much on screen text to make sure your ad passes Clearcast’s legal timings
It is important that online gaming activities are not seen in a working environment, as this appears to condone excessive or uncontrollable habits
Make sure that anyone who is featured in the ad is over the age of 25 and looks over this age too! We would aim for actors to look at least over 30 years old to pass compliance
