UK watchdog orders Coral, Titanbet, bgo ads banned

Gambling operator Coral has been hit—again—with advertising bans from the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA).

Aside from Coral, Titanbet and Bgo Entertainment also found themselves on the receiving end of the UK advertisement watchdog’s scolding after customers complained about their promotions that run over the summer.

The dispute related to Coral stemmed from a newspaper ad that the gambling operator ran in June, which read: “England to beat Russia was 10/11 now 50/1. Winning paid in cash.”

It was followed with a smaller print at the bottom of the ad, stating, “New customer offer… If your selection wins, you will be paid in cash based on the normal price on site and will have your account topped up to reflect the enhanced price in free bets. If your bet loses, a £5 free bet will be credited to your account within 24 hours of settlement. Free bet stake not returned.”
