flag UK bans Lewis Hamilton and Betway ads for appealing to children despite age warnings.

flag A UK ad featuring Formula 1 driver Lewis Hamilton promoting a gambling site was banned by the Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) for potentially appealing to children, despite an 18+ symbol and BeGambleAware.org logo. flag The ASA cited Hamilton’s 150,000 under-18 Instagram followers and widespread fame as evidence of strong appeal to minors. flag A separate Betway ad using Chelsea FC logos on fans’ clothing in a stadium scene was also banned for similar reasons, as the ASA deemed the branding too prominent and likely to attract young viewers. flag Both companies were told to ensure future ads do not target under-18s.
