The world’s largest online poker room has been busted by the Advertising Standards Authority out of Great Britain. PokerStars.com has been criticized by the advertising watchdog for implying that gambling could make a person more confident and courageous, according to the Guardian newspaper.
A PokerStars.com poster campaign ran with the headline “play mind games” and featured world poker champion Daniel Negreanu holding an ice hockey stick with the line “Poker is a sport of courage, conviction and confidence”.
Under the advertising code, ads are not allowed to link gambling with sexual success, an improved self-image or appeal to children or young people.
In the past a number of online gambling firms have been cited by the ATS for failing to comply with its strict advertising standards. I agree that all gambling companies should adhere to tight advertising laws so as not to further incidents of addiction.
