Kansspelautoriteit (KSA), the Netherlands Gambling Authority, has issued a warning to online gambling licensees to ensure their advertising campaigns and marketing comply with targeted rules.
The warning follows a TV advertisement that KSA flagged for featuring the logo of an unnamed licensee, promoted by a partner.
KSA detailed that the infringing advert showed “a commercial for a television channel featuring a football player in a T-shirt with the name of an online gambling provider on it.”
Although the advert did not directly promote an online gambling brand, it was displayed by a third party under a sponsorship agreement with the licensee.
