The British Advertising Standards Authority has recently banned Annette Obrestad’s newest Betfair ad.  The ASA is claiming that the ad promotes underage gambling.  The British law states that no person under the age of 25 can appear on any gambling ad.  That means bad news for the 20 year old Obrestad.

According to ASA, “By representing a successful young poker player with the implication she was 15 years old, (the ad) could encourage young people to gamble and was therefore irresponsible.”
