Adverts Featuring Top Footballers Banned from Instagram Betting Ads

An independent advertising watchdog has ruled that Instagram can no longer display betting ads featuring prominent football players, including stars like Harry Kane and Erling Haaland, due to concerns over their impact on minors. The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) found the ads in question had a significant appeal to under-18s, sparking fears they could be encouraging young people to engage in betting activities that may not be suitable for their age group.
