Annette_15 Advert Banned

An ad sent out in emails by Betfair.com showing
a photo of a young looking Annette Oberstadt
with the caption “Online experience is measured
in games, not years. Join the new breed. Annette_15″.

The U.K.'s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA)
has upheld a complaint made about the advertisement,
saying it “was likely to have particular appeal to
children and young people, and that, by representing
a successful young poker player with the implication
she was 15 years old, it could encourage young people
to gamble and was therefore irresponsible”.
