The UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has found that ads of four gambling operators have appeared in child-friendly sites during the second quarter of 2020.

A total of 70 ads from the quartet of unnamed operators appeared on eight websites were discovered in the advertising watchdog’s latest online monitoring sweep, used to identify and tackle age-restricted promotions appearing in children’s media.

This forms part of a year-long project in which ASA was monitoring ads served on a sample of more than 50 websites and YouTube channels with particularly large underage audiences. Once ads are identified, the ASA has contacted the advertisers to ensure the promotions are renewed and warned them to ensure a similar breach of regulations is avoided in the future.

“The ASA is using technology to proactively monitor online ads to help build a culture of zero tolerance for age-restricted ads appearing on websites aimed at children. We expect advertisers and the parties they contract with to use the sophisticated tools available to them to target their ads responsibly,” Guy Parker, chief executive of ASA, said.

“This is just one part of a wider set of initiatives we’re undertaking to ensure children are protected online and we’ll report on our further work in this area in the coming months,” Guy Parker added.

Amusnet has unveiled a great seasonal addition to its Online Casino portfolio, Coin Gobbler – Christmas Edition. It features one of the company’s most likeable characters and a new theme that brings joy and a Christmasy mood.

Once again, the distinguished gentleman Oscar and his favourite pet – the golden piggy – are here. This time, they are set within a fun and colourful Christmas theme to put everyone in the right mood for the upcoming winter holiday season while guiding players through the game and helping them gather the precious Bonus coins. Again, the game features a cluster pay method and a 6×6 layout complemented by high-quality graphics and cheerful sound effects.

Apart from the fruity symbols and the combinations they form on the reels, players should also watch for the Golden Coin, which is the Free Spins symbol, and will help them boost their winnings. All Golden Coins are collected in their piggy bank, and the more coins players collect, the higher level they reach and the more Free Spins they get. The most impatient players can also use the Buy Bonus feature to try out the Free Spins as quickly as possible without collecting the necessary number of coins.

Cluster

A unique type of online slot game that eliminates traditional paylines and features cluster pay mechanics, where a minimum number of matching symbols must appear adjacent to each other horizontally or vertically to form a cluster and secure a win.

Progressive Free Spins

The Free Spins have a round progression feature. Besides the slot screen is a Progression bar with five levels – 2×2, 3×3, 4×4, 5×5 and 6×6. Each level indicates the size of the Wild symbol once reached. All Bonus Coin symbols landing anywhere on the reels are collected until the end of the round, with a new level reached for every 4 Bonus Coin symbols collected.

Buy Bonus

When the “Buy Bonus” button is activated, the player is enabled to buy Free Spins.

Marcus Boyle has announced his decision to step down as Chair of the Gambling Commission, with his term set to conclude on 31 January 2025.

Over the past three years, he has led the Commission through a period of change in the industry and regulatory landscape.

During his tenure, the Commission reached several key milestones, including the awarding and launch of the fourth National Lottery licence, which has driven funds raised for good causes to exceed £50 billion. He has also overseen the ongoing implementation of the Gambling Act Review and White Paper aimed at reducing gambling harm, as well as the recruitment of a whole new Board of Commissioners.

In April 2024, the Commission published a comprehensive three-year strategy outlining planned advancements through 2027, focusing on transparency and data use. With the strategy now in motion, Marcus leaves the Commission in a strong position and with a clearly defined path forward.

The Board of Commissioners and colleagues at the Gambling Commission have expressed their gratitude for Marcus’s leadership, dedication, and contributions over the past three years, wishing him well for the future.

The Minister for Gambling, Baroness Twycross, said: “The past three years have been very significant for the Commission, as it takes forward measures set out in the Gambling Act Review and the start of the fourth National Lottery licence.

“I am grateful for Marcus’s hard work and commitment to the Gambling Commission and public service over his tenure and wish him the best for his future endeavours.”
