News from the excellent and informative ATE Online site informs us that one of the six gambling advertisements that have recently been found to violate the UK’s TV advertising code is a bingo outfit.

The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has not named the six advertisers so I can’t give any names, but what I think we can all assume is that this particular bingo violator is not a major online bingo operator or online bingo hall.

What the six gambling advertisers are supposed to have done is create ads that may have appeal to children. The naughty bingo advertiser supposedly suggested that gambling may lead to improved self image or self esteem and achieve financial security.

My own view: It is a fact that winning, for example the £10,000 guaranteed jackpot at Wink Bingo, would definitely improve my own self esteem and financial security.

I would be interested to see what this particular bingo TV advertisement really did suggest regards gambling, but for the time being I’ll take my gambling cue from Bingo Street as to what’s happening in the online bingo games scene.
