Is Sports Betting.com’s Latest Ad Too Salacious?
One of the online gambling ads drawing tons of attention these days is a new Sportsbetting.com banner that features a man in bed with a woman in the foreground wearing only some slinky lingerie with her legs spread wide and a caption that reads "Tired Of Just Watching?....Want To Do It For Real?....Win Your Way To Riches...110 Percent in Signup Bonuses".
At the risk of sounding too puritanical, the question is should such a suggestive advertisement appear on the pages of a website with Gambling911.com's deeply embedded moral fabric?
"While suggestive in nature and shocking to young eyes, such a banner is borderline acceptable by Gambling911.com's strict virtuous standards," remarked Payton O'Brien, Senior Editor and policy enforcer of the Gambling911.com website.
The advertisement debuted this week in conjunction with Sportsbetting.com's new 110 percent cash bonus promo offer (half naked girl not included, we might add).
O'Brien admits the ad in question probably would not be permitted by the British Ad Standards Board put in place to monitor marketing techniques. The ad, however, is not targeting the British market.
Gambling911.com is a family website with strong family values which often much make complex ethical choices while promoting consistency in these choices.
