UK government Clampdown on internet casino ads
Published November 13th, 2005
Internet casino firms are facing a UK government clampdown over concerns some are breaking strict advertising laws.
Culture Secretary Tessa Jowell plans to stop gambling firms from advertising free entry to online tournaments or indicating the value of prizes.
Current laws allow internet casinos to promote their brands but forbid them from offering inducements to gamble.
Ms Jowell said adverts in newspapers, on London Underground platforms and on taxis had flouted these regulations.
