The UK Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has reported that gambling advertising visibility for under-18s is now at the lowest point since 2008.

The report entitled “Children’s exposure to age-restricted TV ads: 2019 update” found that the number of TV ads seen in 2019 by children aged 4–15 dropped to 115.9 ads per week, falling significantly from the peak of 229.3 ads per week in 2013.

Similar to general exposure, gambling advertising subjection also dropped significantly. Children were on average exposed to 4.4 gambling ads per week at its peak in 2013. That fell to 2.5 per week in 2019, the lowest since 2008 at 2.2.

“Our latest report shows that children’s exposure to TV ads for alcohol and gambling products remains low. We will continue our proactive monitoring to make sure this remains the case for TV ads as well as carrying out further monitoring online so that we limit children’s exposure to age-restricted ads wherever they appear,” Guy Parker, CEO of ASA, said.
