The UK ASA banned a Casumo display advert after ruling that its Spinumo promotion encouraged repeated deposits and wagers. The campaign required up to five daily missions, each involving a £50 deposit and £200 stake, while Recro said customers could stop after one task and the promotion was voluntary.
The ruling prevents Casumo from running the promotion in its current UK advertising form.
