KSA finds Circus Gran Casino breached Dutch advertising role-model ban
The Netherlands’ KSA found Circus Gran Casino breached the role-model advertising ban by featuring professional ice hockey players in a Maastricht arcade promotion. Circus Gran Casino said the rules were unclear about which forms of gambling they covered; the regulator said the ban applies to gaming arcades offering risky games of chance. The operator removed the material after discussions with the KSA.
The finding clarifies that the role-model advertising ban applies to gaming arcades as well as other gambling operators.
