It also said Hamilton had appeared in the F1 24 video game &#8211; which had an age rating of three years old and above &#8211; and was a storyteller on a programme aired by the BBC&#8217;s CBeebies last year.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">&#8220;As such, we considered that Kwiff would have been aware of the possibility that Sir Lewis Hamilton would have strong appeal to under-18s,&#8221; it added.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<figure>\n<div class=\"sc-3b6b161a-0 jHorPx\" data-component=\"image-block\">\n<div class=\"sc-5340b511-1 ilsLtA\" data-testid=\"image\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"sc-5340b511-0 bGQwLJ\" src=\"https:\/\/ichef.bbci.co.uk\/news\/480\/cpsprodpb\/081b\/live\/31fba200-aedf-11f0-803a-abe5b497a030.jpg.webp\" alt=\"Getty Images The big screen at the Boleyn Ground stadium in east London with a message welcoming the new sponsor Betway during a match between West Ham United at home and Manchester United\" \/><span class=\"sc-5340b511-2 lha-dta\">Getty Images<\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sc-3b6b161a-0 etSgSK\" data-component=\"caption-block\">\n<div class=\"sc-3b6b161a-0 etSgSK\" data-component=\"caption-block\"><\/div>\n<\/div><figcaption class=\"sc-536eff7b-0 jFVvLh\">Betway is a sponsor of sports teams, including West Ham United in previous seasons<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<div class=\"sc-3b6b161a-0 jdlrvG\" data-component=\"text-block\">\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">Separately,\u00a0<a class=\"sc-f9178328-0 jZoZnB\" href=\"https:\/\/www.asa.org.uk\/rulings\/betway-ltd-a25-1292429-betway-ltd.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">ASA also ruled that<\/a>\u00a0Betway&#8217;s advertisement breached its code.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">YouTube, according to ASA, was an unsuitable platform for the advert, as advertisers could not guarantee that their content would exclude under-18 viewers.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">&#8220;It was likely that there was at least a significant number of children who had not used their real date of birth when signing up to YouTube,&#8221; ASA said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">Betway told ASA it had the contractual right to use Chelsea&#8217;s logo in its role as the club&#8217;s official European betting partner.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">Betway said that YouTube&#8217;s own ad policies offered further safeguards against under-18s being exposed to age-restricted content, according to ASA&#8217;s statement.<\/p>\n<p class=\"sc-9a00e533-0 bJoRPJ\">Banning the advert could set a &#8220;damaging precedent for gambling sponsorships in sport&#8221;, Betway told the report.<\/p>\n<p><strong>By BBC<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>OCT 22 &#8211; Gambling advertisements featuring Formula 1 racing driver Lewis Hamilton and the Chelsea football club logo have been banned in the UK over concerns that they would influence children.
