Well This Sucks.
 

After my many posts about advertising "non adult" on adult sites, I at last saw Juicy Ads were selling a spot on this board to a non-adult company. Was going to post and say "look --- SEE". Then I realised I was being Geo targeted (ad quoted price in £UK and also was for a product it is illegal to sell to Americans). So I guess none of you saw it. :(

Technically, you have to be an adult to gamble......

Not in Britain.

I've just come back from being on holiday during the school half term holiday. Spent some of my holiday in slots palaces, feeding my hard earned coins into the various gambolling machines. Going during the school holidays meant the places were full of kids feeding their pocket money into the slots.

Nowadays most of the coin pushers (not sure if that is the correct term - I mean those machines where coins drop on a sort of table and a moving platform pushes coins of the edge) have small toys added to them to encourage kids to gambol on the machines.

Actually ignore what I just said about gambolling being not only for adults. If you think advertising gambolling on adult sites is OK because gambolling is an "adults only" thing and non-porn adult things can be advertised on porn sites, then read my new sig - READ MY NEW SIG!

Amused at a news article I saw today:

Everything I said in my second post is true. Children are allowed to gambol in "coin palaces" in England, and are encouraged in most by the addition of small toys as extra prizes, on top of the money. However I read in the paper that a bookie (off track betting organisation) was recently prosecuted because an advert of their's for gambolling on football included a photo of a 23 year old professional footballer, and you are not allowed to show people under 24 in gambolling adverts in case it encourages children to gambol! |huh
