A gambling advertisement starring Gary Neville has been banned by the regulator.

An advertisement for gambling that showcased ex-Manchester United and England defender Gary Neville has been prohibited by the governing body. The message shared by Sky Bet was determined to possess a powerful allure for individuals under the age of 18, as stated by the ASA. The authority contended that this contravened regulations concerning gambling advertisements. The promoted message, shared on February 9, included a video segment from The Overlap football podcast, where Neville engaged in a discussion regarding which team might emerge victorious in the Premier League. The Sky Bet emblem made sporadic appearances throughout the video, and the concluding text read: "Presented to you by Sky Bet."
