Instagram Prohibits Betting Ads Featuring Football Stars Kane and Haaland

26 Mayıs 2026BBC News

The advertising watchdog has banned Instagram ads featuring prominent footballers Harry Kane and Erling Haaland due to their strong appeal to under-18 audiences. This decision highlights the ongoing concerns regarding the promotion of gambling to younger demographics.
The ruling reflects a growing awareness of the potential risks associated with gambling advertisements targeting impressionable age groups.
The rise of social media has transformed how brands engage with consumers, particularly younger ones. With sports figures wielding significant influence, regulators are now more vigilant about the implications of such advertising strategies.
This ban on Instagram betting ads featuring high-profile athletes underscores the increasing scrutiny of gambling promotions in social media spaces. As sports celebrities often serve as role models, their association with betting can inadvertently normalize gambling among youth.
