Footballers and celebrities will no longer be allowed to appear on gambling and betting adverts under new rules introduced by the UK's advertising regulator.

The new rules also include a ban on showing teams' kits and stadiums in adverts and in video game content. The new rules state that sportspeople, celebrities and social media influencers who are"likely to be of strong appeal to children or young persons, especially by reflecting or being associated with youth culture" will be banned from gambling and lottery adverts.CAP said this includes footballers with a large under-18 following on social media.
