The advertisement, launched on October 4th, 2023, showcases Rock in various scenarios \u2013 for instance, rotating a globe \u2013 accompanied by the slogan &#8220;We&#8217;re BetMGM, and we understand entertainment.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Certain individuals expressed disapproval, apprehensive that Rock&#8217;s presence might be excessively appealing to minors, a violation of advertising regulations. <\/p>\n<p>BetMGM promptly defended their selection of Rock as their spokesperson. They contended that his career, primarily focused on stand-up comedy and roles in mature-rated films, would not particularly resonate with individuals under 18. <\/p>\n<p>They did acknowledge his voice acting in family-oriented productions like &#8220;Madagascar&#8221; but dismissed it as outdated and inconsequential.  <\/p>\n<p>To bolster their argument, they highlighted that Rock&#8217;s social media audience consists predominantly of adults, with a negligible number of minors. <\/p>\n<p>Lastly, they emphasized the advertisement&#8217;s overall atmosphere \u2013 the adult contexts, the Las Vegas allusions \u2013 as further evidence that it would not attract underage viewers. <\/p>\n<p>The UKs advertising watchdog, the ASA, investigated this particular advertisement following complaints.  They determined that the advertisement did not violate any regulations and chose not to pursue further action. <\/p>\n<p>Essentially, the ASA recognized that while the company featured in the ad might be somewhat recognizable to children, this recognition wouldn&#8217;t necessarily translate into an inclination towards gambling.  Furthermore, the company&#8217;s targeting of a younger demographic had not occurred recently. <\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, the advertisement received approval. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Kingdom&#8217;s advertising regulatory body, the ASA, recently addressed concerns regarding a BetMGM commercial featuring comedian Chris Rock.
