The commercial, aired in March 2017, featured a smartly attired blackjack player pondering his subsequent action at a table as a voiceover declared: &#8220;His pulse quickens. His physique remains motionless. Calculating. Everything is at stake. Feeling versus intellect. Intuition versus rationality. He reaches a verdict. He controls his fate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The ASA questioned whether the advertisement suggested gambling relied on ability rather than chance with the phrase &#8220;he controls his fate,&#8221; deeming it irresponsible, and whether the advertisement presented gambling in a &#8220;harsh setting.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>Despite 21.co.uk&#8217;s assertion that blackjack is a strategic card game and &#8220;controlling your fate&#8221; is a prevalent expression signifying the beneficial impact of practice on a player&#8217;s likelihood of triumph, the ASA still deemed the advertisement irresponsible. <\/p>\n<p>While recognizing that the man did not exhibit &#8220;obvious physical attributes of resilience,&#8221; the ASA upheld the second objection because &#8220;viewers would perceive him as displaying mental fortitude or tenacity within the context of wagering on a single hand.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>The Advertising Standards Authority didn&#8217;t have an issue with the advertisement&#8217;s depiction of a man with dilated eyes, despite complaints from some individuals who felt it portrayed gambling as overly exhilarating. The ASA concluded that the man appeared composed and self-assured.  However, they did instruct 21.co.uk to remove the advertisement due to its excessive focus on employing strategy in gambling, deeming it misleading. The company received a caution to exercise greater prudence in their future advertising endeavors. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The United Kingdom&#8217;s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) prohibited a commercial for the internet gaming platform 21.co.uk due to its excessive focus on expertise in a blackjack game depicted within a brief 30-second advertisement.
