TV adverts for an online casino which showed thrill-seeking characters leaping to their deaths broke advertising rules, the regulator said today.
Two adverts for ladbrokescasino.com "portrayed gambling in a context of toughness, and linked it to excessive risk taking and reckless behaviour", according to the Advertising Standards Authority.

Ladbrokes accused the regulator of "ruling against using humour".
