Online Casino Advertising Effective
More and more internet gambling companies are embracing the UK advertising
regulations that allow companies to advertise gambling acitivities in more
places and mediums than ever previously legal in the UK (prior to the 2005 UK
Gaming Act). Ladbrokes was one of the first of the land and online casinos
gambling companies to run a full advertising campaign using television – and
after the success of the company’s 2007 campaign, Ladbrokes has announced a
similar campaign in the coming months. Online casinos gambling has grown
exponentially in the last several years all over the world, and the new
advertising campaign is expected to really positively affect the companies
sports betting and brand awareness during and after the campaign.
Ladbrokes is one of the top names in the land and online casinos gambling
industry – the company has a highly respected and established brand in the
market, certainly giving the company credibility over the many companies and
sites that opened in the past year alone. According to Ladbrokes, the planned
television campaign will cost approximately GBP 2 million for the bingo gambling
adverts alone. Then take into consideration that the company also plans to
advertise on television for the company’s online casinos gambling games and
services.
The two advertising campaigns will roll out in the coming months – first the
internet bingo campaign and then next month for the online casinos campaign. The
CEO at Ladbrokes, Chris Bell, notes, "The removal of restrictions on TV
advertising enables us to compete more effectively with other leisure industries
and we were keen to be the first to take advantage of it. Tomorrow we run
another campaign for Ladbrokesbingo.com and in April launch our first campaign
for ladbrokescasino.com."
Ladbrokes anticipates greatly increasing the company’s brand recognition
throughout the television campaign while driving more bettors to Ladbrokes over
the other choices for online betting, casinos, and bingo. |
