The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has demanded “immediate action” after links to gambling sites were found on the junior sections of websites belonging to 15 football clubs, including those from the English Premier League and Scottish Premiership. The English Football League has apologised and the Scottish Professional Football League said it is aware of its "social responsibilities". Some clubs have since removed the ads, which were found by a BBC investigation. Those aged Saturday cannot be targeted by online gambling adverts, according to ASA rules.
