reported the firm to the ASA after Chelsea\u2019s badge could be seen in one of its YouTube adverts.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.asa.org.uk\/rulings\/betway-ltd-a25-1292429-betway-ltd.html\">The ASA ruling on Betway<\/a> noted that the pre-roll ad \u201cseen on 17 May 2025, featured football fans wearing clothing and scarves with the Chelsea FC logo\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>The UK-licensed betting firm argued that as the London club\u2019s Official European Betting Partner it had a contractual right to use the logo for an advert that was targeted at over-25s.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\"

under-18s.<\/p>\n<p>That is a problem beyond Betway\u2019s control.<\/p>\n<p>The firm countered, saying banning the advert could set a &#8220;damaging precedent for gambling sponsorships in
