Midnite is an online gambling site that is always trying to push the boat with its marketing, but things have gone a bit too far recently. The UK\u2019s Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) has flagged several social media posts by the operator after receiving a complaint from University of Bristol researchers who claim the ads strongly appeal to children.<\/p>\n

One of the posts on X was Harry Maguire\u2019s face pasted onto the body of a Brazilian soccer star to reflect the skill level he showed when assisting one of the goals during Manchester United\u2019s Europa League semifinal tie against Athletic Bilbao.<\/p>\n
