A magazine advertisement by PartyGaming has landed the company in hot water with the UK's Advertising Standards Authority.
According to the ASA's website, "A magazine ad for a gaming website stated 'WARNING! BE CAREFUL WHERE YOU WIN PLAYERS WIN MORE AT PARTYPOKER.' Text in the body copy stated 'Play for a $2m guaranteed prize pool ... find out why more people love to win at PartyPoker.com*.' The asterisk was linked to small print that stated 'Poker Players Research Ltd Opinion Poll, May 08, Sample size 10,000.'"
