I have taped the whole commercial and have send a formal complaint to the Dutch legal commercial code commission. I am now taking this higher up to the right legal authorities.
First of all, all our games require that you will need to be at least 18 years old or older as stated in the Terms & Conditions, so no children should play the game.
All the ads in all King games come from a third party ad provider and not from us at King. The ads you get can be both based on the algorithms from your device, but also other randomly picked ads that are available for all players globally or in your country/ region.
Even though all ads are provided from a third party provider like AdChoices or AdTracker the ads go through a filter at King where inappropriate ads with violence, drugs or sexual content are blocked.
I will pass this on to our Marketing and if the ad is inappropriate according to their guidelines it will then be blocked.
I have looked into the game guidelines
about publicity and ads. Within your own rules is stated that you have
cookies to prevent double or measuring the amount of showing of an Ad. If
you are saying that it is a Third Party doing this, than the third
party does not comply to your own rules as it is showing this ad
in-continuum.
Within your policy about inappropriate ads with
violence, drugs, or sexual content you should have a 4th trigger -
Medical issues. Diabetes belongs in a doctors office and be treated
under stricked control by a medically trained person. In Holland not
even a regular nurse is allowed to handle this - only a specially
trained in diabetes nurse. Besides that - if you look at the images
with the syringe it does look like using so you could block it for drugs
use. As insulin is a drug and insulin overdose is lethal. Several mass
murderers used insulin to kill. But that is all besides my point. It is to my knowledge illegal to have a medical ad this way - what doctors don't tell you. Period! As
is the law. (I contacted the right authorities by phone today and they
asked me to formally file a complaint so they can take legal matters
into their hands)
The third party ad provider should know that.
But even if King Marketing does not feel the urge to block it.. or feels
the need to correct the third party. Legal maters are now out of my
control and yours as it is send to the right legal authorities for any
publicity/ads/commercials.
This commercial is bothering me veryveryVERY MUCH. I have said so in the Soda part of the community and had a
private message conversation with Lola_Pop. King has commercial interest above anything else as it seems. So be it/I rest my case.

@JetKuil-Snaterse I have passed this on to our Marketing/ Legal team and if the ad is inappropriate according to their guidelines it will then be removed.
