Horse Racing Advert

Has it just started randomly popping up full screen for others when scrolling? The one on TV is annoying enough but why is mumsnet allowing an advert for a sport that is promoting cruelty towards animals? And the random full screen advert is incredibly annoying.

Hi OP

We're just trying to locate this - can you let us know who the advertisement was for? Once we have that, we should be able to find it and take a closer look.

@LilyMumsnet it's Great British Racing. Just popped up again.

I was just coming to see if anyone else is getting this too. It came up 5 times on one thread, blocking out the whole page. Kept coming back even after clicking off it

And it’s here again right now on this thread

Tbh I’m using MN far less these days because of the intrusive adverts, many of which are wildly inappropriate eg the gambling ones. No, I don’t want to gamble, thanks, MNHQ.

Thanks for all the info shared here. That should help us track it down.

HebeMumsnet · 26/09/2025 09:09

This ad should be blocked now. If anyone sees it popping up again please let us know.

Ifailed · 26/09/2025 09:31

What about the bet365 adverts?

Yes, these are now everywhere. Sigh.

Again, it’s still coming up. Even on the thread list too now, not just on actual threads

And the ‘Bet365’ gambling advert is immediately below your post, as of now.

Spanador · 30/09/2025 19:02

And yet again it’s still happening

@HebeMumsnet is anyone going to bother to respond? It’s still happening, as well as other gambling ads that people have pointed out on this thread

AutumnyCrow · 30/09/2025 21:36

The Bet365 gambling ad is now down at the bottom of this page.

HebeMumsnet · 01/10/2025 10:07

Thanks for letting us know, everyone. We'll try and track these down now.

HebeMumsnet · 01/10/2025 10:22

The Bet365 ads should be gone now. We're still working on the Great British Racing ones. If anyone is able to click on one of those and send us the URL that would be really helpful. Thanks.
