Channel Ten has been issued a warning after viewers complained it aired betting ads during the broadcast of a Socceroos friendly with England and women’s A-League match on its streaming platform 10 Play in October last year. Photograph: Ryan Pierse/Getty Images

The Ten Network breached the ban on gambling advertising during live sport, subjecting viewers to 17 different wagering commercials during a Socceroos friendly and an A-League women’s match, the regulator says.

The Australian Communications and Media Authority (Acma) issued Ten’s streaming service 10 Play with a warning, as it is the network’s first breach, but it will face penalties if it happens again.
