The Spanish player shot to fame during the previous UEFA European Football Championship. \u00a0He was named Young Player of the Tournament, lighting up the competition as his team were crowned champions in Berlin, Germany. He was also the youngest player in Euros history at only 16 years and 338 days old upon his debut.<\/div>\n<p>The KSA confirmed that it had only decided to warn BetMGM this time, claiming the operator acted quickly to remove the ad. The regulator did however note that BetMGM should have reported on itself when it noticed the violation. \u201cLicensees are required to inform the KSA of errors on their part that could pose a danger to consumers,\u201d the KSA said.<\/p>\n<p>The post <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vegasslotsonline.com\/news\/2025\/06\/03\/betmgm-reprimanded-over-advert-featuring-barcelonas-lamine-yamal\/\">BetMGM Reprimanded Over Advert Featuring Barcelona\u2019s Lamine Yamal<\/a> appeared first on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.vegasslotsonline.com\/news\">Vegas Slots Online News<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The post BetMGM Reprimanded Over Advert Featuring Barcelona\u2019s Lamine Yamal appeared first on Vegas Slots Online News.
