Have gambling adverts been banned?

Footballers, celebrities and social media influencers will be banned from gambling adverts under new rules. From October, gambling companies will not be allowed to use stars to target under-18s, The Committee for Advertising Practice said.5 Apr 2022 

New rules on gambling adverts ban celebrities and sports stars - bbc

Yet gambling adverts are allowed on social media. So not having some no-one or semi famous face on the paid for advert makes it ok ?

Gambling adverts everywhere now, don’t see the need for so many, suppose it’s tax deductible so cost bookies nothing. Can get a bit much though , can’t say it makes me bet more, l gamble if l want to
