I recently got an iPhone again having been on android for a couple of years. PH keeps dirrctingf me to the ladbrooks app in the App Store. I'm using chrome and running iOS8.3. Don't see any ladbrooks ads on the site it just randomly takes me there.

These are from ads that get served to the site - I will speak to the team in charge and get some feedback on why this is happening and if we can stop it.

Further info on this....

We use programmatic advertising across the site (this means that advertisers bid for the placement of ads and then get served). We put a ban list on companies that don't follow our rules, such as this pop up style ads.

What is happening is that every month the company responsible stops trading under one name, and swaps to another - this therefore means they get back round the ban list till we can find which name they have chosen to add them back on a ban list. We are working to improve this process to stop this happening more, but at the moment it is a bit manual.

Thanks Pete,
Since yesterday I've had the same whilst using the Beta 2 skin, and have had the same for the William Hill app.
