No, you are not fine…
The original DCMS is linked to below. And contains this paragraph:
“The ban will apply to all forms of gambling advertising from excluded jurisdictions including TV, radio, newspapers, magazines, taxis, buses, the tube and some websites. If operators, publishers, broadcasters and advertising companies break the rules, they could face fines or even imprisonment.
“Some websites?” Don’t know what thet means…My editor has tried to contact the press office to get confirmation but they said wait until today’s Parliament session.
Big sites based in NV are: Jackpotjoy, Intercasino, Betfred and Littlewoods Casino. I think we can assume that these guys will move soon seeming as NV has had a ‘NO’ from the DCMS.

I can’t see how they can ban advertising online in the UK while avoiding the anti-censorship laws.
The internet is an international entity so im pretty sure no solely online published will be brought to question for having an intercasino banner on their site.
