Is it all happening? Does it happen all the time?

Technology, there's always a "back door".

Nah, I'm not getting served the same ads this morning. Last couple of times it happened it was high-street betting agents. William Hill and another one I can't remember the name of. I'll keep an eye out and let you know.

It only seems to be doing it on Safari (iPhone/iPad etc) and not any "none-Apple" browsers, which is also a bit odd, almost like some of the Ad's are targeting Safari users.

Just happened to me again. Ladbrookes this time.

Seems to happen the first time I connect after a few hours.

Gala bingo this time. It looks like the offending ad with the redirect tags was the stupid clash of titans game ad or whatever it's called.
