Every live game I try to play on chess.com now I get EXTREMELY LOUD ADVERTISEMENTS THAT CAN'T BE MUTED!!  Completely ruins the experience and I am forced to mute the entire browser. Please fix this! Most of the time the banner ads are for Leo Vegas online casino or other gambling sites. Not a very healthy choice to sell ad space to those gambling categories either.

The site uses a third party ad provider and doesn't directly approve ads that get displayed.

Although the situation has improved, I fail to see any issue with it, as many chess players have a penchant for risk-taking. It is highly likely that they would be intrigued by the idea of exploring online casinos or other forms of gambling. I recently came across AussieBestCasinos on a similar gaming forum, and I was impressed by its comprehensive compilation of the best Australian online casinos in 2023. This resource caters to players of varied skill levels, experiences, and preferences, making it valuable. 
However, I do acknowledge that certain audio ads, such as those for online casino, have been intrusive during my live games on Chess. These ads cannot be muted, thereby diminishing the overall experience. It would be appreciated if this issue could be resolved promptly.
