While the iGaming industry continues to expand in the United States, it brings many challenges, including responsible gambling. More players than ever before now have access to online betting platforms, so the need for effective self-exclusion tools has risen. This need has seen BetBlocker, a UK-registered gambling support charity, expanding its operations and launching BetBlocker US Inc.
BetBlocker has launched a US-based non-profit organization registered in Delaware. A partnership with the Colorado Lottery aids this American expansion.
BetBlocker offers free software that allows people to restrict access to gambling websites and apps. It operates entirely anonymously, and there is no need to provide any personal information, as many other self-exclusion tools require from individuals. Exclusion periods ranging from 24 hours to five years can be set without requiring any external intervention from operators.
This initiative aims to provide Americans with a free app designed to help them manage their gambling activities responsibly. Users can control their gambling without any financial barriers. The app is already available in English and Spanish, with Chinese currently in development. Additionally, BetBlocker extends to 17 other languages, which makes it widely accessible to everyone.
Users can restrict themselves from over 88,000 gambling websites and 1,500 gambling apps. Duncan Garvie, Founder and Trustee of BetBlocker, said:
BetBlocker’s pioneering free support has been minimizing harm for tens of thousands of people all over the world for close to a decade now. By establishing the U.S. arm of the charity, it is our hope that we can raise the profile of the service in North America and support tens of thousands more people in the coming years.
Industry leaders have recognized the benefits of this expansion, which provides gamblers with effective and free, responsible gambling tools. BetBlocker aims to engage with operators and regulators to promote responsible gambling measures more effectively.
BetBlocker can confirm its registration as a 501(c) non-profit organization in Delaware. The Colorado Lottery has included BetBlocker as a resource for the ‘Know Your Limits’ initiative by providing a direct link to the app on its website.
BetBlockers expansion in the US is an opportunity for operators to strengthen their responsible gambling initiatives. By integrating the self-exclusion tool into their websites, operators can show they are proactive in their approach to responsible gambling and the safety of their customers.
The expansion marks a significant step forward in enhancing player protection in the US igaming industry. By providing this free responsible gambling tool, Betblocker has positioned itself as a key resource for players and operators aiming to incorporate a safer gambling environment.
