BetBlocker Launches Gambling Harm Support in North America
BetBlocker, the charity that promotes a gambling harm reduction app, has announced the launch of a dedicated US division having achieved a 501(c) non-profit status in the state of Delaware. The organization plans to expand across North America.
LISTEN TO THIS ARTICLE:The BetBlocker app allows users to utilize software that will block gambling sites and gives players the chance to manage their gambling activities responsibly. BetBlocker was introduced in the United Kingdom (UK) and has grown to have a significant presence in many jurisdictions across the European region.
This announcement comes shortly after the announcement from the Colorado Lottery that they have chosen BetBlocker as part of their responsible gambling initiative. The app will be integrated with the Know Your Limits section of the lottery website.

BetBlocker Promotes Free Support For Gamblers
BetBlocker boasts one of the primary advantages of its app is that it offers free help and support for problem gamblers, and this means there is no barrier to entry for any individual who is at risk from gambling-related harm.
Additionally, users in the US can access the BetBlocker app initially in English and Spanish languages, and there is development to make the Chinese language available on the app in the near future. Globally the app is available in up to 17 languages including the addition of Maltese last year.
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 US 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. It is my strong belief that pay walls between users and support for gambling harm create a barrier that ensures that the most vulnerable, and the least able to pay, are the least able to access support. Free support is essential, and I’m confident that in the coming years we will be there for hundreds of thousands of people across the North American continent, that would otherwise struggle to manage their gambling.
