ROGA Partners with BetBlocker to Promote Gambling Blocking Software in the US
The Responsible Online Gaming Association (ROGA) has joined forces with BetBlocker, a tool dedicated to protecting consumers from gambling-related harm, to promote free gambling blocking software in the United States. This partnership aims to expand player protection in the U.S. by providing tools to help individuals control or block their gambling activity online [1][2][4][5].
Key details of the partnership include:
- Provision of Free Blocking Software: BetBlocker offers a free software tool that allows users to self-exclude from gambling websites and apps. This helps prevent access to gambling platforms and supports responsible gambling behavior [1][2].
- Focus on U.S. Market Expansion: While BetBlocker has been active in other countries, the collaboration with ROGA specifically targets the U.S. gambling market, aiming to increase awareness and adoption of the software among American consumers [2][5].
- Consumer Protection Aim: The partnership underscores a commitment to protect consumers from gambling-related harm by making responsible gambling tools accessible and promoting safer gambling practices across regulated and unregulated sectors in the U.S [1][4].
- Industry Collaboration: ROGA, known for advancing responsible gaming policies, leverages its network to promote BetBlockerβs software broadly among U.S. operators, regulators, and players, encouraging industry-wide adoption of player protection tools [4][5].
This initiative reflects a proactive approach within the U.S. gambling industry to address growing concerns about gambling addiction and enhance player safety through technology-driven solutions.
The partnership between ROGA and BetBlocker is significant as it will help advance evidence-based practices that protect consumers from harm. BetBlocker allows players to restrict themselves from 118,400 gambling operator websites worldwide and 1,500 gambling apps [3]. The software's localization strategy ensures coverage for vulnerable groups such as immigrants and people on a lower budget.
Duncan Garvie, Founder at BetBlocker, has expressed his enthusiasm about working with ROGA and its member operators. Jennifer Shatley, the Executive Director of ROGA, is excited about the partnership and its potential to advance evidence-based practices that protect consumers from harm. The collaboration between ROGA and BetBlocker is designed to help tens of thousands of people manage their relationship with gambling [2][5].
The partnership between ROGA and BetBlocker is a strategic move to increase the visibility and accessibility of self-exclusion resources for consumers. It is intended to make resources like BetBlocker more visible and accessible to consumers, helping remove any remaining barriers for people who seek help to control their gambling habits. The initiative aims to equip individuals with practical tools that support their decisions and well-being [2][5].
