Partnership Formed Between ROGA and BetBlocker for Advancement of Gambling Prevention Software
The Responsible Online Gaming Association (ROGA) has joined forces with BetBlocker, a UK-based charity, to bring free gambling blocking software to the United States market. This partnership aims to provide U.S. players with the tools they need to manage and block access to gambling sites, promoting responsible gambling practices across the country [1][3][4][5].
As a collaboration between two organizations dedicated to raising standards for responsible online gaming, this partnership signifies a significant step forward for BetBlocker. ROGA, which represents around 90% of the legal U.S. sports betting industry, will help tailor BetBlocker's blocking technology to the U.S. market [1][3].
BetBlocker offers software that allows users to block access to multiple gambling sites and apps. This software is designed to support individuals who need help managing their online gambling [1][3]. Through this partnership, BetBlocker's services will be made more visible and accessible to a wider audience in the U.S. [4].
Currently, BetBlocker serves over 150,000 active users, with over 10,000 of these in the United States [2]. The software blocks access to over 118,000 online gaming websites [1]. The partnership does not involve advertising for BetBlocker, but rather a conscious commitment from both ROGA and BetBlocker to help players manage their online gambling habits [3].
The services provided by BetBlocker are anonymous and free, ensuring that people who want support for managing their online gambling can do so without fear of judgement or cost [6]. This partnership will ensure that these services are accessible to individuals in the U.S., supporting them in making informed decisions about their online gambling and maintaining their well-being [5].
This partnership is a coordinated effort by the U.S. gambling industry to improve responsible gaming standards throughout the sector [1][4]. It reflects a broader commitment within the industry to advance responsible gambling measures and empower players with resources to control their gambling behavior.
