BetBlocker has introduced the newest version of its gambling prevention and blocking software. This update was announced at the SBC Summit Lisboa. The latest version of the app is now available in Portuguese. The goal of this launch is to make the app accessible to Portuguese speakers worldwide. By offering the app in Portuguese, BetBlocker hopes to reach more people and support those who need help with gambling problems. This step shows their commitment to preventing gambling harm on a larger scale.
The Bigger Picture
BetBlocker has launched its gambling support software in Portuguese. This tool is free and anonymous, helping players with gambling problems. With over 200 million native Portuguese speakers worldwide, this launch removes a major language barrier. Now, millions of people affected by gambling issues can access this important support.
BetBlocker had a busy summer this year. In June, they partnered with Blask and Stake to promote responsible gaming. Then, in July, they formed a collaboration with Casino.Guru. Recently, the charity also received a support pledge from Aristocrat. This shows BetBlocker’s dedication to expanding its reach and helping more people with gambling-related challenges.
Reaction
Duncan Garvie, the founder and trustee of BetBlocker, sounded excited about the latest update. He explained that BetBlocker is the only blocking software that is free and anonymous. Users can download and start blocking within two minutes. However, this is possible only if they understand the instructions.
He also added that many people who need BetBlocker’s help are often in a crisis. They may find it hard to set up the tool, especially if they don’t fully understand the instructions. This creates a big challenge in getting the support they need. Garvie also mentioned that each time they launch BetBlocker in a new language, user engagement in that language increases by 4 to 10 times.
