BetBlocker debuts US arm of charity organization

After several months of planning, gambling blocking software company BetBlocker has launched a US branch of its charity, called BetBlocker US.

The company said it will focus on “extending the protections it can offer to US residents” through this new organization. BetBlocker US will operate in the United States as a nonprofit organization and has confirmed its 501(c) status in the state of Delaware.

“This can only be viewed as a massive step forward for safer gambling practices in the US. BetBlocker’s market coverage continues apace,” the company said in a statement.

BetBlocker Founder and Trustee Duncan Garvie explained the company’s motivation for launching in the US.

He said, “BetBlocker’s pioneering free support has been minimising 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.”
