The brand will provide access to education and treatment programs.

As part of Problem Gambling Awareness Month, SaharaBets has partnered with Birches Health to “focus on proactive engagement and education in responsible gaming.”

As part of the agreement, SaharaBets will offer its customers with “a streamlined custom referral pathway for users facing behavioral health challenges.”

Birches Health offers treatment for problem gambling in collaboration with the Division of Problem Gambling within the Arizona Department of Gaming through their Treatment Assistance Program.

The organization focuses primarily on gaming and gambling disorders, using a three-pronged approach of education, engagement and treatment.

Birches Health Founder Elliott Rapaport said the organization is excited to team up with SaharaBets during Problem Gambling Awareness Month to give the public access to resources.

He said, “We are pleased to collaborate with SaharaBets to ensure individuals who need educational resources and treatment can access them quickly, conveniently and securely.

“Partnerships like this one ensure a supportive, safer ecosystem throughout Arizona.”

SaharaBets President Andrew Patterson said the operator is eager to provide its customer base with resources to aid those who might be affected by problem gambling.

He commented, “We are excited to offer SaharaBets’ customers information and resources that are easy to access and utilize directly from the SaharaBets app.

“Furthermore, we look forward to working with the Birches Health team on continuing to improve the learning opportunities for our team and customers.”

Problem Gambling Awareness Month is a nationwide grassroots campaign that is designed to raise problem gambling awareness and encourage the use of prevention, treatment and recovery resources.
