Gamban to offer gambling blocking product in Spanish
The gambling block provider will launch a Spanish-language service in multiple countries.
UK.- Gamban, the UK-based gambling block provider, is expanding its service with a Spanish-language version of its software. It said the product can be downloaded in all Spanish-speaking countries although it’s particularly thinking of Spain where the government has been focusing closely on safer gambling and has introduced restrictions on gambling advertising.
The Spanish Ministry of Consumer Affairs has been seeking further new safer gambling legislation and has been working on the integration of problem gambling treatment services across Spain’s 17 autonomous regions.
Gamban CEO Jack Symons said: “Spanish has the second largest population of native speakers in the world, so this is a really important step in ensuring blocking software is accessible to as many people harmed by gambling as possible.”
He added: “We’ve gone from strength to strength since we launched in 2015, setting the standard in gambling blocking software. Gamban’s used by thousands of people worldwide and we’ve received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback with some users informing the team that it has literally saved their life.
“Taking the first step continues to be the hardest challenge and much of our time goes into making Gamban as simple and straightforward to install as possible.”
In the UK, Gamban works with Gamstop and GamCare on the TalkBanStop initiative, which has been approved by the British Gambling Commission to run for a second year. Gamstop has reported a 32 per cent rise in registrations for its exclusion product in the last six months.
Gamban also provides software to Norway’s monopoly gaming operator Norsk Tipping and to US betting operators FanDuel and DraftKings and to Kindred Group’s Unibet in the US.
