Gambless gains certification and expands language options

Gambless, a mobile app that provides remote support to problem gamblers, has expanded its support to include Spanish and Japanese.

UK.- The Gambless remote problem gambling support app has added its support content in Spanish and Japanese as it aims to expand internationally.

The app has also gained a certificate of approval from ORCHA, an independent body that evaluates health apps. ORCHA is recognised by national health organisation in 11 countries, including the NHS in the UK.

ORCHA tests mobile apps against more than 350 indicators, such as clinical assurance, data privacy, usability and regulatory compliance.

Gambless CEO Maurizio Savino said: “We are very pleased to receive this recognition. ORCHA certification gives our users, as well as health organisations all over the world, the assurance that the Gambless mobile app is safe and trustworthy.

“The effectiveness of our app was already known to us. We receive constant messages and emails from problem gamblers who thank us for our support tools. The app, created by our team of psychologists, enables users to learn more about their condition, teaching them how to control their impulses, and thus how to prevent gambling harm.

“Given the overwhelming feedback from our users, we decided to invest further in our product and expand our platform to five languages (English, Spanish, Italian, Russian and Japanese), making our apps available to 1.2bn first language speakers and natives of more than 30 countries.”

Gambless is run by UK-based private company Mind Solutions Ltd.
