Regulator purchases additional Gamban licences for residents
The MGCB recently announced the purchase of an additional 100 free Gamban licences for residents. The regulator said the purchase follows extraordinary demand for the gambling block software since its launch in April.
More than 80 of the initial 100 licences were claimed in the first two weeks, the MGCB said. It suggested this was a signal that residents are seeking practical tools to help them manage or eliminate their access to online gambling.
