DraftKings and BetBlocker Announce Responsible Gambling Partnership
The software permits users to establish limits on gambling activities on their personal devices for a vast number of gambling websites, regardless of whether these websites are regulated or the operators are licensed.
“BetBlocker’s contribution to safer gambling is praiseworthy, and DraftKings is thrilled to partner with this progressive and groundbreaking non-profit organization that is advancing responsible gambling in a comprehensive and user-friendly manner,” stated Chrissy Thurmond, Senior Director of Responsible Gambling at DraftKings.
“We are in agreement with BetBlocker’s perspective that technology and innovation are essential to promoting safer gaming, and we warmly welcome BetBlocker’s establishment of its business in North America following its widespread success abroad.”
BetBlocker asserts that the free tool does not gather personal information and allows users to download the software anonymously. Consumers can select the duration or format of the restrictions.
A program named BetBlocker, aimed at assisting individuals in managing their gambling tendencies, is expanding its reach to the United States and Canada. They are receiving support from DraftKings, a prominent figure in the realm of sports wagering.
BetBlocker’s leader, Pedro Romero, expressed enthusiasm about collaborating with DraftKings. He remarked that they are impressed by DraftKings’ dedication to accountable gambling and are grateful for their financial backing. He also urged other businesses to emulate DraftKings’ example and ensure that all participants possess the necessary resources for safe betting practices.
DraftKings contributes to responsible gambling by providing financial aid to state committees and organizations affiliated with the National Council on Problem Gambling. They commenced offering sports betting and online gaming services in Ontario this past May.
