BetBlocker expands its support service to Serbia and beyond
The charity is working to broaden its global presence by providing localized services that help individuals struggling with gambling. These services offer assistance and the option to self-exclude from gambling activities in their native languages. Thanks to a new partnership with Gamblers Connect, BetBlocker recently announced the extension of its services to Serbia, including support in the Serbian language. BetBlocker has been rapidly expanding its multilingual offerings by collaborating with various companies and individuals to secure the necessary funding and resources for translating its services. In recent months, the app has launched in languages such as Catalan, Maltese, and French, with Serbian being one of the latest additions. BetBlocker noted that there are at least 10 million Serbian speakers who need support in their native language. According to a 2018 study by International Gambling Studies, 0.5% of gambling participants suffer from gambling-related problems. BetBlocker's introduction is timely and could significantly strengthen local consumer safeguards, ensuring their safety. BetBlocker expressed gratitude to Gamblers Connect for their pro bono assistance with the translation, which was crucial for the app's expansion into new regions.
