Summary
- Gamban has broadened its reach in both Finland and Norway.
- The company consistently provides tailored support to gamblers facing challenges.
- Gamban has partnered with various regulators and non-profit organizations to offer its products.
Gamban, the company behind the software that helps users block online gambling websites and apps, has expanded its offerings by adding support for two new languages, Norwegian and Finnish.
Gamban pursues growth in the Nordics, with seven languages now supported
The recent introduction of Finnish aligns with the upcoming market re-regulation, which will invite more private companies to offer their products. Concurrently, Gamban aims to proactively support players already involved with unregulated operators, assisting them in managing their gambling habits. With Finnish and Norwegian added, Gamban is now accessible in seven languages: Spanish, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, English, and French. This is a significant achievement for the company and its leader, Jack Symons, who believes language should never hinder access to help. Symons' views echo those of Duncan Garvie, Trustee and Founder of BetBlocker, whose charity strives to translate its blocking software into numerous languages and reach immigrant communities in major markets like the United Kingdom. Gamban is collaborating with Veikkaus to provide their software solution free of charge to players, offering a robust tool to help restrict access to gambling products for those who feel they are spending excessively.
Gamban enjoys international acclaim for its services
Gamban has partnered with the Ohio Lottery and the Casino Control Commission's self-exclusion program, Time Out Ohio, to offer its services to local players. Self-exclusion software has gained popularity due to its effectiveness in using data and technology to prevent harmful gambling habits. Gamban has achieved significant success, including a collaboration with the Dutch Gambling Authority to support a pilot project that provides Gamban's services to players in the Netherlands. The company also formed a partnership with Svenska Spel in Sweden. In late 2024, Gamban joined forces with the Vulnerability Registration Service, a non-profit organization. This partnership means that the Gamban software is now recommended to registrants as an effective tool for curbing excessive gambling and aiding in their journey toward recovery.
