Clarion Gaming has announced BetBlocker as its official charity partner for 2024/2025, marking a significant milestone in the gaming industry’s growing commitment to responsible gambling. BetBlocker will take on this role during major events, including the ICE and iGB Affiliate, set for January 20-22, 2025, at the Fira de Barcelona, and the iGB L!VE event in July 2025.
A Step Towards Safer Gambling
BetBlocker, known for its free, anonymous, and accessible gambling-blocking apps, will play a key role in these major gaming events, aiming to help players manage their gambling habits and reduce harmful practices. The company has become a pioneer in providing tools that empower individuals to control their gambling behavior, offering a proactive solution to combat addiction and minimize risks.
The partnership with Clarion Gaming comes at a time when the gaming industry has made responsible gambling a central focus. BetBlocker’s app allows users to block gambling websites and apps, thus reducing exposure to harmful environments. This initiative is a significant step forward, especially in light of growing concerns around gambling addiction and the need for solutions that promote safer gaming practices.
Duncan Garvie, CEO of BetBlocker, expressed his excitement about the company’s rapid growth, saying, “Our recent expansion has been nothing short of exponential. The increasing demand for responsible gambling solutions is a clear indication that we are on the right track.”
Amplifying the Message at Global Events
BetBlocker’s involvement as a charity partner with Clarion Gaming comes at a crucial time, as the company aims to expand its reach and raise awareness about responsible gambling. The ICE, iGB Affiliate, and iGB L!VE events serve as global platforms where key stakeholders from the gaming industry converge. These events offer BetBlocker a unique opportunity to connect with industry leaders, regulators, and operators, while also amplifying its message to a broader audience.
Pedro Romero, Chief of SG Partnerships at BetBlocker, spoke about the significance of this collaboration. “Being named Clarion Gaming’s charity partner is an honor. It’s a recognition of our efforts to promote safer gambling, and it speaks to the gaming industry’s growing commitment to social responsibility,” Romero said.
He further emphasized that this partnership highlights the industry’s increasing awareness of the need for tools that protect consumers and promote player well-being. The company plans to use this platform to drive meaningful conversations around gambling harm and share its solutions with those who can make a difference.
Plans for Greater Impact
BetBlocker’s role as charity partner will go beyond just raising awareness. The company plans to organize engaging sessions at the events to discuss safer gambling practices and showcase its technology’s effectiveness in reducing gambling-related harm. These efforts are aimed at building on the company’s successful track record in providing practical tools to help those at risk.
One of the company’s recent initiatives includes translating its core software to assist Maltese-speaking consumers. This move is part of BetBlocker’s ongoing efforts to reach diverse communities, including Eastern European groups in the United Kingdom who may not be fluent in English but are still vulnerable to the negative consequences of gambling. Through these targeted efforts, BetBlocker hopes to reach underserved populations and make a significant impact in areas that have historically been overlooked.
By expanding its services and continuing to focus on user accessibility, BetBlocker is well-positioned to help more people take control of their gambling habits and reduce the risks associated with problem gambling.
