Svenska Spel, a gambling service, offers its users the Gamban prohibition tool.
Swedish gambling service provider Svenska Spel and UK-based firm Gamban, which offers self-exclusion software, have sealed a deal.
Shutting down web-based gambling access
Gamban declared their alliance with Svenska Spel through a press statement on January 26 [English link provided]. Accordingly, users of Svenska Spel's online services can obtain a free Gamban license.
This license enables them to restrict web-based gambling access on their digital gadgets. Gamblers looking for a break or to safeguard themselves from harmful gambling habits will find support from Gamban's blocking mechanism, as per Svenska Spel. The license has a validity period of 5 years as stated by the Swedish provider.
“We’re thrilled to team up with Svenska Spel to offer premier blocking software for individuals looking to quit gambling. This collaboration aligns with Svenska Spel's dedication to offering its customers an enjoyable, secure, and healthy betting experience.”– Matt Zarb-Cousin, Director of External Affairs, Gamban,* Gamban**
Through this collaboration, players can also access extra support services within the Gamban app. Here, they can explore self-exclusion registers or connect to problem gambling hotlines with mere clicks.
The app also allows tracking of gaming habits and shows duration of playtime in a specific period. Additionally, the amount spent is also displayed.
How does Gamban's self-exclusion tool function?
Gamban has prioritized player protection, offering blocking software. Users download the app and register with a license from Svenska Spel, which is free of cost. A single license can safeguard all devices with Gamban.
The software needs setup just once. Users can customize settings like blocking gambling offers and certain financial transactions.
Post-setup, the app automatically shuts down all blocked content, aimed at assisting problem gamblers in taking a break from betting. Gamban is globally accessible and can block numerous websites and apps. The blocked content encompasses sports betting, casinos, slots, lotteries, poker, and numerous other gambling offers.
Svenska Spel sets an encouraging example
Svenska Spel, a state-owned gambling company that has long dominated Sweden, is still one of Sweden's largest gambling providers. The fact that Svenska Spel is the first Swedish provider to partner with Gamban sends a strong message.
“Anyone affected by gambling issues should not be gambling at all. In rare instances, if this occurs, we offer our customers a free Gamban license for up to 5 years. We believe that using Gamban can provide the necessary break from gambling needed to seek help, receive treatment, and start the recovery process.”– Daniel Harre, Responsible Gambling Specialist, Svenska Spel,* Gamban**
Svenska Spel leaders reportedly welcome their alliance with Gamban positively. In a press release, the provider highlights the significance of player protection and their intention to offer required help to their players through this partnership.
Svenska Spel is just one of several reputable gaming providers that have joined forces with Gamban. Kindred also provides its customers with a free Gamban license. Other partners include Norsk Tipping and Flutter Entertainment.
The press statement announced that Gamban and Svenska Spel have partnered to offer self-exclusion software to Svenska Spel's online users, allowing them to restrict web-based gambling access. Gamban's Director of External Affairs expressed excitement about the collaboration, stating that it aligns with Svenska Spel's commitment to offering a secure and healthy betting experience.
