Global Expansion of Gambling Blocker Support
BetBlocker, a charity dedicated to reducing gambling harm through blocking software, has announced that it now supports a quarter of a million unique active users this year. The platform stands out for its charitable model, providing users with the ability to manage or limit their access to online gambling services free of charge and with complete anonymity.
Rising Adoption Across Multiple Regions
Over the course of this year, BetBlocker has experienced a dramatic increase in service adoption worldwide. Engagement has been particularly strong in Brazil, the UK, the US, Romania, Canada, Kenya, and South Africa, highlighting the global reach of the platform’s support services.
Commitment to Data Integrity and Transparency
According to BetBlocker’s Founder and Managing Trustee, Duncan Garvie:
“We invested a lot in 2024 improving our data, to allow us to communicate accurately the performance of our project to our supporters, and to build confidence via transparency. That’s meant ensuring that our data is exactly what we say it is and a focus on making our data easy to understand. We don’t talk about downloads. The number would be higher, but far less meaningful. When we talk about “active users” it means “users with an active BetBlocker restriction in 2025.”
I’ve been blown away by the rate of growth that BetBlocker has seen this year. We would never have imagined that this type of growth was possible at the start of the year, but the rapid and sustained upward trend strongly evidences that there is a huge need for free and anonymous support for gambling harm.
That uptake is distributed so broadly across the globe also demonstrates how universal the need for support managing access to online gambling services is in the digital age.”
