BetBlocker adds Dutch to its responsible gambling app via deal with L&L Europe

BetBlocker, a free-to-use application that players can install on their devices to block access to a vast number of gambling websites, has announced that through a partnership with L&L Europe, their responsible gambling app is now available in the Dutch language, additionally, BetBlocker will now be able to offer Dutch language technical support.

BetBlocker is a UK-registered charity that offers the only free available blocking software on the market. It both allows users to restrict themselves from accessing remote gambling services entirely via a continuous block, or to manage when they can access gambling by scheduling when the restriction switches on/off, to offer protection during periods of vulnerability.

BetBlocker is already available to any user anywhere in the world in its English language form. Although the restriction is equally viable for users from any country, however, the company stated that offering native language technical support ensures that the maximum number of users within specific language markets can engage fully with the service.

Duncan Garvie, BetBlocker's founder and Trustee, said: “Expanding BetBlocker to other language markets has always been a clear objective for the service. The most significant barrier to taking this step is providing native language support, due to the staffing costs involved. The partnership with L&L Europe is a symbiotic relationship that both allows BetBlocker to focus the funding we receive on improving and expanding the protections that our app offers while L&L Europe demonstrates its commitment to responsible gambling, providing translation services to allow Dutch users to access BetBlocker in the language they are most comfortable with. We hope that this will be the first of many such partnerships with the industry that will allow us to offer our service in a variety of languages.”

Jan Wienk, Marketing Manager and Head of Product Development for L&L Europe, added: “How a simple question like: “Is there a gambling block application available in the Dutch language?” results in such an amazing and well-executed project. Extremely proud to be collaborating with Betblocker & “Pas op met Gamen en Gokken” founder Feite Hofman. An online casino operator has a duty of care, and this project completion shows we have. This truly shows we’re not only compliant within the field of responsible gambling, but we also take the extra step.”
