Pinnacle incorporates gambling-block software for at-risk players
Sportsbook operator partners with Gamban to offer consumers free-of-charge blocking capability across all devices
Pinnacle has partnered with Gamban to give punters access to software that blocks online gambling sites and apps across all devices.
The new partnership will allow Pinnacle to provide free-of-charge protection to at-risk players looking to self-exclude from digital gambling.
The software, if triggered, will block customers from all gambling websites and not just the Pinnacle sportsbook.
Veronique Dos Reis, head of legal and compliance at Pinnacle, said: “Responsible gambling and player welfare are industry-wide issues, so we’re pleased to work with Gamban to offer our customers a blanket self-exclusion tool which covers all gambling sites, not just our own.
“It’s important that those at risk have access to the simplest tools in order to protect themselves effectively and we’re very confident this free facility will be a significant addition to our responsible gaming arsenal,” she added.
Gamban co-founder Jack Symons commented: “In a world where the lure of immediate gratification through digital activity is increasingly tempting, we want to help people regain control and balance.”
