The esteemed responsible gambling charity BetBlocker has announced a landmark partnership with the California Council on Problem Gambling (CalPG), an affiliate of the National Council on Problem Gambling (NCPG).
Through this new collaboration, BetBlocker will officially provide its free gambling-blocking software to all residents of California.
This announcement formalizes and aims to expand BetBlocker’s existing support within the state. The charity revealed it already has over 500 active users in California, a figure that has grown by more than 160% since the beginning of the year.
The new partnership is expected to dramatically increase the visibility and reach of the free tool to those who need it most. BetBlocker noted that its user figures consistently see significant growth in regions where local organizations help raise awareness of its services.
This collaboration marks the first state-level partnership of its kind for BetBlocker in the United States, with the organization confirming that similar agreements with other states are planned for the near future.
The move follows BetBlocker’s recent announcement of its new Gold level membership with the national NCPG, signalling a deeper commitment to the US responsible gambling ecosystem.
In the announcement, BetBlocker expressed its gratitude to Robert Jacobson and the team at CalPG for placing their trust in the charity.
The organization affirmed its pride in delivering free, anonymous support to anyone in California who has been impacted by gambling harm, reinforcing its core mission to provide accessible tools for safer gambling.
