Charity Partners with the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to Launch New Language Editions in Time for Responsible Gaming Education Month
Safer gambling charity BetBlocker has announced that its free and anonymous gambling management software is now available in simplified Chinese, traditional Chinese, and Vietnamese. Realized through a strategic partnership with the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC), the language expansion aligns with the 2026 observance of Responsible Gaming Education Month in the United States, bringing vital protection tools to underserved communities.
With research demonstrating that native-language support is essential for users attempting to control their gambling habits, the BetBlocker team has steadily increased its linguistic offerings. Because over 50% of households in Massachusetts speak a language other than English, with Chinese and Vietnamese representing major linguistic groups alongside Spanish and Portuguese, the MGC championed the development to ensure equal access to harm-prevention tools.
Executive Perspectives on Language Accessibility
Commenting on the collaboration, Pedro Romero, Chief of SG Partnerships at BetBlocker, highlighted the importance of eliminating barriers to support:
“Language should never be a barrier to accessing support for gambling related harm. We’re delighted to work with the Massachusetts Gaming Commission to launch BetBlocker in Chinese and Vietnamese for Responsible Gaming Education Month, helping us reach more underserved communities across the US, with a completely free and anonymous tool, to help people in their recovery journey.”
