Gamblers Connect is excited to report that BetBlocker has announced two new additions to its team for the Board of Trustees, John Wright and Darrell Helyar.
Two individuals known for their charitable work for BetBlocker and for shining the light on this fantastic project, both Wright and Heylar, have been early supporters of BetBlocker and volunteered their time to help get more awareness for the app.
John Wright expressed excitement with the prospect of becoming a member of the Board of Trustees at BetBlocker:
I am honoured to be considered for the Board of Trustees for BetBlocker. I’ve been the #1 supporter of the app since day 1 and I’ve always wanted to give something back to help players. It is my belief that more people should get involved in the responsible gambling side of the industry. I hope that my participation in responsible gambling encourages others to get involved and especially to encourage more affiliates to list RG resources on their sites. If the industry knows how to help players, then everyone benefits.
Speaking of awareness, BetBlocker’s work has been significantly growing over the last two years. The charity has been featured at numerous responsible gambling segments at conferences and has won a number of awards.
Moreover, the Founder of BetBlocker, Duncan Garvie, is a regular speaker at iGaming industry events, helping to educate the industry about responsible gambling issues and constantly fighting to raise awareness to this crucial segment of the industry.
Duncan Garvie commented on the development:
John Wright has been foundational in the BetBlocker project. He was the person that challenged me to create a free, anonymous to use blocking software. Over the years he’s supported the charity with time, expertise, innovative ideas (a major upcoming feature was John’s brainchild) and design work. While not many know it, he’s played a significant role in the success of BetBlocker.
Moreover, Garvie proceeded to say:
Darrell Helyar has been equally significant. Darrell’s business acumen and knowledge of structuring a complex organisation in a challenging sector has been invaluable to BetBlocker. His empathetic approach to people management has provided sound strategic advice that has allowed BetBlocker to build a positive and hungry team that is up to the challenge of tackling the issue of gambling harm reduction. The expansion of our Board of Trustees to include these talented and knowledgeable individuals is a big win for BetBlocker.
