In a landmark move to bolster responsible gaming resources across the United States, the Responsible Online Gaming Association (ROGA) has announced a strategic partnership with the US charity BetBlocker.

This collaboration is designed to ensure that any American seeking to manage their online gambling habits has free and anonymous access to effective blocking software.

ROGA, an independent association representing 90% of the legal U.S. sports betting and iGaming market, aims to advance responsible gaming standards through innovation and evidence-based practices.

By partnering with BetBlocker, the association is taking a significant step toward fulfilling that mission. BetBlocker has already become a vital tool for many, providing support to over 150,000 active users in 2025, including more than 10,000 in the United States.

Dr. Jennifer Shatley, Executive Director of ROGA, emphasized the practical impact of the alliance.

Making resources like BetBlocker more visible and accessible is one way we put our mission into action. We’re equipping individuals with practical tools that support their decisions and well-being.

Duncan Garvie, Founder of BetBlocker, noted that industry cooperation is the most effective path to reaching those in need.

The single most effective way for BetBlocker to reach the audience that stand to benefit from our tool is via partnerships with the industry. ROGA represents a coordinated by the U.S. industry to improve responsible gaming standards throughout the sector. Having their backing for the BetBlocker project is a significant step forward for our organisation and will ensure that people who want support to structure where and when they can play online will be able to do so anonymously and for free.

The BetBlocker application is available on all major operating systems, including iOS, Android, and Windows, and can be installed in under two minutes.

The charity is committed to reducing barriers to access, a philosophy that aligns with ROGA’s focus on customized player support.

This synergy will be further enhanced by BetBlocker’s upcoming “Scheduling” feature, which will allow users to create personalized blocking profiles that activate when they are most needed. This collaboration represents a unified commitment to providing a diverse spectrum of support options tailored to individual player needs.
