To provide greater support for those suffering from gambling harm, the company has partnered with Gamban, a UK-based firm specialising in blocking online gambling websites on digital devices.
When an individual installs Gamban’s app on their device, it instantly protects them from betting sites, apps and services.
To prevent an individual from relapsing, Gamban never deactivates the service until the subscription ends and cannot be removed manually by the user.
As part of the new agreement, Gamban’s service, which normally costs $35 per year, can be accessed free of charge through Time2play’s website. The service will be funded entirely by Time2play as part of its commitment to responsible gambling.
Tim Tepass, Time2play Co-Founder, commented: “We wanted to do more to help any of our players that may be struggling with gambling addiction. Gamban was the obvious choice for us because of its reliable technology. Other tools are easily bypassed and don't offer the same level of protection.
“We can't say that we are 'for the user' without considering the implications of our product on problem gamblers. While most of our visitors are casual players looking for information on a casino, some could be at higher risk of gambling addiction. We want to do everything we can to support those people, and this collaboration is just the beginning of our efforts.”
The new initiative is part of Time2play’s business plan for the years ahead, especially as the US gambling industry continues to grow rapidly.
Jack Symons, Co-Founder, Gamban, said: “It is vital players understand there is support available if things get out of control. Affiliates are positioned to make people aware of these resources early on.”
