DraftKings and BetBlocker Partner Up for a New Venture

DraftKings, a leading name in sports betting, has teamed up with BetBlocker, a non-profit dedicated to responsible gaming, aiming to boost awareness and accessibility of self-exclusion tools for safer gambling.

Responsible Gambling Partnership

The software empowers users to curtail their gambling habits across all their devices, connecting seamlessly with numerous gaming platforms worldwide, regardless of the licensing status of the sites.

Chrissy Thurmond, DraftKings' senior director overseeing responsible gaming practices, applauded BetBlocker's dedication towards promoting safer gambling, labeling their approach as both commendable and consumer-focused.

BetBlocker champions the view that cutting-edge technology and ongoing innovation are crucial for ensuring safer gambling experiences. They are thrilled about expanding their presence in North America after their significant successes overseas.

No Private Data Collected

BetBlocker highlights that the tool can be downloaded with full confidentiality, refraining from data collection. Users are offered flexible control over their restrictions, choosing durations from mere days to several years, with options to block specific calendar events too.

\"With the impressive backing of significant industry player DraftKings, BetBlocker is excited to expand the reach of our services beyond the UK and Europe, now catering to gamers in the US and Canada,\" expressed Pedro Romero, who leads BetBlocker’s partnerships in safer gambling initiatives.

\"We deeply value our partnership with DraftKings in elevating awareness about safer gambling technologies, fully appreciated by DraftKings' responsible gaming stewardship,\" he added.

\"To ensure all players enjoy a safe betting environment, we urge other operators to emulate DraftKings’ proactive approach and meet higher standards globally,\" he concluded.

DraftKings heavily endorses state-level problem gambling councils and affiliates across the United States through its State Council Funding Program. In May, the company expanded its sports betting and i-Gaming services into Ontario.
