BetBlocker — Responsible Gaming

BetBlocker — Responsible Gaming logo
BetBlocker is a UK-based non-profit organisation specialising in providing free self-exclusion tools for players who wish to limit or remove their access to online gambling platforms. Unlike other self-exclusion schemes tied to specific jurisdictions, BetBlocker operates globally, blocking over 90,000 gambling sites and apps regardless of their licensing. Its completely free and anonymous model, which does not require users' personal data, represents a key differentiator from conventional solutions in the responsible gambling market.
BetBlocker's core product is its cross-platform application, available for iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, Linux, and Fire OS. Once installed and activated, the restriction cannot be lifted until the selected period ends, ranging from 24 hours to five years. This temporary irreversibility feature is crucial for its clinical effectiveness, as it prevents a player in crisis from impulsively uninstalling the protection. The app also includes parental controls, allowing families to protect minors from accessing gambling content. BetBlocker maintains a continuous update policy for its database, incorporating new gambling sites and applications daily. Users can report unblocked platforms directly from the application, making the community an active part of the protection ecosystem. In 2025, BetBlocker reported over 60,000 monthly active users on its iOS application, with a presence in markets as diverse as the UK, Spain, Sweden, and the United States. Within the iGaming B2B market, BetBlocker positions itself as an essential complement to national regulatory schemes such as GamStop in the UK or Spelpaus in Sweden. Operators and regulators can integrate or reference BetBlocker on their responsible gambling pages, as MGM Resorts International and the Colorado Lottery in the US have done. This ability to partner with top-tier operators reinforces its institutional credibility and its value as a voluntary compliance tool. For operators operating or planning to operate in expanding Latin American markets, BetBlocker represents an immediate and zero-cost implementation solution to complement the responsible gambling programs required by emerging regulators in countries such as Colombia, Argentina, and Brazil. Its global reach and lack of access barriers make it a adaptable resource for any jurisdiction, making it especially relevant in regions where national self-exclusion infrastructure is still under development.
