Stake Teams Up with BetBlocker to Boost Responsible Gambling Initiatives

Crypto casino Stake has entered into a partnership with BetBlocker, a non-profit responsible gambling organization, to offer its customers the BetBlocker responsible gambling (RG) tool free of charge. This collaboration aims to enhance Stake’s player safeguarding measures and minimize gambling harm for its users.

BetBlocker Tool for Safer Gambling

The BetBlocker tool, available through anonymous software, allows players to block access to a wide range of gambling websites. It serves as a preventive measure for players experiencing gambling addiction, enabling them to self-exclude in advance and set a timeframe that can range from several days to years.

Pedro Romero, Chief of Safer Gambling Partnerships at BetBlocker, expressed his enthusiasm about the collaboration: “BetBlocker is thrilled to collaborate with Stake to expand the reach of our software. We are delighted that Stake is taking a significant step forward in promoting responsible gambling.”

A Stake spokesperson also commented on the partnership, highlighting the company’s commitment to responsible gambling: “At Stake, we pride ourselves on delivering an entertaining and customer-centric experience while acknowledging the importance of responsible gambling. Strengthening our relationship with BetBlocker plays an integral role in ensuring their product serves to benefit our customers.”

Expanding Responsible Gambling Practices

Earlier this month, BetBlocker also entered into a data-sharing collaboration with Blask, a provider of AI-driven analytics in iGaming. The new partnership with Stake is expected to drive further BetBlocker’s mission to enhance responsible gambling practices.

In January, Stake partnered with Mancala Gaming to expand its presence in the US market. The online crypto gaming sector is rapidly evolving, and responsible gambling remains a critical focus.
