Svenska Spel makes Gamban available to self-excluders in Sweden

Swedish state-owned lottery and gaming operator Svenska Spel has agreed a deal to make Gamban’s blocking software available to its self-excluded customers.

The partnership will see customers who have chosen to self-exclude from online gambling offered a free Gamban license and access to more support via the Gamban app.

“We are excited to be working with Svenska Spel to provide market leading blocking software to people wanting to stop gambling,” said Gamban director of external affairs Matt Zarb-Cousin. “This partnership reflects Svenka Spel’s commitment to all of their customers playing in a fun, safe and healthy way.”

Svenska Spel responsible gambling specialist Daniel Harre commented: “We're convinced that if someone is suffering from their gambling they should not gamble at all. Therefore, in the rare cases our customers experience this, we'll offer them a free Gamban license for up to 5 years.

“We believe that using Gamban may give someone the pause from gambling that is required for seeking help, going into treatment and start recovering.”
