KSA announces Gamban project
The Netherlands Gambling Authority (KSA) will fund a pilot project with Gamban that will see the Dutch regulator make full use of Gamban’s software, which allows consumers to block access to all online gambling sites and apps on their device.
Via the KSA’s funding, Dutch users will be able to install the software free-of-charge for a year by contacting the Netherlands’ national support service, Loket Kansspel, via several different forums, including WhatsApp and email.
Users will also be granted access to a recently released Dutch version of the app, while Gamban works alongside the KSA to identify unlicensed operators as part of the regulator’s bid to thwart black-market activity.
Nathalie Smit, Loket Kansspel director, explained: “By partnering with Gamban, we’re empowering individuals to stay in control and manage their gambling behaviour. We are excited to provide people with free access to gambling blocking software.”
