Gamban expands to Finnish and Norwegian languages

• Gamban has expanded in both Finland and Norway
• The company continues to deliver localized support to gamblers who struggle
• Gamban has collaborated with a number of regulators and non-profits to provide its products

Gamban, a company that develops the eponymous software that allows players to block access to online gambling websites and apps, has expanded with the addition of two new languages, Norwegian and Finnish.

Gamban pursues growth in the Nordics, with seven languages now supported

The latest addition is Finnish and it comes ahead of the anticipated re-regulation of the market, which will open the landscape for more private companies looking to offer their products. At the same time, Gamban is hoping to act preemptively and offer support to players who may already be engaged with black-market operators and need help managing their habit.

With the addition of Finnish and Norwegian, Gamban is now available in seven different languages, on top of Spanish, Dutch, Brazilian Portuguese, English, and French, a major milestone for the company and its boss, Jack Symons, who has said that languages should never be a barrier to accessing help.

Symons’ remarks reflect those of BetBlocker’s Trustee and Founder, Duncan Garvie, whose charity organization has been on a similar quest to translate its blocking software to as many languages as possible, and even target immigrant communities in bigger markets such as the United Kingdom.

Gamban is already working with Veikkaus to distribute the software solution for free to players, allowing them to access a powerful tool that can further limit access to gambling products if a person feels that they are overspending.

Gamban enjoys international acclaim for its services

Gamban has also collaborated with the Ohio Lottery and Casino Control Commission’s self-exclusion program, Time Out Ohio, to provide the same service to local players.

Self-exclusion software has become particularly popular, owing to its efficiency and use of data and technology to ensure that it is efficient and effective in restricting harmful practices.

Gamban has much to be happy about, as over the past months, it also teamed up with the Dutch Gambling Authority to fund a pilot project that makes Gamban available to players in the country. The company similarly teamed up with Svenska Spel in Sweden.

In late 2024, Gamban also teamed up with the Vulnerability Registration Service, a non-profit organization, which now recommends the Gamban software to its registrants as an efficient way to limit their excessive gambling and start their journey to improvement.
