PayPal Adopts Gamban Blocking Technology
The technology allows people to block gambling transactions to avoid any potential temptation; this includes casino and sports betting in their various forms.
The Gamban app can be downloaded from the Google Play Store or Apple’s App Store and, as well as barring gambling transactions, also blocks access to such websites across all devices.
Commenting on the news, Gamban said: “PayPal offering its users the option to block gambling transactions is a welcome addition to the gambling recovery toolkit.
“Between blocking gambling transactions at your bank and PayPal, blocking online gambling with Gamban, self-excluding yourself with Gamstop and seeking support from GamCare you’ll give yourself the best chance at recovery.”
Pricing
There are currently two membership tiers at Gamban, with the service available monthly or for 12 months. A seven-day free trial can also be claimed to see if the service is helpful to you.
Gamban is available free through TalkBanStop, with a simple phone verification required, with the app also supplying a range of useful resources to help tackle gambling addiction.
Our responsible gambling page has plenty of tips to help you gamble safely as well as what to look for as signs of addiction.
