Reading time: 2 minutes With online gambling growing rapidly in the United States, the Responsible Online Gaming Association (ROGA) and the BetBlocker blocking tool are joining forces to offer players easy access to free and anonymous protection. This initiative marks a significant step forward in the fight against excessive gambling, putting prevention just a click away.
An alliance to regulate online gaming
On 13 August 2025, a pact was sealed between two major players in responsible gaming: ROGA and BetBlocker. This collaboration aims to make protection mechanisms, which are often difficult to find for players in distress, more accessible.
ROGA, which brings together eight of the largest online gaming operators in the United States, intends to promote BetBlocker through its own channels and through its members. Thanks to this initiative, American players will now have direct links to a simple and anonymous tool that will enable them to regain control of their gaming behaviour.
BetBlocker: an ally without barriers
Created in the United Kingdom, BetBlocker offers free, anonymous software that can be used on all devices. It blocks thousands of gambling websites and apps, whether regulated or not, without asking anything in return from the user. It is a particularly accessible tool, as it is free and does not track personal data.
The partnership with ROGA goes beyond a simple relay: it opens up a real promotional channel, with the promise of enhanced availability and clear guidance on downloading for players wishing to self-regulate.
A notable innovation accompanies this launch: BetBlocker will add a proactive programming feature. Users will be able to set time slots or dates during which access to gaming platforms will be automatically restricted. This planning dimension enriches the range of choices available to better protect oneself.
A constructive alliance for the future of responsible gaming
Beyond the immediate effects, this partnership sends a strong message: the online gaming industry can build comprehensive and structured responses to the risks of addiction by combining operator mobility (ROGA) and accessible technology (BetBlocker).
Future planning (via a self-programming blocking function) promises to transform the software into a personal prevention assistant, made all the more effective by the fact that it is suddenly being brought to the forefront by the major players in the sector.
