Michigan Regulator Offers Residents Free Access to Gambling Blocking Services

(AsiaGameHub) –   The MGCB has revealed a partnership with Gamban.

US.- The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) has entered into an agreement to provide Michigan residents with complimentary access to Gamban, a software designed to block gambling sites. Gamban restricts access to all online gambling platforms, including social casinos, cryptocurrency-based betting, and NFT wagering, extending its reach beyond licensed operators to encompass unregulated and illicit websites.

State residents are eligible to receive a free license, with durations available between one and five years. While enrollment in a self-exclusion program is not mandatory, individuals already registered on the Disassociated Persons List or the Responsible Gaming Database are particularly urged to utilize this extra layer of security.

Henry Williams, executive director of the MGCB, stated: “Michigan is dedicated to guaranteeing that the growth of regulated gaming is accompanied by the most robust protections for our citizens. Our collaboration with Gamban provides a proven, free resource for anyone seeking to block online gambling access immediately across all their personal devices.”

Matt Zarb-Cousin, director of external affairs at Gamban, added: “We are pleased to work with the Michigan Gaming Control Board to offer Gamban at no cost, removing financial barriers for those who need it. When an individual begins their journey to stop gambling, the Gamban app will inform them of all available state resources while simultaneously blocking gambling applications and websites in the background. This strategy has successfully increased abstinence and recovery levels in other regions.”

In March, the MGCB unveiled a revamped website in honor of Problem Gambling Awareness Month. The updated Don’t Regret the Bet portal includes enhanced support resources, educational materials, and additional tools.
