As part of its ongoing commitment to player welfare, the partnership will allow Pinnacle to provide effective, free-of-charge protection to customers looking to self-exclude from gambling at its own site, with Gamban also blocking access to thousands of other gambling sites and apps through its regularly updating database.

Veronique Dos Reis, head of Legal and compliance at Pinnacle, said: “Responsible gambling and player welfare are industry-wide issues, so we’re pleased to work with Gamban to offer our customers a blanket self-exclusion tool which covers all gambling sites, not just our own.

“It’s important that those at risk have access to the simplest tools in order to protect themselves effectively. Gamban delivers exactly that, and we’re very confident this free facility will be a significant addition to our responsible gaming arsenal.”

Jack Symons, cofounder of Gamban, said: “Pinnacle’s displaying great commitment to its customers by offering this valuable support. This further highlights how layering self-exclusion with blocking software is becoming ever more important.

“In a world where the lure of immediate gratification through digital activity is increasingly tempting, we want to help people regain control and balance - and by using Gamban, they can do that.”
