(AsiaGameHub) – The Michigan Gaming Control Board (MGCB) is increasing its backing of responsible gambling measures, with the goal of reinforcing the safety nets available to consumers in the Great Lakes State.
MGCB Introduces Gamban to Add an Extra Layer of Protection
To achieve this, the MGCB has partnered with Gamban, a self-exclusion program that operates anonymously and stops vulnerable or at-risk individuals who have registered for self-exclusion from accessing gambling sites.
Through this collaboration, residents in Michigan can obtain a complimentary Gamban license and exclude themselves for a maximum of five years. MGCB executive director Henry Williams expressed his approval of the partnership and its importance:
“Michigan is dedicated to ensuring that the growth of legal gaming is accompanied by the most robust safeguards for our citizens. Our partnership with Gamban provides anyone who wants help with a free, proven method to block access to online gambling – instantly and across all their devices.”
Gamban offers a solution that bypasses standard self-exclusion schemes, functioning as an effective prevention tool even for those not formally enrolled in such programs, which is precisely what the MGCB relies on.
Gamban is a valuable addition to the state-led efforts to help strengthen consumer safeguards and stop individuals from experiencing the negative consequences of gambling.
The software enables users to block access across a broad range of platforms, including macOS, Windows, Android, and iOS, and it further allows players to stop themselves from accessing a wide range of gambling content.
A Meaningful Barrier to Wider Gambling Activities and Content
Commenting on the tie-up, Gamban director of external affairs Matt Zarb-Cousin was similarly pleased to team up with the MGCB and deliver the Gamban service and product at no cost for individuals who may need this important barrier to control their gaming habits.
“When someone takes the first step toward quitting gambling, they will be made aware of all the services available in the state via the Gamban app, while it works to block gambling sites and apps in the background. This approach has improved overall rates of abstinence and recovery in other jurisdictions,” Zarb-Cousin added.
