In 2019, after seeing rapid growth in demand for the BetBlocker tool, it was concluded that it was not financially sustainable to continue to run BetBlocker as an add on to the ADR service. BetBlocker was set-up as a way of helping those players that came to the service with a responsible gambling based complaint, specifically because the ADR was uncomfortable channelling those with gambling addiction issues to fee based blocking services. This service manages complaints between players and online gambling operators on behalf of a number of regulatory agencies. If you see anyone else claiming to have founded BetBlocker, the claims are false. Sadly a number of malicious actors within the gambling sector have falsely claimed that they established, or are in some way associated with, BetBlocker.īetBlocker was founded by Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) service ThePOGG in 2017.
