The state-run operator believes that the only way to effectively deal with gambling problems is to quit gambling. Gamban can help in this aspect by making sure affected players are prevented from accessing gambling content. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Daniel Harre<\/strong>, Responsible Gambling Specialist at Svenska Spel AB, said Gamban provides users with a much-needed break from online gambling, allowing them to seek help, undergo treatment, and start their recovery. Those who want to quit gambling may install the Gamban app for free and will enjoy its services and tools at no cost for up to five years.<\/p>\n<p>Gamban adopts a multi-layered approach to blocking thousands of gambling sites and platforms worldwide, including those that offer <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\">sports betting<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/casinos\">online casino<\/a>, slots, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/poker\">online poker<\/a>, table games, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/bingo\">bingo<\/a>, lotteries, NFTs, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/cryptocurrency\">crypto<\/a>, as well as trading platforms, gambling affiliates, and many more.<\/p>\n<p>Gamban also allows users to monitor their progress, providing them with data on how long they\u2019ve remained gamble-free and how much time and money they\u2019ve saved along the way. With just one license, the Gamban app can be installed across all of the user\u2019s devices, and they can instantly block themselves from gambling sites. Additionally, customers can benefit from tailored support resources via the app.<\/p>\n<p>Welcoming their partnership with Svenska Spel, <strong>Matt Zarb-Cousin<\/strong>, Director of External Affairs at Gamban, said their goal is to provide market-leading blocking software to those who want to quit gambling.<\/p>\n<h2>Svenska Spel Loses Trademark Dispute vs. ATG<\/h2>\n<p>Svenska Spel has lost its trademark dispute against <a href=\"https:\/\/www.legitgambling.com\/sports-betting\/horse-racing\">horse betting<\/a> operator <strong>Aktiebolaget Trav och Galopp<\/strong> (ATG).
