Greentube, the NOVOMATIC Digital Gaming and Entertainment division, has reinforced its commitment to responsible gaming through a new partnership between NOVOMATIC’s Spanish-facing brand AdmiralBet.es and BetBlocker, aimed at improving player protection and raising awareness of safer gambling tools in Spain.

Through this collaboration, AdmiralBet Spain together with BetBlocker are supporting ongoing safer gambling initiatives, further strengthening the operator’s long-standing commitment to player wellbeing and responsible play.

BetBlocker, a UK-registered charitable organisation, provides a free, anonymous self-exclusion tool that allows users to block access to thousands of online gambling websites and apps across multiple devices and languages. Players can choose blocking periods ranging from a few hours to several years, without needing to register or submit any personal information.

As part of the collaboration, AdmiralBet Spain has added the BetBlocker logo to its website footer and included details about the tool on its Safer Gambling page. The resource is also being highlighted within the operator’s player communications, ensuring that users seeking support can easily find and access it.

The initiative follows a previous collaboration between BetBlocker and Greentube’s German operations, marking another step in the company’s ongoing mission to promote responsible gambling across its European markets.

Clara Gómez Grau at AdmiralBet.es, added: “AdmiralBet.es is convinced that a sustainable gaming environment is one where players feel safe, informed and in control. Partnering with BetBlocker allows us to strengthen that commitment by providing a practical tool that supports responsible play and promotes player wellbeing.”

Pedro Romero at BetBlocker, said: “We’re delighted to receive the support of AdmiralBet.es and Greentube in expanding BetBlocker’s reach within the Spanish market. Every partnership helps us to make our service more accessible to those who may benefit from additional tools to control their gambling habits.”

As part of Safer Gambling Week, harm prevention charity BetBlocker today announces the launch of its improved app dashboard.

BetBlocker, which provides blocking software to help people manage or restrict their access to online gambling services, is unique in adopting a charitable model for this type of support, and facilitating users accessing protection both free of charge and anonymously.

The improved dashboard will include signposting for other types of support – a national gambling support phone number, a national gambling self-exclusion register, and a national information resource – for almost 50 countries.

BetBlocker’s Founder and Managing Trustee, Duncan Garvie made the following comments on this upgrade:

“Blocking software is a fantastic tool to support harm minimisation efforts. But it is just one tool, not a complete solution in its own right. Far more significant reductions in harm can be achieved where different types of support are used in conjunction with each other.

The UK has previously led the way in this area with the TalkBanStop campaign. We want to roll out a similar approach to the layering of support in as many countries as possible. So BetBlocker is looking to lead by example, signposting relevant support for our hundreds of thousands of users, wherever appropriate and relevant services exist.”

The new dashboard will also include information on academic research that BetBlocker users can participate in and support. Garvie added:

“The stigma associated with gambling harm can make engaging participants to support crucial research challenging. BetBlocker’s users are exactly the kind of audience that can help researchers better understand how to most effectively reduce harm. BetBlocker is looking to support academic research teams to reach the type of participants that help them expand our understanding of how people interact with gambling.”

Coolbet is proud to announce a renewed donation to BetBlocker, a leading responsible gaming charity offering free access-control tools to players worldwide. This marks the second time Coolbet has supported the organisation’s mission to help individuals manage their gambling habits and play responsibly.

Two years ago, Coolbet’s contribution and volunteer efforts enabled BetBlocker to launch its app and website in Spanish, expanding accessibility to millions of users across Latin America and other Spanish-speaking regions. The renewed donation underlines Coolbet’s ongoing commitment to ensuring such vital tools remain free and available to all.

“Responsible gaming has always been a cornerstone of who we are,” said Fjodor Rauten, Responsible Gaming Manager at Coolbet. “We strongly believe that tools like BetBlocker must remain free for anyone who needs them. By supporting BetBlocker again, we’re helping ensure that players everywhere have access to the help they might need, without barriers.”

BetBlocker’s free software allows users to self-restrict access to online gambling sites and apps for periods of their choice. Its unique Scheduler feature enables users to block access during moments of increased vulnerability, such as weekends, holidays, or paydays.

Coolbet’s renewed donation will help BetBlocker continue expanding its reach, maintaining multilingual support, and improving its technology for global users. The partnership aligns closely with Coolbet’s guiding principle: “Stay Cool. Bet Responsibly.”

“Last week, BetBlocker passed a quarter of a million active users in 2025,” said Duncan Garvie, Founder and Trustee of BetBlocker. “That is an astronomical level of uptake. We couldn’t deliver support to so many people, all over the world, without socially conscientious operators like Coolbet. Their ongoing contribution demonstrates genuine commitment to player protection and ensures that essential tools remain accessible to those who need them most.”

Coolbet first partnered with BetBlocker in 2023, contributing financially and through staff-led volunteer translations that made the service available in Spanish. The collaboration has since been recognised as a milestone in responsible gaming accessibility for Spanish-speaking audiences worldwide.
