BetBlocker Launches Italian Version of its App

BetBlocker has launched the Italian version of its app.
“Italian is the fifth language that we’ve launched support for in the first two months of 2025. Unlike commercial blocking softwares, who focus their attentions on markets that are viewed as commercially viable, BetBlocker is determined to remove the language barrier for as many users as possible,” the Company said.
“Gambling addiction is no different in Zambia, Brazil or Serbia than it is in the UK, US or the Netherlands. It is critical that we remove unnecessary friction to our free, anonymous support for as many people as possible.
“BetBlocker would like to extend our heartfelt thanks to Francesco Casartelli, who volunteered to provide the translation services that have facilitated this launch. Francesco’s work will allow us to support thousands more Italian speakers, and directly touch and improve the lives of a huge number of people and families.”
