BetBlocker is very proud to announce that their service is now available in the Dutch language.

As was announced in May this year, working in partnership with L&L Europe, BetBlocker have expanded their service to offer their responsible gambling app entirely in Dutch. Alongside this, BetBlocker will now be able to offer Dutch language technical support.

BetBlocker is a UK registered charity that offers the only freely available blocking software on the market. It both allows users to restrict themselves from accessing remote gambling services entirely via a continuous block, or to manage when they can access gambling by scheduling when the restriction switches on/off, to offer protection during periods of vulnerability.

Expanding the BetBlocker service into other language markets is a natural progression for the service. BetBlocker is already available to any user anywhere in the world in its English language form. The restriction itself is equally viable for users from any country. However, offering native language technical support ensures that the maximum number of users within specific language markets can engage fully with the service.

Duncan Garvie, founder and Trustee for the charity, had this to say:

“Expanding BetBlocker to other language markets has always been a clear objective for the service. The most significant barrier to taking this step is providing native language support, due to the staffing costs involved.

The partnership with L&L Europe is a symbiotic relationship that both allows BetBlocker to focus the funding we receive on improving and expanding the protections that our app offers while L&L Europe demonstrate their commitment to responsible gambling, providing translation services to allow Dutch users to access BetBlocker in the language they are most comfortable with.

We hope that this will be the first of many such partnerships with the industry that will allow us to offer our service in a variety of languages.”

Jan Wienk, Marketing Manager and Head of Product Development for L&L Europe added:

“How a simple question like: “Is there a gambling block application available in the Dutch language?” results in such an amazing and well executed project! Extremely proud to be collaborating with Betblocker & “Pas op met Gamen en Gokken” founder Feite Hofman. An online casino operator has a duty of care, and this project completion shows we have. This truly shows we’re not only compliant within the field of responsible gambling, but we also take the extra step.

The latest Ygam impact report reiterates the integral role that the charity plays in preventing gaming and gambling harms among young people.

Between January 2024 to March 2025, Ygam trained nearly 10,000 delegates and reached and estimated 1.3 million children and young people across the UK – the highest reach figure since its inception in 2014. Recognised as the UK’s leading charity dedicated to prevention gambling harms among young people, Ygam has continued to set the standard in the sector.

The charity has significantly strengthened its focus on data, evaluation, and evidence-based practice, commissioning independent evaluations of four of its flagship programmes. These evaluations have generated robust insights into the long-term effectiveness of Ygam’s approach and are helping to shape the future of prevention education across the UK.

This report brings together a rich body of evidence, including independent evaluations, pre- and post-training feedback, and delegate testimonials – compiled to inform strategic direction and long-term effect.

Ygam’s growing prominence is reflected in its expanding reputation and influence across the youth sector. The charity continues to build strong partnerships with schools, universities, youth organisations, and community groups, ensuring its resources are embedded where they can make the greatest impact. Ygam is now working with esteemed brands including The Scouts, NSPCC, The Children’s Society, TSB Bank, Place2Be, and Barnardo’s.

The charity’s work has also been praised by Gambling Minister Baroness Twycross, who welcomed the publication of the report.

Parliamentary Under-Secretary of State at the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, Baroness Twycross, said:  “I welcome this report, which highlights Ygam’s vital role in educating more than one million young people on how to lead safer digital lives.

One of my key priorities as gambling minister is to strengthen protections around those most vulnerable to harmful gambling and I look forward to collaborating with Ygam in future as we continue to build a safer online space for young people.”

Helen Martin, Chief Operating Officer and Interim Chief Executive at Ygam, said: “I’m incredibly proud to present this impact report, which highlights Ygam’s leading role in the prevention field and our recognised expertise in safeguarding children and young people. Central to our success is a strong commitment to collaboration and the transformative power of partnership.

I’m delighted with the strides we’ve made in evaluating our work. While our reach figures are impressive, they represent just one facet of the significant impact we are achieving. By investing time and resources in rigorous evaluation, we ensure our programmes are not only evidence-based but also exemplify best-in-class standards and deliver lasting impact.

Our dedication to thorough evaluation, ongoing learning, and reflective practice empowers us to continually enhance our approach and meet the evolving needs of the communities we support. This commitment will continue to reinforce our position as trusted experts in the field.”

  • 1,324,416 estimated young people reach through delegates trained.
  • 9,448 delegates trained in positions of care and influence over young people, including 3,762 teachers and youth workers.
