BetBlocker has expanded its multilingual gambling harm prevention services with the launch of Traditional Chinese, Simplified Chinese and Vietnamese language support.
The UK-registered charity said the expansion was delivered through its partnership with the Massachusetts Gaming Commission (MGC), which has worked with BetBlocker since 2025. According to the organisation, the additional languages are intended to improve access to its free gambling-blocking software for Chinese- and Vietnamese-speaking communities in Massachusetts.
BetBlocker provides software that enables users to block access to online gambling websites and applications across desktop and mobile devices. The service is available free of charge and is designed to complement other responsible gambling measures, including self-exclusion schemes and treatment services.
The latest rollout follows several language additions made over the past year as the charity has expanded its localisation efforts. Earlier this year, BetBlocker introduced Syrian Arabic support to improve accessibility for displaced communities across Europe and the Middle East. Previous updates have also included Slovakian and Ukrainian.
The expansion comes amid broader efforts across a number of jurisdictions to improve the accessibility of gambling harm prevention services. Regulators, charities and public health organisations have increasingly highlighted language as a barrier that can limit access to support, particularly among migrant and minority communities.
BetBlocker has also continued to work with regulators and public health bodies on funding and accessibility initiatives. Earlier this year, the charity secured levy funding in England following approval from the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities to support the delivery of its services.
The latest language additions represent another step in the organisation's ongoing efforts to broaden access to gambling harm prevention tools in different markets.
