Kindred launches filters against gambling sites

Kindred is the gaming group that previously went by the name Unibet Group. Unibet is one of the brands under Kindred's umbrella. Maria Casino and High Roller are two others.

When it comes to issues such as responsible gaming and promoting responsible gaming online, Kindred is one of the players that has invested the most over the years, and now we can tell you about a novelty that makes Kindred's position even more unique. It has signed an agreement with the British company Gamban to offer players a filter against gambling sites. Kindred has also previously collaborated with the company GPHP Group Limited to develop the software Betfilter.

Impossible to reach gambling sites

If you look at Unibet for example and read about responsible gambling, you will find a whole battery of information and tips. You will also find a function through which you can do a self-test. At the bottom of the responsible gambling front page you will find the heading ”block betting sites”. Here is a link to the Betfilter service.

Betfilter is a software for Windows, MacOS, Android and iOS that Kindred has been involved in developing. With this software installed in the browser, both access to gaming sites and advertisements for games are blocked. This software has reportedly been downloaded over 100,000 times, so it's clearly popular.

With the cooperation with Gamban, the blocking service will be further improved with a broader filter. In addition, there is the possibility to block also sites for esports, crypto currencies and other services/products that those who have a gambling addiction may need to avoid. Gamban is also a more compelling filter that is reversed on the impossibility of$ING.

Kindred's new venture will launch on april 10. Then players at Unibet (at a first stage) will be able to install Gamban on up to three devices and block all gambling sites for free for a year.

An integral part of the responsible gaming concept

Programs and features that restrict access to various sites on the internet are, of course, nothing new. It has been finding blocking functions for many years. What is new about Kindred's bet is that it directly connects to gambling on gambling sites. Anyone who feels that gambling is taking over can install blocking software directly with a few clicks via Kindred sites without having to go the detour via Google to search for programs.

The most important measure for those who have a gambling addiction or are at risk of suffering from it, is to eliminate access to gambling as soon as possible, and through Kindred's concept this becomes possible.
