He added that work is needed, in an urgent manner, when it comes to gaming with credit, and this is why the voluntary blocking from providers and banks is a welcomed first step.

Paul Schooley added that the new block, in-app account, blocking or the ATM withdrawal blocker are all different ways through which the customers can restrict their spending on gambling. It can work for a person who is struggling with problem gambling or someone who is trying to protect their business.

The new function provides real practical help that can aid in helping with the problem gambling issue in the United Kingdom.
