Jack’s Casino & Sports (JACKS.NL) is offering players a free subscription to Gamban – a software package that blocks all websites offering online gambling, this is a very effective responsible gaming measure to protect vulnerable players. Once the software is installed players can’t access any online gaming site, legal or illegal.

Eric Olders, CEO and Chairman of the JVH group: “Responsible gaming and the protection of players are both extremely important at JVH. Therefore, we are proud that JACKS.NL is the first Dutch gambling provider offering Gamban software for free. We have been offering this software to our players since the launch of JACKS.NL. We strongly believe that gambling must always be an experience, based on hospitality, safety, variety and, most of all, fun. By offering this software for free – on top of all our other responsible gaming tools and processes – we can provide even greater protection to players.”

“We strive for safe and trusted environments for all our players. Simply excluding vulnerable players from our site alone is not enough. It could drive them to other gambling sites, including and especially illegal sites without proper responsible gaming measures. The essence of improving player protection lies in the exclusion of illegal sites. This software enables players to exclude themselves from all sites. The Gamban software blocks all gaming websites worldwide, preventing those players from any gambling online. Gamban is a smart and most effective software for blocking all gambling sites and applications.”

First Gamban partner in the Netherlands
“We’re pleased to be working with JOI gaming as our first operator partner in the Netherlands. Jack’s Casino & Sports is demonstrating its strong commitment to its players, by offering fully paid for Gamban licenses to their customers. Gamban is most effective when used in addition to other tools and support, such as signing up to CRUKS (the Dutch self-exclusion register), and the use of low limits for young adults” – James Forman, Business Intelligence Officer at Gamban.

Since 2015, Gamban has gone from strength to strength, setting the standard in gambling blocking software. First-hand experience of problem gambling combined with the most talented minds in the field of gambling blocking software has resulted in the most effective cross-platform solution for creating friction and aiding willpower in the fight against gambling addiction. Used by tens of thousands of people worldwide, Gamban has received an overwhelming amount of positive feedback.

“Gamban sees JACKS.NL as a key player that values responsible gaming. Even before obtaining its licence, JACKS.NL was actively looking for innovative techniques to provide additional protection for players”, says Forman.

FDJ Launches New Payment Solution Nirio

French national lottery operator Française des Jeux (FDJ) has launched a new payment solution designed to help households pay their rent and bills.

Nirio was announced earlier this year and represents a collaboration between FDJ and the French Confederation of Tobacconists.

This solution will supposedly allow citizens to pay their water, gas, electricity or telephone bills – as well as rent – at authorised outlets.

FDJ explained how Nirio works: “After scanning their invoice using the Nirio application, the user will have a payment QR code generated on their smartphone, which they can present to a partner merchant.

“After checking their identity document, the user can pay the bill in cash or by card. A proof of payment will then be given to them.”

Currently, 10,000 FDJ partner merchants have signed up to offer Nirio, of which more than half are already approved by France’s Prudential Supervision and Resolution Authority (ACPR).

FDJ has also partnered with housing firm Seqens, who will now, through Nirio, accept rent payments in cash or by card at approved points of sale.

According to FDJ, six million households in France do not wish to use direct debit to pay their bills. Consequently, it believes Nirio will serve as a preferable alternative.

“What is important for our group is to put people back at the heart of the payment of daily bills, by offering an alternative, practical and fast way for people who are sometimes far from urban areas or resistant to online payment,” said Raphaël Botbol, FDJ’s Strategy, Innovation and New Activities Director.
