To do so, Gamban – a software tool designed to block access to gambling websites and apps across multiple devices – will provide PFA NI members with access to its technology free of charge.
Melissa Etherington, Partnerships Executive at Gamban, highlighted that gambling addiction is a growing issue in football, which impacts mental health, finances, and a player’s performance on the pitch.
She explained: “It also has the potential to impact sports integrity. We are delighted to partner with PFA NI to raise awareness of Gamban among those most at risk from harms related to online gambling.”
In offering the service, the organisations aim to help protect professional players from the risks of gambling addiction and give them the tools they need to take control of their well-being.
