Objectives

(a) the prevention or relief of poverty, (n) the relief of those in need by reason of age, ill-health, disability, financial hardship or other disadvantage, BetBlocker is being established to distribute the web application of the same name. This web application enables users to restrict their device from accessing online gambling sites. BetBlocker is intended to help address the growing social issue of gambling addiction by providing a physical limitation on the user's ability to access gambling services. The application will be provide free of charge to users in all geographic locations, will not include any form of advertising and will not gather user data for any purposes beyond improving the tool and assisting users with technical issues. A secondary function of the tool will allow users to place 'Parental Controls' on a device to allow parents to restrict access to age sensitive material (gambling, pornography, 'freemium' apps and social media) on devices used by their juvenile dependants. This function is intended to provide concerned parents with greater control over the material that their children can access. In this manner we would seek to provide relief from the disadvantage of gambling addiction and mitigate the poverty that can be resultant.
