If you're struggling with gambling, it doesn't stop when you clock in for work.
Gamban has partnered with Free Me South Africa to provide our gambling blocking software as well as education and awareness training for both employers and employees.
Pierre van Staden, CEO of Free Me South Africa, speaks to @cnbcafrica about the rise of gambling in the country and his own experience.
Gamban are really excited to partner with Free Me South Africa to provide our award-winning blocking software to FMSA’s Workplace Gambling Harm Reduction Management System.
The South African Responsible Gambling Foundation has warned that the country's boom in sports betting could lead to greater financial and mental health harm.
Our partnership, alongside other practical resources, will give both employers and employees the tools to help reduce harm caused by online gambling.
We are looking forward to working closely with Free Me South Africa.

Prediction markets like Kalshi and Polymarket don’t use the typical language that most betting sites use.
Instead, they use words that make betting feel like investing, framing the activity in a more positive and productive light.
This changes how you feel about betting on these sites, making it feel less risky. You haven’t “lost money”, you’ve “taken a loss on your investment portfolio.”
60% of prediction-market sports bettors believed winning was down to skill, compared with 50% of sportsbook users.
Prediction markets feel more sophisticated and skill-based, but carry the same dangers as traditional gambling.
Gamban recognises this, and blocks all prediction markets, CFDs, cryptocurrency exchanges, binary options, forex trading and event contracts.

Only the gambling industry would lay thousands of workers off, replace them with AI and argue this is why the sector should be taxed LESS — totally detached from the real world. What’s the point of a legal gambling industry that doesn’t create jobs, pay enough tax or reduce harm?

It's time to raise taxes on harmful gambling machines.
Today, 90 Labour MPs have written to the Chancellor, calling for an increase in Machine Games Duty for harmful high-stakes gambling machines.
