In today’s episode of iGaming Daily, SBC Media Manager Charlie Horner is joined by iGaming Expert Editor Joe Streeter and special guest Duncan Garvie, CEO of BetBlocker, as the trio unpack the significance of its recent OHID funding win, the future of safer gambling provision in the UK, and the wider debate around regulation, scrutiny, and industry responsibility.

Tune in to today's episode as we explore:

  • How BetBlocker secured just over £1 million in OHID funding and what was required to evidence its impact and effectiveness
  • Duncan Garvie’s reflections on his career in ADR and what led him to step away from that part of the industry
  • What changes in his day-to-day role now that he is full-time CEO of BetBlocker
  • What the new funding means for BetBlocker’s next two years of expansion and support for users
  • Whether the evolving UK safer gambling landscape can realistically replace the role previously played by GambleAware and what that means for the sector’s future
