Michigan Gaming Control Board has partnered with gambling blocking app Gamban in an effort to promote responsible gambling.

The initiative allows any Michigan resident to claim a Gamban license at no cost, with access ranging from one to five years.

The program does not require enrollment in a self-exclusion scheme, though individuals listed on the state’s Responsible Gaming Database or Disassociated Persons List are encouraged to participate.

Gamban’s software blocks gambling websites and applications across operating systems like Android, iOS, Windows, and macOS. It restricts access to a broad range of gambling content, covering both licensed and unregulated sites. The Gamban app was also recently translated into Japanese.
