Online gambling blocking software is to be implemented for the first time, in Nova Scotia, where there is a high instance of teenage online gambling, with youngsters gambling around three times more often than their adult counterparts. It is InternetSafety.com who are aparrently powering the Nova Scotia Gaming Corporation’s (NSGC’s) new software “BetStopper”, which was introduced at last weekend’s annual “We Love Our Children” Expo in Nova Scotia.
Marie Mullally, President and CEO of NSGC says of the decision;
“We have a long-standing commitment to building the most responsible gambling industry in the world. As part of that effort, we decided to equip families with free software to thwart attempts by underage children to reach online gambling sites. To do that, we needed a partner with proven web filtering expertise. The BetStopper program that InternetSafety.com developed with us will be a cornerstone of our social responsibility platform moving forward.”
(For any of you out there who weren’t exactly sure (or sure at all!) where on planet Earth Nova Scotia was, it’s the second smallest province in southeastern Canada! Pub trivia also tells me that it has just under a million inhabitants and Nova Scotia is Latin for “New Scotland”… So, there you go!!)
