Internet Filter Targets Online Gambling
The Nova Scotia Gaming Corporation (NSGC) today announed a new prevention program to limit a child’s access to online gambling. Research has shown that young people in Nova Scotia are gambling online three times more often that adults.
The fact is, youth are gambling online in increasing numbers, a reality that should not be ignored. That’s why we proactively developed this effective prevention tool. This world-first is another example of NSGC’s commitment to social responsibility. These are unregulated gambling sites where there are no guarantees of safeguards or controls to prevent access by kids. As the steward of the industry in our Province, we couldn’t sit by and let this continue,
- Marie Mullally, President and CEO of NSGC
The new software is called BetStopper and was developed through a partnership with InternetSafety.com. Technology from our award-winning Safe Eyes product was adapted to target online gambling.
The software is available for free to residents of Nova Scotia at http://www.betstopper.ca
