Problems which may leave you financially unstable could include a serious illness, mental health challenges, excessive gambling or the loss of a loved one. At Lloyds, we can often help or point you towards advice and support to get you back on track. If any of these are affecting you let us know as soon as possible. We are here to help.

1. Just as with Halifax, Lloyds customers can claim 3 months free of the Gamban service, to help block gambling transactions across all installed devices. After this, the customer would be required to pay for the subscription should they wish to carry on using the Gamban service.
2. Adding a gambling restriction lets you block transactions made to gambling related merchants, for example casinos and online betting companies, and recurring transactions such as The Postcode Lottery. Restrictions are applied individually to cards held in your name and not on behalf of any other party.

Lloyds Gambling Block Software

Lloyds Banking Group has announced a partnership with Gamban, providing customers of Lloyds, Bank of Scotland and Halifax with access to its gambling blocking program.

The software, designed to offer protection across iOS, Android, Windows and MacOS devices from thousands of gambling sites and applications, will remain in use after a successful initial integration towards the end of January this year.

Jack Symons, founder of Gamban, stated: “It’s very positive to see forward-thinking banking institutions such as Lloyds Banking Group rise to the challenge of protecting vulnerable customers from gambling addiction through barriers such as spend control and collaboration with market-leading gambling-blocking technology, Gamban.”

The collaboration further pushes Lloyds’ new safer gambling identity following the firm’s ‘Gambling Transaction Freezes’ add-on, providing an additional layer of protection on the company’s mobile banking app from potential gambling harm

Gamban’s system, expected to be used for punters who suffer from gambling problems, blocks betting sites on a variety of platforms such as Facebook and the internet, whilst also offering on-demand live technical support.

Elyn Corfield,managing director of consumer finance at Lloyds Banking Group,concluded: “We know that gambling related harm can have serious and long term impacts on our customers and we are committed to making sure they can easily access a wide range of support.

“In addition to our card controls that allow the freezing of gambling transactions we are delighted to have developed a pilot with Gamban offering our customers three months free access to their software, providing another level of protection.”

The banking group stresses that it has been working closely with experts in the field of gambling support to ensure that customers have easy access to a wide range of help and support options.

Gamban confirmed integration to Lloyds Banking Group platform had already been completed, and said demand for the product was high with a “significant number” of users have already signed up for the service.

Lloyds’s Group customers, which include Bank of Scotland and Halifax as well as Lloyds bank, have access to the Gamban software as well as the company’s own ‘Lloyds Banking Group Gambling Transaction Freezes’. Customers can access their mobile banking app and totally prohibit gambling or set maximum monthly amounts if they wish to control their spending.

The founder of Gamban, Jack Symons, paid tribute to the banking giant for having the foresight to enter into an agreement that can protect vulnerable customers. He said:

It’s very positive to see forward-thinking banking institutions such as Lloyds Banking Group rise to the challenge of protecting vulnerable customers from gambling addiction through barriers such as spend control and collaboration with market-leading gambling-blocking technology, Gamban.– Jack Symons, Gamban founder.

In a statement on the agreement, Elyn Corfield, Managing Director, Consumer Finance, Lloyds Banking Group said the bank understood that gambling-related harm can have serious and long-term impacts on their customers and was committed to enabling a range of support measures to help them. Corfield said the partnership with Gamban, which would give customers three months free access to the software, would complement the company’s own harm prevention measures.

Gamban, who is based in Southampton, has enjoyed huge success with their software that can be used on various operating systems as well as mobile devices. The software has been used in GambleAware’s suite of treatment tools since October 2018.

The banking sector, like the gambling sector, has been increasingly subject to regulatory and public pressure to increase social responsibility efforts. Banks are increasingly expected to show a duty of care towards vulnerable customers. Stakeholders in both industries have been encouraged by regulators to work together to find solutions.

Collaboration between banks and gambling companies may become much more common if affordability checks are introduced. Mentioned in the All-Party Group on Gambling Related Harm interim report, the Group said that improved affordability checks are urgently needed.

The Group said there are no stake and spend limits for players when gambling online and added that it is simply not good enough for the online operators to say they are ‘developing affordability checks’.

The reportsaid operators should have a clear understanding of what is affordable to online users and this should be calculated on a proportion of a gambler’s income, something the operators would need help from financial institutions to set this limit.
