A leading African gaming company, BetPawa, has teamed up with Baks-Calmare Enclave Foundation, a well-regarded mental health charity, to address problem gambling. This innovative alliance represents a major stride towards ethical gaming practices across the continent.
Founded in 2018 and endorsed by the Mental Health Authority in 2022, Baks Foundation focuses on delivering counseling and assistance programs to youths grappling with gambling dependence arising from societal and emotional challenges. BetPawa’s financial backing will be crucial in broadening the reach of these essential services.
This initiative expands upon BetPawa’s prior endeavors in fostering responsible gaming. In the previous year, the firm played a vital part in establishing a dedicated responsible gaming helpline in Ghana, furnishing it with critical information technology infrastructure.
The Head of Business Development at Baks Foundation, Kweku Asenso Brobbey, commended the partnership, remarking that “BetPawa’s dedication to aiding individuals struggling with gambling addiction is unmatched in Ghana and establishes a new benchmark for corporate citizenship within the sector.” He further highlighted the importance of this collaboration in making vital social and psychological assistance attainable for Ghanaians who might otherwise encounter financial obstacles.
This announcement comes on the heels of a recent development in May where Mindway AI and AnonyMind, two prominent player protection software providers, merged to offer strengthened support for at-risk gamblers.
This innovative collaboration seeks to pinpoint and assist individuals grappling with gambling-related difficulties and dependency through a novel and unified strategy. By linking those requiring assistance with suitable mental health professionals through the AnonyMind system, individuals will obtain individualized therapeutic strategies, or “clinical blueprints,” customized to their specific requirements and obstacles.
