BETesporte implemented a new initiative to educate its users about Responsible Gaming and the precautions that need to be taken.
This is a framework presented by clinical and organizational psychologist Marjorry Calumby, who in each episode addresses a series of influential topics on the subject. The content is weekly and airs on the company‘s Instagram profile.
In this way, the proposal is to work on psychoeducation and the safety of gamblers, promoting a balance between fun and responsibility through educational and accessible content.
Thus, short insertions are made of Calumby talking about the need to make people aware of the importance of managing their emotions.
Specialist
Marjorry specializes in CBT (cognitive behavioral therapy). In the videos, he addresses important topics and practical, evidence-based strategies for the best care of people who have fun with iGaming, with a focus on the mental and emotional health and well-being of users.
“Psychology plays a fundamental role in the world of betting, as it helps to understand and manage the emotional and behavioral factors that influence bettors”, he explained.
“Through psychoeducational interventions, like the ones we are implementing on BETesporte’s Instagram, it is possible to raise awareness among players about the importance of recognizing their limits, also avoiding compulsive behaviors and maintaining emotional balance while they bet”, explained the psychologist.
BeTesporte wants to help identify problems
One of BETesporte’s main commitments to this project is to help identify signs of gambling-related problems. On the other hand, it also offers support for users to develop higher and more responsible strategies.
“The objective, in reality, is to transform betting into a safe entertainment activity. Minimizing risks and promoting the mental well-being of players”, highlighted Vinicius Nogueira, CEO of BETesporte.
“A demonstration of this is that the psychologist herself can contact the user, provide reception and direct them to specialized care”, he added.
In addition to detailing how treatment can be carried out to recover someone who is having difficulty dealing with these problems, Marjorry Calumby revealed that it is also possible to prevent the person from reaching such an advanced stage.
According to the psychologist, the ideal is to take measures in advance to control the situation from the first adversities.
“It is important to establish clear limits on time and money for betting. Therefore, keep the focus on betting as a form of entertainment and not as a way to make money”, said Marjorry.
“I always say that prevention is always the best way to take care of the mental and emotional health of sports bettors,” he added.
