Barclays Introduces Gambling Block App

UK bank Barclays has announced a new gambling-block app for its online platforms. The feature will allow customers to turn-off transactions with all gambling-related properties including retail bookmakers, casinos, racetracks, lottery and online gambling sites. The gambling-block feature has been co-developed with citizen financial advisory the Money Advice Trust, and seeks to bring greater control and spending safeguards to Barclays customers.
