GamblePause
Nigeria
GamblePause (officially GamblePause Initiative Africa) is a Nigerian-based nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing and reducing gambling-related harm across Africa through research, education, and comprehensive support services. Founded in 2024 by Ladipo Abiose Akolade—a former gambling addict who turned his personal recovery journey into a mission—the organization provides free, confidential counseling, self-exclusion tools, and recovery resources to individuals and families affected by problem gambling. Operating a 24/7 helpline (+234 813 232 7149) and an online assessment quiz, GamblePause works with healthcare professionals, researchers, industry stakeholders, and policymakers to develop evidence-based solutions. The charity also offers a virtual tour of its state-of-the-art rehabilitation center and runs public awareness campaigns such as "GamblePause Awareness" to promote responsible gambling. In January 2026, GamblePause was named Clarion Gaming's Safer Gambling Charity Partner, a historic milestone for an African organization. It has since expanded into Zambia through a partnership with GamAid Zambia and regularly participates in industry events such as SiGMA Africa and the iGaming AFRIKA Summit. With a growing digital footprint—over 1.9 million digital impressions—GamblePause is positioning itself as a leading pan-African voice in gambling harm prevention and recovery support.
