The purpose of the project is to work on psychoeducation and safety of players, promoting the balance between diversity and responsibility through educational and accessible content.
Calumby's short inserts have been made about the need to make people aware of the importance of managing their emotions, establishing safe boundaries and adopting responsible practices when using the platform.
Marjorry Calumby specializes in CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) and, in her videos, addresses important topics and practical, evidence-based strategies for better care of individuals who enjoy iGaming, focusing on users' mental health, emotional well-being, and overall wellness.
“Psychology plays a fundamental role in the betting universe, as it helps to understand and manage the emotional and behavioral factors that influence bettors,” explains the psychologist.
“Through psychoeducational interventions, such as those we are implementing on BETesporte's Instagram, it is possible to make players aware of the importance of reconfirming their limits, also avoiding compulsive behaviors and maintaining emotional balance while they are committed,” she adds.
One of the main commitments of BETesporte with this project is to help identify the symptoms of problems related to the game, such as, for example, stress, anxiety or financial difficulties due to uncontrolled events. In return, it also offers support for users to develop higher and more responsible strategies.
“The objective, in reality, is to transform these bets into a safe entertainment activity, minimizing risks and promoting the best mental state of two players. A demonstration indicates that the psychologist can contact the user, provide support and direct them to specialized care,” explains Vinicius Nogueira, CEO of BETesporte.
In addition to detailing how treatment can be useful to recover someone who has difficulty dealing with these problems, Marjorry Calumby reveals that it is also possible to prevent people from cheating in a more advanced stage. For a psychologist, even, it is ideal to take measures beforehand to control the situation from the first adversities.
“Avoid checking a dependency status in sports activities that begin with the adoption of responsible practices from the beginning. “It is important to establish clear time and money limits for betting, to avoid overpassing them in any circumstances that arise, to keep the focus on betting as a form of entertainment and not as a way to earn money,” says Marjorry.
"If bettors notice difficulty in controlling these impulses and emotions, it is crucial to seek professional guidance at the first signs to prevent the problem from escalating to a more serious stage. I always say that prevention is the best approach to care for the mental and emotional health of sports bettors," she concludes.
