Financial technology startup EDGE Boost has announced a strategic partnership with Birches Health, a behavioral healthcare organization specializing in gambling disorder prevention and treatment. The collaboration aims to integrate comprehensive responsible gaming resources directly into the EDGE Boost platform.
The partnership will enable EDGE Boost users to access Birches Health's educational content and connect with clinicians through the app and website. By leveraging idPair technology, Birches Health will anonymize user data to support research and develop more effective responsible gaming interventions.
EDGE Boost Founder and CEO Seni Thomas emphasized the company's commitment to creating a safer gambling environment. The partnership represents a significant step toward providing users with immediate, expert resources at critical decision-making moments.
The innovative platform offers a dedicated debit card and bank account designed to help users separate gambling transactions from personal finances. By providing a clear, consolidated view of betting expenditures, EDGE Boost aims to empower users to make more informed financial decisions.
Elliott Rapaport, Founder of Birches Health, highlighted the shared vision of creating a more sustainable and responsible gaming industry in the United States. The collaboration provides users with easily accessible treatment options and educational content.
Since its launch in March, EDGE Boost has demonstrated significant growth, processing over $450 million in transactions and raising more than $17.2 million in funding. The partnership with Birches Health further solidifies the company's position as a leader in responsible gaming financial technologies.
