Block 888 on iPhone
Updated September 2026
Fold'em's web shield blocks 888sport.com, 888casino.com and 888poker.com, and only while its DNS setting is on. The 888sport, 888casino and 888poker apps are not on Fold'em's guided checklist, so they are blocked only if you find them in Apple's picker and seal them. No 888 domain is on the ten site list Fold'em hands to Screen Time, so Safari adds no block of its own.
What Fold'em covers, layer by layer
Three apps and three sites, measured on 1 September 2026 against Fold'em's guided checklist, the curated list it hands to Screen Time, and the live resolver at dns.foldem.app.
| App or site | Sealed as an app | Safari, through Screen Time | The web shield |
|---|---|---|---|
| 888sport | If you pick it | · | · |
| 888casino | If you pick it | · | · |
| 888poker | If you pick it | · | · |
| 888sport.com | · | ||
| 888casino.com | · | ||
| 888poker.com | · |
In Safari, and in the app
Every name this phone looks up goes to dns.foldem.app for as long as the web shield's DNS setting is on, and that answer reaches every app on the phone rather than Safari alone. On 1 September 2026 it answered 888sport.com, 888casino.com and 888poker.com with 0.0.0.0, the address for nowhere, so those pages never load in Safari, in Chrome, in Firefox or inside any other app on this phone. Switch the DNS setting off and every answer here is a real address again, so the setting is half of what makes this true. The Shield tab's web tile reads On while it is on.
The list Fold'em hands to Screen Time is ten domains long and no 888 domain is on it, so that layer adds nothing here. In a browser this operator is covered by the web shield above, and by nothing else.
Fold'em's own block screen is a third thing and it is neither of the first two: it lands over an app you sealed and over a website you added yourself in the picker, and over nothing else. The 888sport, 888casino and 888poker apps are not on the guided checklist, so Fold'em does not name them for you. Search by name in Apple's picker, tick, and seal: the app shield covers the apps you picked and nothing else.
Their own self exclusion tools
888 sets deposit limits through the cashier or through its Member Support team on live chat, and a limit set on one of its sites covers that account alone unless you ask for it across all of them. A Take a Break suspends an account for one day, two days, seven days, fourteen days, one month or six weeks, and it too applies to the one brand you asked about.
Self exclusion is offered from six months upward, is irrevocable once running, and the page warns the request itself can take up to 72 hours to apply. The same page states that if you have installed one of its apps and accepted push notifications, self exclusion will not stop those notifications reaching you, and that the only way to prevent them is to change the settings on the device itself. That names the boundary in the operator's own words. Fold'em works on the side of it they say they cannot reach.

What this does not do
Fold'em runs on this iPhone and nowhere else. It does not reach a second phone, a laptop, a shop or cash, and it cannot stop an account being opened. It does not cover any 888 domain this measurement never asked about, and it does not seal an app you never picked: an app filed outside the Games category is covered only by being on your own list. The resolver's list is compiled from public gambling lists that change, so 1 September 2026 is the bound on every answer on this page.
