Block BC.Game with Fold’em
- Get Fold’em and finish setup. Setup asks you to turn on site blocking and to check your phone for gambling apps, and you can do either later in the Lock tab.
- Turn on site blocking. If you skipped it in setup, tap the pill on Lock, then Sites, then Set up, and Fold’em walks you through the four taps in Settings. While it is on, the Sites page counts the gambling sites blocked in every browser and app.
- Add any BC.Game app on your phone. Tap the pill on Lock, then Apps, then Add apps, and pick it in Apple’s picker.
What Fold’em covers, layer by layer
One site for BC.Game, measured on 1 September 2026 against the list Fold’em hands to Screen Time and the live resolver at dns.foldem.app.

In Safari, and in the app
On 1 September 2026 the web shield’s resolver, dns.foldem.app, answered bc.game with 0.0.0.0, the address for nowhere, so that page never loads in Safari, in Chrome, in Firefox or inside any other app on this phone. Switch the DNS setting off and every answer for bc.game is a real address again, so the setting is half of what makes this true.
The list Fold’em hands to Screen Time is ten domains long and no BC.Game domain is on it, so that layer adds nothing here. In a browser BC.Game 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 the apps you chose, over a website you added in Apple’s picker and over the Games category if you turned Games on, and a Lockdown run you start can close every app except Phone and the ones you keep. This measurement names no BC.Game app on the App Store. If one is on your phone you can still block it, because the picker reaches any installed app. Once you turn Games on, a new install the App Store files under Games is blocked too.
Their own self exclusion tools
BC.Game states its policy in a single paragraph rather than a menu of settings. Self exclusion locks the account for a minimum of 6 months and stops promotional material being sent, and it is requested by contacting the customer support team, which the page says can be reached at any time. A cooling off period of 7 days is offered beside it. The page names no deposit limit, no loss limit and no session limit, and it puts no maximum length on the exclusion.
It recommends contacting every other gambling site where you hold an account and asking to be excluded there too, and it recommends filtering software for keeping minors away from gambling pages. Fold’em is closer to that second recommendation than to the first, and it runs on a phone rather than a desktop. Their lock closes one account; the block here closes the app and the address for whoever picks the device up.

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. This page says nothing about any BC.Game domain it did not measure. 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.
