Block BC.Game on iPhone

What Fold'em covers, layer by layer

One site, 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.

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 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 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 BC.Game 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. This measurement names no BC.Game app on the App Store. If one is on your phone you can still seal it, because the picker reaches any installed app, and the Games category shield catches a new install the App Store files under Games.

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. It does not cover any BC.Game 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.
