Block Bet UK 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 the app. Tap the pill on Lock, then Apps, then Add apps, and pick Bet UK in Apple’s picker.
What Fold’em covers, layer by layer
One site for Bet UK, 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 betuk.com 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 betuk.com 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 Bet UK domain is on it, so that layer adds nothing here. In a browser Bet UK 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.
Their own self exclusion tools
Bet UK keeps its controls in the Safer Gambling section of a signed in account. A Time-Out closes the account from 24 hours up to 6 weeks, then reopens it automatically once the period expires. Self-Exclusion runs from at least 6 months up to a maximum of 5 years, and it reaches every site LeoVegas Gaming PLC operates, which the page lists as BetMGM, BetUK, LeoVegas, Pink Casino, 21.co.uk and Slotboss.
Loss Limits cap what can be lost across a day, a week or a month; lowering one takes effect immediately, while raising one waits 24 hours before it is confirmed. A Reality Check raises a reminder every 15, 30, 60 or 90 minutes that has to be answered before play continues. The page also points at GAMSTOP, which blocks accounts across every operator licensed in Great Britain. Fold’em runs none of those. Their reach stops at the account boundary, and the reach here stops at the edge of this device.

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 Bet UK 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.
