Block bet365 on iPhone
Updated September 2026
Fold'em's web shield blocks bet365.com, bet365.ca and bet365.es, and only while its DNS setting is on. The bet365 app is on Fold'em's guided checklist, so sealing it puts the block screen over every open. Screen Time also refuses bet365.com inside Safari, from the ten site list Fold'em hands it, and that one holds with the DNS setting off.
What Fold'em covers, layer by layer
One app and four 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| bet365 | On the checklist | · | · |
| bet365.com | · | ||
| bet365.com.au | · | ||
| bet365.ca | · | ||
| bet365.es | · |
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 bet365.com, bet365.ca and bet365.es 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. It did not cover bet365.com.au that day: that name answered with a real address. 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.
Screen Time is handed a ten site list of its own, and bet365.com is on it. That is a different layer with a different picture: it reaches Safari and no other browser, and what Safari puts on the screen is Apple's own restricted site page rather than Fold'em's block screen.
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 bet365 app is on the guided checklist Fold'em's setup walks you through, so it is named for you: tick, seal, and the block screen is what opening it gets from then on.
Their own self exclusion tools
GAMSTOP's list of participating companies, updated the day it was read here, carries bet365 twice: once as Hillside (UK Gaming) ENC and once as Hillside (UK Sports) ENC. Both halves of the brand sit inside the scheme.
GAMSTOP is the national online self exclusion scheme for Great Britain. Registering is free, it blocks your access to accounts on the gambling websites and apps of every company on that list, you choose a length from 6 months up to 5 years, and you cannot cancel it while it runs.
bet365's own account tools are not described on this page, because its site refused every request from this machine on 2 September 2026.
A GAMSTOP registration reaches accounts across a whole industry and stops at the account. Fold'em stops this phone from reaching the site at all, so neither one is a substitute for the other.

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 bet365 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 web shield does not cover bet365.com.au, which answered with a real address on 1 September 2026. 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.
