Block BetOnline 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 betonline.ag 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 BetOnline 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 BetOnline 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

As their responsible gaming page read on 7 November 2020, BetOnline offered two steps rather than a scale of durations. The lighter one was a break: they closed the account on request, left any ungraded bets running and the balance untouched, and reopened it when the customer got back in touch. The heavier one was self exclusion, asked for through the Player Services team, after which the account could not be reached and the company said it would take reasonable measures to stop another being opened.

During an exclusion marketing stopped, outstanding bets were graded when their events finished, and winnings could be withdrawn but not staked again. The page named no deposit limit, no loss limit and no fixed length for either step, and it pointed at Gamblers Anonymous and Gambling Therapy for support. Fold'em fixes none of that. Their step needs a message to Player Services first; this one is already running on the phone.

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 BetOnline 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.
