Block BetOnline 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 BetOnline 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 BetOnline, 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 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 for betonline.ag 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 BetOnline domain is on it, so that layer adds nothing here. In a browser BetOnline 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 BetOnline 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
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. This page says nothing about any BetOnline 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.
