Block BetRivers 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 apps. Tap the pill on Lock, then Apps, then Add apps, and pick BetRivers Sportsbook and BetRivers Casino in Apple’s picker.
What Fold’em covers, layer by layer
One site for BetRivers, 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 betrivers.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 betrivers.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 BetRivers domain is on it, so that layer adds nothing here. In a browser BetRivers 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
BetRivers publishes its responsible gaming policy through Rivers Casino, and that policy keeps its own account tools apart from the state register. On the account you can set deposit limits, spending limits and time limits, and you can suspend your own play for a designated period of at least 72 hours, which the policy names a Cool-Off Period.
Separate from the account sits the Pennsylvania Gaming Control Board self exclusion program, joined for one year, five years or lifetime. That one bars internet gambling anywhere in the Commonwealth rather than at BetRivers alone, and the policy states the election is irreversible and cannot be ended early. Coming off the list afterwards means booking an appointment on (717) 346-8300 and handing in a removal form in person.
Fold’em is neither the account tool nor the register. A cool off period decides what one account will accept; the block here decides what this phone will open.

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 BetRivers 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.
