Block BetUS on iPhone

Updated September 2026

Fold'em's web shield blocks betus.com.pa, and only while its DNS setting is on. This measurement names no BetUS app on the App Store, and an app is blocked only if you picked it. No BetUS domain is on the ten site list Fold'em hands to Screen Time, so Safari adds no block of its own.

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 betus.com.pa 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 BetUS 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 BetUS 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

BetUS lists two controls, and both are worked through its support line rather than through a switch on the page itself. A deposit limit caps what can be paid in over a day, a week or a month, and the button the page offers for it is a call to support. Self exclusion blocks access to the account either temporarily or permanently, and it is asked for the same way.

The questions and answers lower down add two more facts. A self exclusion period cannot be reversed once it is set, and the tools themselves live in the account settings. No cool off window, wagering cap or session cap is named anywhere on the page. Fold'em asks for no phone call and can reverse nothing on their side of the line. Their block ends one account; this one ends what this phone will load.

How the web shield stops a betting site A browser asks for a betting address. The question goes to dns.foldem.app, the resolver you set once on the phone. The resolver answers 0.0.0.0, the address for nowhere, so the page never loads and the site itself is never reached. There is no tunnel and nothing of yours passes through Fold'em. Below, a second row: Screen Time's site list reaches Safari only, so Chrome, Firefox and Edge are sealed as apps instead. THE RESOLVER, FOR EVERY APP betus.com.pa where? 0.0.0.0 dns.foldem.app one setting Never reached The page never loads 0.0.0.0 is the address for nowhere. No tunnel. Nothing of yours passes through it. THE SITE LIST IS SAFARI ONLY Safari the list works Chrome, Firefox, Edge the list cannot reach Sealed as apps
Every lookup on the phone goes to dns.foldem.app, which answers a betting domain with 0.0.0.0, the address for nowhere, so the page never loads. There is no tunnel. Screen Time's site list reaches Safari only, so Chrome, Firefox and Edge are sealed as apps.

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 BetUS 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.
