Block Fanatics Sportsbook 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.
- Add the apps. Tap the pill on Lock, then Apps, then Add apps, and pick Fanatics Sportsbook and Fanatics Casino in Apple’s picker.
What Fold’em covers, layer by layer
Two sites for Fanatics Sportsbook, 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, did not cover sportsbook.fanatics.com and casino.fanatics.com: those names answered with a real address. Turning that setting on would not change these answers, so on this operator the web shield is not the layer that holds. The Sites page still counts its blocked sites while the setting is on, and it still covers everything else on the resolver's list.
Screen Time is handed a ten site list of its own, and sportsbook.fanatics.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 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
Every Fanatics control sits behind the login, which is the plainest sign that it binds an account and not a device. The page it publishes for Pennsylvania lists deposit limits over a day, a week or a month, a cap on any single wager, a limit on the money risked in a period, a session time limit, and a switch barring a chosen payment method. A decrease takes effect immediately; an increase waits for the old period to lapse.
A timeout can be any length between 3 and 365 days, and the account cannot be logged into until it expires. Self exclusion runs for a minimum of one year, and in some states it reaches every operator licensed there rather than Fanatics alone.
Fold’em never signs in to your Fanatics account, and it can neither open a timeout before it ends nor register a state exclusion for you. What it does is cover the Fanatics app on this iPhone once you choose it in Apple's picker, and refuse sportsbook.fanatics.com in Safari through Screen Time's list; the web shield's resolver answered both Fanatics addresses with a real address when measured, so it adds no block of its own there.

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 Fanatics Sportsbook domain it did not measure. The web shield does not cover sportsbook.fanatics.com and casino.fanatics.com, 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.
