Block Ladbrokes 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 app. Tap the pill on Lock, then Apps, then Add apps, and pick Ladbrokes in Apple’s picker.
What Fold’em covers, layer by layer
Four sites, 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 ladbrokes.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 ladbrokes.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 Ladbrokes domain is on it, so that layer adds nothing here. In a browser Ladbrokes 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 page also covers Coral and Ladbrokes Australia, part of the same brand. Their apps and their sites are rows in the table above, measured the same day and by the same three layers.
Their own self exclusion tools
Ladbrokes is on the Gamstop register, listed under LC International Limited beside Coral and the other brands that company runs. Gamstop's own pages state what that means: registering blocks you from signing up for or using an online account with any gambling company licensed in Great Britain, for a length you choose from 6 months up to 5 years, and the registration cannot be cancelled while it runs.
Ladbrokes' own safer gambling page refused every connection from this machine on 2 September 2026, so nothing about the limits inside a Ladbrokes account is claimed here.
The shape can still be stated, and it is the point. Gamstop works from a register of people and asks operators to check it. Fold’em works from one iPhone and asks nobody, so a Gamstop registration and a Fold’em seal cover different ground and neither ends the other.

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 Ladbrokes 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.
