Block Roobet 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 Roobet 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 Roobet, 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 roobet.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 roobet.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 Roobet domain is on it, so that layer adds nothing here. In a browser Roobet 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 Roobet 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
Roobet runs its self exclusion from the Responsible Gambling tab inside the account, in two steps. Step one is a cooldown of 24 hours, which can cover the casino, the sportsbook or both, and it has to finish before step two unlocks. Step two asks for the password again, then lets you choose the sections and the length, to a maximum of five years or permanently. Shutting one section leaves the rest of the site reachable, shutting all of it means you cannot log in, and a permanent choice blocks the account and any new account opened afterwards. The policy states that an exclusion will not be undone for the period you chose.
Roobet also points readers at parental control software for a device. That is the layer Fold’em works on, for the person holding the phone rather than for a child: it knows nothing about a Roobet account and can neither start nor lift one.

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 Roobet 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.
