Block Shuffle on iPhone

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 shuffle.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 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 Shuffle 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 Shuffle 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

Shuffle publishes the policy under Natural Nine B.V. and its Curaçao licence. Self exclusion is chosen on the Shuffle Wise dashboard for 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 6 months or permanently, and it can be pointed at casino, at sports, or at both. Picking one product leaves you able to log in without betting on it, and picking both closes the login. Every request starts with a cooldown of 24 hours, after which an email invites you to extend, and the account is unrestricted again if you do not extend within 24 hours of that email. Wager limits and loss limits are set on the same dashboard by day, week or month, and the loss limit is measured on net losses.

The policy tells readers to install software that blocks access to gambling websites. On an iPhone that is what Fold'em is, and it works whether or not a Shuffle account exists.

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 Shuffle 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.
