Block Sky Bet 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 apps. Tap the pill on Lock, then Apps, then Add apps, and pick Sky Bet and Sky Vegas in Apple’s picker.
What Fold’em covers, layer by layer
Two sites for Sky Bet, 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 skybet.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 skybet.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 Sky Bet domain is on it, so that layer adds nothing here. In a browser Sky Bet 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.
Their own self exclusion tools
Sky Bet publishes these tools as Sky Betting & Gaming, covering Sky Bet, Sky Vegas, Sky Casino, Sky Bingo and Sky Poker together. My Profit and Loss reports what a chosen period won or lost. Deposit limits are net, so withdrawals count against deposits; a decrease lands at once while an increase or a removal waits out a cooling off period the site states when you ask for it. A Cool Off period runs from one day up to 30 days and ends without anyone being contacted. Self Exclusion blocks the account across all of those products for six months up to five years or permanently, and the page names GAMSTOP for participating companies licensed in Great Britain.
The same page recommends website filtering and blocking software for the device. Fold’em sits on that side of the line: their tools end a login, and Fold’em holds the app and the site shut on this iPhone.

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 Sky Bet 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.
