Block Sportium on iPhone

Updated September 2026

Fold'em's web shield blocks sportium.es, and only while its DNS setting is on. The Sportium app is not on Fold'em's guided checklist, so it is blocked only if you find it in Apple's picker and seal it. No Sportium domain is on the ten site list Fold'em hands to Screen Time, so Safari adds no block of its own.

What Fold'em covers, layer by layer

One app and 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 sportium.es 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 Sportium 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. The Sportium app is not on the guided checklist, so Fold'em does not name it for you. Search by name in Apple's picker, tick, and seal: the app shield covers the apps you picked and nothing else.

Their own self exclusion tools

Sportium publishes a safer gambling page titled Juego más seguro, under a licence it says is granted by the Spanish regulator and supervised by the Dirección General de Ordenación del Juego. The page is laid out in six numbered parts, one of which is the set of self control tools it offers, and it links straight to the deposit limits screen for the account and to the self exclusion controls inside My Account. It also offers a safer gambling and addiction prevention test as a download, and points readers to juegoresponsable.eu. The detail behind those two links sits inside a signed in account, which could not be reached from here on 2 September 2026.

Fold'em needs no account at all. It shuts the app and the site on this iPhone, and it can neither request nor cancel a Sportium exclusion.

How the web shield stops a betting site A browser asks for a betting address. The question goes to dns.foldem.app, the resolver you set once on the phone. The resolver answers 0.0.0.0, the address for nowhere, so the page never loads and the site itself is never reached. There is no tunnel and nothing of yours passes through Fold'em. Below, a second row: Screen Time's site list reaches Safari only, so Chrome, Firefox and Edge are sealed as apps instead. THE RESOLVER, FOR EVERY APP sportium.es where? 0.0.0.0 dns.foldem.app one setting Never reached The page never loads 0.0.0.0 is the address for nowhere. No tunnel. Nothing of yours passes through it. THE SITE LIST IS SAFARI ONLY Safari the list works Chrome, Firefox, Edge the list cannot reach Sealed as apps
Every lookup on the phone goes to dns.foldem.app, which answers a betting domain with 0.0.0.0, the address for nowhere, so the page never loads. There is no tunnel. Screen Time's site list reaches Safari only, so Chrome, Firefox and Edge are sealed as apps.

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 Sportium 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.
