Block Svenska Spel 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 Svenska Spel Sport & Casino in Apple’s picker.
What Fold’em covers, layer by layer
One site for Svenska Spel, 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 svenskaspel.se 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 svenskaspel.se 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 Svenska Spel domain is on it, so that layer adds nothing here. In a browser Svenska Spel 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
Svenska Spel gives every customer a personal play limit from the moment they start, and its own page states that players aged 18 and 19 cannot hold one higher than 1 000 kronor a month. The same page describes restrictions it applies itself when its monitoring reads rising risk, such as a cap on the number of deposits in a day or on the monthly amount played for, and a call from trained staff.
The national pause is Spelpaus.se, confirmed with an electronic identity against the Swedish gambling authority. You choose 10 days, 1 month, 3 months, 6 months, or until further notice with a minimum of 12 months, it cannot be regretted or ended early, and it covers every game requiring registration at every company licensed in Sweden.
Fold’em holds no licence and appears on no register. It shuts the app and the site on one iPhone instead.

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 Svenska Spel 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.
