Block Tipico 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 Tipico in Apple’s picker.
What Fold’em covers, layer by layer
Two sites for Tipico, 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 tipico.de and tipico.com with 0.0.0.0, the address for nowhere, so those pages never load in Safari, in Chrome, in Firefox or inside any other app on this phone. Switch the DNS setting off and every answer for tipico.de and tipico.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 Tipico domain is on it, so that layer adds nothing here. In a browser Tipico 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
Tipico's own German site answered us with a no service page on 2 September 2026, so nothing here is taken from it. What could be read is the German regulator. Tipico Co. Limited, Tipico Games Limited and Tipico Karlsruhe Limited all appear on the whitelist of providers the GGL permits to offer online gambling in Germany. The GGL's own page on the 2021 state treaty sets out what such a provider must prove, and the list includes a deposit limit that runs across providers rather than one site, blocking options, early detection of gambling addiction, and a connection to the LUGAS supervision system.
Those duties sit on the operator and on the account. Fold’em asks no regulator and joins no register; it shuts the app and the address on the handset in front of you.

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 Tipico 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.
