Block Tipico on iPhone

What Fold'em covers, layer by layer

One app and two sites, 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 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 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 Tipico 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 Tipico 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

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. It does not cover any Tipico 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.
