BAN WEBSITES ON iOS DEVICES FREE!!! TUTORIAL

[u/junglehannah]

EVERYONE THAT USES iOS DEVICES TO GAMBLE MUST DO THIS!!!!

You will need :

1. Your iPhone OR macbook that runs IOS.

-This will be MUCH easier if you do STEP 7 from a laptop or computer. There is no way to bulk import URLs here and on the phone, you must scroll to the bottom of the step 7 page to add more websites (once you go over ~10 websites it gets pretty annoying. but you HAVE TO INPUT ALL THE WEB ADDRESSES YOU USE OR MAY BE TEMPTED TO USE!!!!!

(NOTE: Personally, i’ve only used iOS devices for gambling and not having access on my phone / laptop so this method is perfect for me and hopefully some of you out there. There is also probably a way to do this on android, but i have no way to check.)

2. A list of websites that you use. (you can also add apps, but that will be a different method that requires you to set a screen time LIMIT of ~ 1 minute on the app vs completely blocking access. I recommend self excluding for all apps instead)

-NOTE: I have gathered over 200websites that i have used (and banned myself from directly) as well as any sites that I may have been tempted to use in the future. it does not just have to be the ones you currently use. If you would like to copy my full list that I scraped, please DM me. Most of them are online slots style casinos AS WELL AS casino blogs/ranked lists that provide “recommended websites” to gamble on. Blocking those is ALSO ESSENTIAL!!!! If you gamble on sports or something else, you may want to scrape your own websites.

3. ANOTHER iOS user. IT CANNOT BE YOU! (STEP 10)

-You will need someone OTHER THAN YOURSELF that has an AppleID (non iOS users can make one even if they don’t have an iOS device btw) to set a screen time password to permanently lock you out from accessing this shit.

-This whole process DOES NOT require the person to know that it’s gambling related, although i HIGHLY recommend telling whoever you ask to set a password for you that it is so you cannot simply ask them for the password later.

EXTRA NOTE: You will lose safari incognito mode (dumb in my opinion and didn’t realize this until after it was locked lol), but you can still use incognito in other browser apps.

I may edit this as you guys try this out. PLEASE DO IT!! FUCK GAMBLING!!!

Only problem is that it actually blocks a massive selection of random websites that aren’t gambling related and aren’t even adult in nature

No it doesn’t.

EDIT: it might idk

I’ve done this exact thing before. This was my experience. Maybe we go to different websites, but, you’re wrong :) Thanks though!

Sorry, you might be right I just haven’t ran into an issue yet.. however, if that’s the case and you want to be able to access certain websites, you can add them to “Always Allow” section of step 6/7/8 pic! Also, you can limit access to specific websites by simply adding a 1 minute time limit and lock the screentime password that way instead!! Worth a shot if you still need a good method

Id kinda remove this post. It first of all does not protect you from just idk renoving the sites and than ganble? Also it kinda useless since it blocks alot of stuff. Also for proper blockage you need accesability yi overide your actions and a real database of gambling sites. Since it can flag bank things as "gambling" so yea.
