Absolutely nothing. Ever. Gambling addiction is a serious condition and one that is usually associated with financial duress. Unlike our competitors we do not believe it is right to charge individuals who already have financial issues more to get the help they need to control their condition. We do not want to profit from those with addiction issues.

No. BetBlocker does not advertise any products or services what-so-ever. It is entirely advert free.

BetBlocker is funded by an online gambling dispute resolution service. Having managed a large volume of complaints from players related to Responsible Gambling and Self-Exclusions they have first-hand experience of the severity of gambling addiction and the damage it can cause to the lives of those afflicted and the lives of their loved ones. Knowing that the tools on the market to help vulnerable players restrict themselves from accessing online gambling are exclusively subscription based, this service has opted to take on the financial burden of the development and maintenance of BetBlocker in an effort to ensure that individuals with gambling addiction issues can take action to prevent themselves from gambling online without having to pay to do so.

You can install BetBlocker as many times, on as many devices and on as many different platforms as you like. There are no limits what-so-ever.

Yes.

National self-exclusion schemes like Gamstop and Spelpaus are great programs that any player worried about their gambling should engage with (if they or a similar program are available in your country).

However, these regulator run self-exclusion schemes only extend as far as gambling sites that are licensed in that country. With hundreds, if not thousands, of rogue gambling operators accepting players without a license that will not be covered by the national self-exclusion schemes, there are cracks in the protection being offered.

Fortunately BetBlocker does not base its restriction on any individual countries licensees. In fact we try to cover all gambling operator sites with or without a license. So even casinos not on Gamstop or Spelpaus will be restricted.

BetBlocker goes works hand in hand with national self-exclusion schemes to offer you the best possible protection for relapsing while you feel vulnerable.

No personal information is collected about our users. This service is used entirely anonymously. We do not collect email addresses, phone numbers, names or any other information that could be used to identify our users.
We understand that gambling addiction can be an embarrassing thing to confront. While we are happy to help you we do not need to know who you are.

Unfortunately there is no way to reset your password after a Forever Self-Exclusion has been activated. BetBlocker is paid for by a group that market online gambling services. It would be entirely unethical for such a group to gather contact information for users of a tool of this nature. Given that BetBlocker users are specifically looking for help to control or stop their gambling, at no point should they ever be exposed to anything that would give incentive to gamble because of their use of BetBlocker.
To allow users to reset their password we would need to gather email addresses from users. For the reasons defined above we cannot do that without being accused of using this service to create a marketing list of gamblers with addiction issues. As such there is no facility to reset your password and it is imperative you keep it safe if you are ever likely to need it.
Do remember that the only user that would need a password is a user that selects to Self-Exclude Forever and subsequently wants to lift their Self-Exclusion after 5 years or Parental Control users and those restrictions will be automatically lifted at the end of the selected exclusion period.

We’ve run some tests to see what impact BetBlocker will have on how long you can expect your battery to last while the app is active. The results are detailed below. Please keep in mind that these are very general tests to give an idea of the impact. Your experience may differ depending on other apps you have running on your phone, the make and model of your phone and the size of your battery.

Android (3000mah battery size):

1. Active mode – Our testing shows that while BetBlocker is active and the phone is being constantly used to browse the internet and play games the battery life with was 14 hours. Under the same conditions without BetBlocker active the battery life was 15 hours 30 minutes. This equates to approximately a 10% decrease in battery life.
2. Sleep mode - Our testing shows that while BetBlocker is active and the phone not being used (is on but not actively doing anything) the battery will drain in 96 hours. Under the same conditions the battery life while BetBlocker was not active was 97 hours. This equates to approximately a 1% decrease in battery life.

- How can I contact your support team?
You can email us at admin@bghac.nbomb2017.com, use the form on this page or use the ‘Contact Us’ feature in the app.

- How long will it take to receive a response?
That depends on a number of factors.
Firstly understand that BetBlocker is not a commercial tool. You’re not paying for it in any way and we do not have a source of revenue. We give this away for free because those that need it are often “cash poor”. We could choose to advertise to bring in cash, but everyone’s annoyed by ads and the chances are that anyone who would want to advertise to our userbase would be promoting products that are potentially harmful to our users. As such we do not have a ‘Customer Support Team’.
We will endeavour to respond to your request within 24 hours, but response times can vary depending on various factors, including the volumes of support requests we are receiving and the availability of a team member to respond.

- I’ve contacted support, why haven’t I received a response?
If you receive no response what-so-ever, the chances are you’ve forgotten to include an email address for us to contact you on.
If you’ve used the onsite form or the ‘Contact Us’ feature within the app and don’t provide an email address, we’ll receive your message but won’t be able to respond.
As we receive regular contacts from users simply looking to request that we add a url to the restriction list or to thank us for the app, we try our best not to gather any information on those users. That does mean however that if you need a response you need to tell us where to respond to.

- I have a technical issue, will your team remove the app for me?
With the millions of possible combinations of software and hardware that are in use today, from time to time some users will experience technical issues with BetBlocker. While we will be more than happy to have our Development Team investigate your issue and provide a solution as quickly as possible, this may take some time. We will not remove the app unless there is no other way of resolving your issue.

- I don’t want to wait for you to resolve a technical issue, why won’t you remove the app right now?
BetBlocker is a tool specifically intended to stop users that feel access to gambling services is damaging their lives’ from being able to access gambling services. For people with compulsive tendencies related to gambling being able to access online gambling services has the potential to cause extensive damage to their lives in a short space of time.
Ultimately, based on the primary function of our tool, our priority has to be restricting access to gambling services first and foremost. Does that mean that from time to time some users will be frustrated when they are impacted by a bug that takes some time for us to resolve? Yes. But we have to make a judgement as to what is the lesser evil: leaving these users frustrated while we resolve the issue or exposing them to gambling services that have the potential to cause vast damage to their lives. There's no good choice to make in these circumstances but it is better to cause some frustration than to potentially take actions that could result in someone inflicting significant damage on their life.
The severity of the user's problem isn't something that we have any scope to make an assessment of. We have to treat every user's issues as serious regardless of what they say while trying to get the service removed.
We do not like or want to cause any user frustration, but we do ask that you understand that causing frustration is the lower risk option and far preferable to someone ultimately losing money they cannot afford to lose because we tried to keep them happy in the short term rather than made the difficult choice.

BetBlocker uses a VPN to enforce your gambling restriction. While there are some intricacies in the specific set-up, for the purpose of 'local networks' your device will appear to be accessing from our VPN server. As such you will not be recognised as part of the local network and will not be able to access it.

When you set a Gambling Self-Restriction in BetBlocker the tool will automatically restrict you device from accessing any of the gambling operator URLs in our database. We update this database on a weekly basis to ensure that you are offered the maximum possible protection.

Gambling addiction is a condition that is commonly associated with an inability to control ones impulses to wager. That being the case this tool would be ineffective at preventing gambling relapses if you could disable it during a Gambling Self-Restriction. As such, once a Gambling Self-Restriction has been activated it cannot be lifted. Even uninstalling the tool or deleting the files associated with the tool will not lift the restriction.

No. Once you have activated a superwingy官网 the only way to end it is to wait until your chosen 免费ssr节点2021 period has concluded. For ethical reasons and the protection of problem gamblers our support team will not under any circumstances assist a user to disable an active Gambling Self-Restriction.

There are a wide range of Gambling Self-Restriction options available when activating a Self-Restriction. Currently we offer 24h, 2 days, 3 days, 5 days, 1 week, 2 weeks, 1 month, 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years, 5 years or forever.

Yes. At any point while you have an active Gambling Self-Restriction you can go into BetBlocker and extend the length of the Gambling Self-Restriction. This will be implemented immediately.

Yes. While setting up a Gambling Self-Restriction our full list of gambling operators will always be included (see our Parental Controls setting for options without restricting online gambling websites). However you can choose to include other sites in your restrictions.
We include an optional list of gambling information and advertisement sites that can be included in your Gambling Self-Restriction (this includes being able to exclude yourself from the service that funds BetBlocker) and allow you to include custom URLs so that you can include any site not on our list in your Gambling Self-Restriction.
Please be aware that any URL you include in your Gambling Self-Restriction will remain blocked for the entire length of the Gambling Self-Restriction. You cannot remove URLs from a wingy下载官网 once it has been activated.

This depends on the length of exclusion you select:
- If you select 24h, 2 days, 3 days, 5 days, 1 week, 2 weeks or 1 month the exclusion will be automatically lifted at the end of the period you selected.
- If you select 2 months, 3 months, 6 months, 1 year, 2 years, 3 years or 5 years the exclusion will continue indefinitely unless you specifically deactivate it. If you request to deactivate the tool it will automatically continue of 1 week. This is called a “Cooling Off Period” and is intended to ensure that you are not acting on a potentially harmful impulse. At any point during the Cooling Off Period you can extend your wingy下载官网 and the restriction will not end. If you do not extend your Gambling Self-Restriction during the Cooling Off Period the restrictions will automatically be lifted at the end of the 1 week Cooling Off Period.
- If you select Forever your wingy下载官网 will last for a minimum of 5 years. When setting up a Gambling Self-Restriction and selecting to be excluded Forever you will be required to set-up a password. At the end of the 5 year period you will only be able to lift your Gambling Self-Restriction if you can enter the password you created when setting the exclusion up. This way, if you genuinely don’t want the restriction to ever be lifted you can simply enter a non-sense password that you won’t remember. If you do look to lift this Gambling Self-Restriction after the 5 years and can enter in the correct password your exclusion will automatically continue for 1 week. This is called a “Cooling Off Period” and is intended to ensure that you are not acting on a potentially harmful impulse. At any point during the Cooling Off Period you can extend your Gambling Self-Restriction and the restriction will not end. If you do not extend your Gambling Self-Restriction during the Cooling Off Period the restrictions will automatically be lifted at the end of the 1 week Cooling Off Period.

The restrictions offered by BetBlocker represent the strongest restrictions required by a combination of the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gambling Authority:
- As required by both regulatory authorities a superwingy官网 will automatically exclude you from all properties on a license (and thousands of other operators)
- As required by the UKGC, once a Gambling Self-Restriction has been activated it cannot be lifted until the full term of the selected exclusion has been complete.
- As required by the UKGC, Gambling Self-Restriction of longer than 6 months (we actually apply this from 2 months upward) are automatically left in place at the end of the exclusion period, can only be lifted by your explicit request and a Cooling Off Period is required where a request to lift the Gambling Self-Restriction is made.
- As required by the MGA the Cooling Off Period enforced after any request to remove a Gambling Self-Restriction is a full seven days before the restrictions will be lifted.

Unfortunately no we won’t remove BetBlocker until the selected restriction has expired. While we understand that you may be frustrated if someone else has set up an exclusion on your behalf, we have no way of proving who specifically agreed to the terms of use. Where someone has set-up BetBlocker on a device we have to assume that they either are the device owner or are authorised to set-up this restriction.

Unfortunately no we won’t remove BetBlocker until the selected restriction has expired. When activating BetBlocker you both agree to terms of use explicitly stating that you will not be able to remove this block until your restriction period has concluded. This is also highlighted during the activation process. While we are happy to help resolve technical issues we will not disarm the tool unless your selected exclusion period has concluded.

Many parents today worry about the content their children can access while browsing the internet. While BetBlocker’s primary purpose is to help problem gamblers control their gambling activity we also provide a tool to help parents to control the sites that their children can access online. This tool allows parents to enter specific URLs that they do not want their children to access.

The Parental Control system is easy to use and quick to set up. Simply install BetBlocker, select Parental Controls and follow through the set-up process to decide which URLs you would like to restrict. When you activate the tool the restrictions will be put in place.

Yes. One of the options when setting up a Parental Control is whether or not to include our list of gambling operator sites. While we cannot guarantee this is absolutely exhaustive, it represents a very high proportion of the gambling operators in business today and is updated on a weekly basis.

To a limited degree yes. There are literally hundreds of thousands of websites providing information about gambling online today. It is impractical to generate or maintain a comprehensive list of all of these sites.
The alternative to generating such a list would be to use a keyword blocker – this would block any page that contains specific keywords that are commonly used on gambling related websites. This strategy would result in a large number of ‘false positive’ results, sites that are blocked without being about gambling but having used certain words that fool the keyword blocker into categorising it as a gambling site. This strategy is very intrusive and can result in a lot of high quality educational resources being inaccessible.
As such we have looked to find a middle ground. We are not using a keyword blocker but have put together a list of several hundred of the gambling information and promotion sites that occur most frequently on the first page of Google (English language) for some of the highest volume search terms.
Obviously this list is not exhaustive but we feel it will give parents a good start in preventing their children from accessing age inappropriate material.

To a limited degree yes. There are literally hundreds of thousands of pornography websites online today. It is impractical to generate or maintain a comprehensive list of all of these sites.
The alternative to generating such a list would be to use a keyword blocker – this would block any page that contains specific keywords that are commonly used on pornographic websites. This strategy would result in a large number of ‘false positive’ results, sites that are blocked without being about gambling but having used certain words that fool the keyword blocker into categorising it as a gambling site. This strategy is very intrusive and can result in a lot of high quality educational resources being inaccessible.
As such we have looked to find a middle ground. We are not using a keyword blocker but have put together a list of a few hundred of the pornography sites that occur most frequently on the first page of Google (English language) for some of the highest volume search terms. Within this particular industry a small number of sites dominate the search engine results for a large volume of search terms meaning that this list, while not infallible, will restrict many of the sites most commonly found when searching online.
Obviously this list is not exhaustive but we feel it will give parents a good start in preventing their children from accessing age inappropriate material.

Yes. When setting up a Parental Control you will be asked to create a password. Once your restriction is activated all you need to do is open the tool and enter the password to turn the restriction off. In this manner you can have your restriction in place while your children are online and turn it off when you want to browse yourself.

The BetBlocker tool is primarily intended to help problem gamblers control their addictions. Unfortunately unscrupulous marketers within the gambling industry have repeatedly targeted this group of vulnerable individuals, viewing them as ‘high value’. This type of cynical, immoral and in some instances illegal activity means that we do not gather any personal information (contact details) from the users of BetBlocker. In this manner we ensure that we cannot be accused of using BetBlocker to gather marketing lists for inappropriate activities and even if our systems were to be hacked, the attacking party cannot gain contact information for individual trying to prevent themselves from gambling.
A consequence of this however is that we cannot reset your password. Without an email address to confirm the identity of the person requesting the password reset, we could not confirm that the person who set-up the tool is the person looking to remove the restriction.
For this reason the Parental Controls require you to select a restriction length. At the end of your chosen restriction period the restrictions will be automatically lifted. This means that even if you forget your password the restrictions can still be removed by simply waiting until the restriction period has concluded.

Yes. At any point while you have an active Parental Control restriction in place you can go into BetBlocker and extend the length of the restriction. This will be implemented immediately.
