Blocking software
Blocking software is a type of computer programme or app that stops you looking at specific websites or services. Many people tell us blocking software is a useful tool if they find it hard to control their gambling. There are a range of products available, including:
- Gamban
- Gamblock
- BetBlocker
- Netnanny (general blocking software)
Some of these are free, some might ask you to pay.
Self-exclusion
In many jurisdictions, you can ask a business to exclude you from gambling with them for a set length of time. This is called self-exclusion and means you will be refused service from these venues and websites.
In some jurisdictions there are also schemes where you can register in one place to be excluded from multiple licensed gambling businesses. Check the website of your local or national gambling regulator to find out how self-exclusion works in your jurisdiction.
