Block gambling on iPhone
OFFBET is coming to iPhone — 390,000+ betting sites and casino apps blocked on-device, across Safari, every browser and every app. And because iPhone works differently, the real lock is a Screen Time passcode held by your Companion — so you can't cave during a craving. Free forever.

A lock two people hold
On iPhone, Apple lets anyone switch a VPN off in Settings — so a code inside the app alone wouldn't really stop you in a weak moment. OFFBET does something sturdier: it uses Apple's own Screen Time lock and hands the key to someone you trust. You set the intention; they hold the key. That's the whole idea.
Install OFFBET, choose the person you trust, and turn protection on. Gambling is blocked across your whole iPhone — and the Screen Time key is created for you and given to them, so you never see it yourself.
They quietly hold the key. Deleting OFFBET, switching the shields off or installing a gambling app all need them — so a craving can't undo your decision on its own.
You can always stop — it just takes a 24-hour pause and your Companion's OK, so the choice is a calm one, never impulsive. And if the app is ever removed or goes quiet, your Companion is told.
How OFFBET will block gambling on iPhone
On-device filtering
OFFBET's Network Extension runs a local DNS filter right on your iPhone — gambling domains are dropped before any page loads, across Safari, every browser and every app. Nothing leaves the device.
Screen Time enforcement
Using Apple's Screen Time (FamilyControls), OFFBET blocks gambling apps, their App Store installs, and stops OFFBET itself from being deleted — at the OS level, not just in-app.
Your Companion holds the key
On iPhone the OS owns the switch, so the real lock is a Screen Time passcode — generated by OFFBET and held by your Companion, never shown to you. You can't quietly disable it during a craving.

iPhone gambling-blocker FAQ
Yes — Essential will be free forever on the App Store, worldwide. No card, no email gate, no trial, no in-app purchases. Recovery tools shouldn't have a paywall.
No measurable impact. The blocklist is matched locally against your DNS queries — microseconds per lookup. OFFBET doesn't proxy your traffic, decrypt anything, or sit inside your browser.
OFFBET detects both. A third-party VPN that tries to take over your traffic is intercepted; a system-wide Private DNS override (DoH/DoT to a custom resolver) is flagged as critical because it would route DNS around the local filter — so it isn't allowed to stay on.
Depends on the mode you chose. Trusted contact: ask the person who holds it. Cooldown: request recovery and the code arrives by email after your 12/24/48 h delay — the wait is the safeguard. Lifetime lock: by design no code is ever sent.
No — OFFBET only blocks gambling. Every other app on your iPhone keeps working exactly as before; OFFBET automatically leaves them untouched.
No. OFFBET re-arms within seconds of boot. If your manufacturer offers an “extreme” power-saver that revokes permissions, the setup wizard surfaces the exact rule so the watcher survives aggressive battery savings.
