Please attach image or video:. Frequently Asked Questions on BetBlocker. How much does BetBlocker cost? Absolutely nothing. 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. What is a BetBlocker Parental Control used for? Many parents today worry about the content their children can access while browsing the internet. This tool allows parents to enter specific URLs that they do not want their children to access.

What does a Gambling Self-Restriction in BetBlocker do? 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. Can I remove a Gambling Self-Restriction after it has started?

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. We take go to great lengths to ensure that BetBlocker is as difficult to remove as possible during a Gambling Self-Restriction and our User Support Team will not assist you in removing the tool while there is an ongoing restriction.

How does a Parental Control work? 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. If BetBlocker is free, do I have to see lots of adverts to use it? BetBlocker does not advertise any products or services what-so-ever.

It is entirely advert free. I want to restrict my device from accessing gambling operators. Can the Parental Controls do that? 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.

Who founded BetBlocker and why? Sadly a number of malicious actors within the gambling sector have falsely claimed that they established, or are in some way associated with, BetBlocker. BetBlocker was founded by Alternative Dispute Resolution ADR service ThePOGG in If you see anyone else claiming to have founded BetBlocker, the claims are false.

This service manages complaints between players and online gambling operators on behalf of a number of regulatory agencies. BetBlocker was set-up as a way of helping those players that came to the service with a responsible gambling based complaint, specifically because the ADR was uncomfortable channelling those with gambling addiction issues to fee based blocking services.

In , after seeing rapid growth in demand for the BetBlocker tool, it was concluded that it was not financially sustainable to continue to run BetBlocker as an add on to the ADR service.

At this point BetBlocker was broken off from the business and established as a charity in its own right. Since this point, BetBlocker has received its funding from donations from an array of businesses in the gambling industry.

This move has allowed for significant additional funding to be available to the project, improving both the function of the app itself and the user support available to assist those that need it. Whilst BetBlocker may now be its own legal entity, the people making the decisions are still the same people that established the service.

The Board of Trustees is made up of various team members from the ADR service. There are a number of employees working for BetBlocker now but but no person employed by the ADR service draws any income from BetBlocker.

As such the Board of Trustees who manage the service is made up of individuals giving their time freely to the project. If you need to contact the Board of Trustees you can reach Duncan Garvie at [email protected].

Support requests to this email address will not receive a response. Once you have activated a Gambling Self-Restriction the only way to end it is to wait until your chosen Gambling Self-Restriction 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.

I want to stop my child from accessing sites that provide information about or advertise gambling. Can BetBlocker do this? 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. 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. How many times can I install BetBlocker? 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. How long can I Self-Restriction for? BetBlocker offers a couple of different types restriction: a block restriction or our calendared restriction.

Our block restriction is a simple premise: You select a period of time that you would like to block for and activate your restriction.

The block is continuous for that length of time. You can select between the following lengths of time: 1 day 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 Our calendared block allows you to schedule when you would like the restriction to switch on and off.

This is useful for people who feel that gambling is problematic for them at specific times. It may be that you feel that you are prone to gambling too much at the weekends. Perhaps you would benefit from a restriction immediately after you have been paid.

Maybe holidays can result in problematic levels of gambling for you. The best times for a restriction are varied and individual to each person. BetBlocker allows you to plan in advance and put your block in place at the times you need it most. We do intend to extend the calendaring feature to allow for a restriction to be narrowed to specific hours of play, but are currently waiting on sufficient funding being received to make this upgrade.

Is it worth using BetBlocker if I'm already registered with Gamstop? 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. Can I extend my Gambling Self-Restriction?

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.

I want to stop my child from accessing sites that contain sexual content. There are literally hundreds of thousands of pornography websites online today. 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.

Can I exclude from sites other than gambling operators? This depends on the platform you use. We include an optional list of gambling information and advertisement sites that can be included in your Gambling Self-Restriction.

This will work on all platforms. If you choose the VPN version customised restrictions are not possible. 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 Gambling Self-Restriction once it has been activated. Our computer is a communal device. Can I restrict my children from accessing various URLs but still access them myself?

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. What information do you collect about users?

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. This information is used to help us raise funding potential donors often want to know how many people are using the service and address user support requests in the most efficient manner.

How do I reset my password if I forget it? Unfortunately there is no way to reset your password. We have designed this service to collect as little information about our users as possible.

That includes not collecting email addresses. As we do not collect an email address, we cannot send password reset emails. As such there is no facility to reset your password 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.
