Hello everyone. Joined today. I've had terrible problems with binge gambling for 20 years and finally decided enough is enough. I'm after some advice as to which internet blocking software users have found to be the best. Thanks in advance.
I used K9 and I have now been nearly 3 years clean from gambling. http://www1.k9webprotection.com/
Not sure about mobile phone blocking sites, anyone else know any?
Also congrats on taking your first steps to recovery, proud of you man!
Thanks for your kind words and advice. It says I can download the Д·9 app to my Android phone, however I can't find it in the play store? Anyone know? Or can I activate parenting controls from my service provider, Tesco mobile?
I think for android the best one is gamblock. I believe you can get a free trail but it does have a small monthly charge no where near what you would sown on gambling.
You would need to check with your mobile provider if they can do parental controls
Another good way to stop gambling online is to report your bank card stolen order a new one when it arrives get someone else to scratch of the 3 numbers on the back, they can make a note of it so you can ask them to make none gambling online purchases. Without them 3 numbers you ain't gambling online.

Well done, for making it here and for starting to put blocks in place. The more blocks the better.
Please do stick around though and have a good read, so much great advice to help, with keeping the momentum up and leading a normal gamble free life.
Good luck.
Thanks for your advice guys. I especially like the new bank card and scratching the numbers off. Really helpful. My brother has my card currently. I really am determined to quit forever.
Credit for bank card idea goes to Jigsaw sadly no longer a forum member.
