Hi all,
CG for around 3 years now. I only ever gamble using my iPhone and ive installed K9 to stop myself but i can still download the apps from the app store and gamble on these. Does anyone know what I can do to stop both the websites and the apps?
Thanks
Hello there,
K9 is awesome! I have had it installed for nearly two years but never really tried to play online again since then. I think it hides a lot of gambling adverts and things too!
Advice is either buy gamblock which I think is iOS compatible or just ditch your iPhone for a brick. It's great to put blocks in place and while I never gambled using my phone, I'd have seen a downgrade as a block. Food for thought there 🙂
You could also phone your phone company and put parental locks on websites. I think you can do that via options but then you need to get someone to set the code, but you can always unlock using thumbprint. I think downgrade is best option.
Good luck!
I had this problem too TB. I set my phone network to strict. It blocked this website and allowed others!! I sure did complain!
I was going to get a non internet phone but didn’t want questions to be raised and I run a side line business on Facebook. I found that under the restrictions setting on the phone you can turn off safari, downloading if apps and deleting of apps as well as other settings. This has helped me tremendously in my first week.
Iv still been able to use my iPhone, Facebook and my other favourites like Pinterest but not gd able to gamble. You have to have someone set the password though or you’ll unblock it yourself!
I wish you luck x
Thanks both. I'm in the same situation as Nat where I need Internet on phone for business reasons ill try turning off downloading of apps right now x
Tb ask someone else to do it for you, they then have the password which stoped you un doing the block. This has seriously helped me. Currently at 7 days gamble free and feel amazing xx
