Hello BrianC1994,

Thanks for posting on our forum and well done for acknowledging that you could do with further support.

We’re not aware of any software similar to blocking software like Gamban for consoles but it might be worth looking into the parental control software and features built into consoles. These allow people to set limits on game access and playtime.

Self exclusion methods and blocking software can be really helpful in providing some breathing space but they are often particularly successful when used in conjunction with other tools. For example, some people find bank gambling blocks and being mindful of their how time is spent can help. If you’d like to chat to us about what else might be helpful for you, you’re welcome to contact our Helpline on 0808 8020 133.

Hope you can continue posting about how you’re getting on.

All the best,

Claire

Blocking software can restrict internet access on a console by using parental controls, firewalls, or router settings. If access issues continue, also check your network status and SIM services, like your activation number.
