Can anyone please give some advice about how to block ALL online competitions. They are out of control how many there is and cannot block every one without another popping up in its place it’s ridiculous how they aren’t controlled better !!
Hello Spudy67,
Thank you for reaching out to ask this question on our Forum.
This issue may understandably cause frustration as competitions are not usually regulated in the same way as gambling but contain ‘gambling-type’ behaviours. You may try initially to unsubscribe and unfollow content with competitions to no longer be on their mailing list and change the predictive algorithm.
Please find below some recommendations on how to block, filter and reduce your exposure to different types of competitions, gambling advertising and reminders:
You could try a free ad-blocker such as Adblock Plus | The world's #1 free ad blocker or uBlock Origin - Free, open-source ad content blocker.
