02 / THE ARCHITECTURE

How Freeroll blocks gambling on iPhone

System-level app shields, two layers of web protection, and a waiting period before an eligible unlock.

01 / APP SHIELDS

Lock the apps you reach for.

Put Apple’s Screen Time shield over the sportsbook, daily fantasy, and casino apps you select.

02 / BROWSER FILTERS

Carry the block beyond Safari.

Add up to 490 priority gambling sites through iOS web restrictions, in browsers where iOS applies them.

03 / SAFARI CONTENT BLOCKER

Block 7,000 gambling domains in Safari.

Cover sportsbooks, offshore casinos, and crypto gambling sites with rules Safari runs on your iPhone.

04 / UNLOCK COOLDOWN

Give the impulse time to pass.

Wait out a cooldown before any unlock. Anything that weakens protection waits 48 hours, or needs a trusted partner’s PIN.

05 / GAME-TIME SHIELD

Set stronger blocks for game time.

Schedule presets or custom windows for game nights, payday, and late nights. Active windows end open unlocks and double the cooldown, and Quit mode pauses new unlocks. In the app, it’s under Risky times.

06 / DAMAGE CONTROL

Stop one bet from becoming two.

After a slip, tap I just placed a bet to trigger a lockdown that ends any open unlock and cancels pending requests. For 24 hours, Quit mode pauses unlocks and Control mode doubles the cooldown.

04 / FAQ

iPhone gambling blocker questions

How does Freeroll block gambling on iPhone without a VPN?

Freeroll uses FamilyControls to let you choose apps and ManagedSettings to apply Apple’s Screen Time shields and website restrictions. The optional Safari content blocker runs separately in WebKit and evaluates its rules locally.

Can Freeroll block US sportsbooks and daily fantasy apps?

You can shield installed apps you select in Apple’s Screen Time picker. The Safari list includes DraftKings (draftkings.com), FanDuel (fanduel.com), BetMGM (betmgm.com), Caesars (caesarssportsbook.com), bet365 (bet365.com), PrizePicks (prizepicks.com), and Underdog Fantasy (underdogfantasy.com). Enable the Safari extension to apply that list.

Does Freeroll block Canadian sportsbooks like PlayAlberta and PROLINE?

Yes. The Safari list includes playalberta.ca, proline.ca, betmgm.ca, and bet365.ca. You can also shield installed betting apps, such as theScore Bet, DraftKings or FanDuel, by selecting them in Apple’s picker. See our Ontario and Alberta guides.

Does Freeroll block gambling sites in Safari and Chrome?

Safari has its own list of 7,000 gambling domain roots. Freeroll also sets a separate iOS web filter of up to 490 priority roots when expanded coverage is on. That filter can apply in other browsers such as Chrome, but coverage outside Safari varies by browser and iOS version.

Can Freeroll block prediction markets and social sportsbooks on iPhone?

The shipped Safari list includes Polymarket (polymarket.com), Kalshi (kalshi.com), Fliff (getfliff.com and fliff.com), Novig (novig.us), and PrizePicks (prizepicks.com). These rules help close modern betting loopholes, including prediction markets and sweepstakes sportsbooks. Enable the Safari extension to use the list.

Can Freeroll block Stake and Roobet after I self-exclude?

The Safari list includes stake.com, stake.us, roobet.com, and roobet.games. Self-exclusion programs such as Ontario’s BetGuard and Alberta’s AGLC program apply to regulated operators. Self-exclusion does not install a block on your iPhone or automatically cover offshore sites or apps outside the program. Freeroll adds device-level protection alongside self-exclusion.

How do Freeroll’s unlock cooldown and Partner PIN work?

With timed unlock on, request access in Protect and wait out the cooldown (30 minutes by default). When it ends, confirm the unlock to open a 15-minute access window. Anything that weakens protection, such as a shorter cooldown or turning blocks off, waits 48 hours and can be cancelled any time. If you set a Partner PIN, your partner can approve those changes straight away. Without the PIN, they wait 72 hours.

Does Freeroll collect my browsing history or require an account?

Freeroll requires no account, and it does not receive your browsing history or upload cloud browsing logs. Blocking rules and financial inputs stay on your iPhone. Apple handles purchases.

What is Maximum Lockdown?

Maximum Lockdown is optional and off by default. While it’s on, you can’t delete any app from your iPhone, Freeroll included, so your blocks can’t be wiped on impulse. Turning it off takes 48 hours (72 hours with a Partner PIN set, or straight away with that PIN). If your subscription ends, you can turn it off straight away.

Does Freeroll change my iPhone’s date and time settings?

While blocks are on, your iPhone’s date and time stay on Set Automatically, so the clock can’t be moved forward to skip a wait. The setting is released when blocks are turned off.

What happens if my subscription ends?

The urge reset, the after-a-bet tools, and the helplines stay free. iOS keeps your blocks in place, so Manage my blocks on the paywall lets you turn them off without subscribing, through the same 48-hour cool-off. Maximum Lockdown can be turned off straight away.

Will Freeroll affect battery life or CarPlay?

Freeroll does not run a VPN tunnel, so it avoids the overhead and connection conflicts associated with running one. Blocking uses Apple’s on-device frameworks. Battery use varies by device and activity.

Where can I get Freeroll for iPhone?

Use the Request iPhone access button to email Freeroll for an invite. Planned US pricing is $44.99 annually or $12.99 monthly. Apple shows final local pricing and trial eligibility before purchase.
