US App Store ratings and Gamban's own site wording, August 2026. Gamban covers desktop and we do not, so if you gamble on a laptop, use theirs. Gamban is also free in the UK through TalkBanStop.
What you get instead
- Sponsor mode. A friend is emailed if you try to turn the block off, delete the app, or remove them. They need no app.
- 470,000+ sites, rebuilt daily, plus any site or app you add yourself.
- No support queue. The person who can unlock it is someone who knows you.
