GAMBLINGBLOCK

Terms of Use

Effective Date: November 1, 2026

These terms apply when you use GamblingBlock, whether through our apps (GamblingBlock on iOS and Android, GamblingBlock Advanced on computer) or our website, gamblingblock.app. By using GamblingBlock, you agree to these terms. If you don't, please don't use it.

How we handle your data is explained in our privacy policy.

These terms are available in several languages. If the versions differ, the English version prevails, unless the law of your country requires otherwise.

1. Not a Medical Service

GamblingBlock is a blocking tool, not a treatment. It can help you stay away from gambling, but it doesn't replace a doctor, a therapist or a support service. If you are in crisis, call your local emergency services or a gambling helpline.

We don't provide medical advice, diagnosis or treatment, and using GamblingBlock doesn't make us your health professional. The content of our apps is general information. If you have questions about your health, please talk to a qualified professional.

2. Using GamblingBlock

  • Age. You must be at least 16 to use GamblingBlock.
  • Your account. If you create one, keep your sign-in details private. You are responsible for any activity on your account.
  • Fair use. Use GamblingBlock for yourself and within the law. Don't access it with bots or scripts, and don't try to break or misuse our services.
  • Subscription. GamblingBlock is free to download, but you need a subscription to use it (see section 5). Some features may be available for free.
  • Changes to GamblingBlock. We may modify, limit or discontinue any feature of GamblingBlock at any time. If a change significantly reduces what your subscription includes, we will let you know in advance so you can cancel it if you wish.

3. How the Protections Work

GamblingBlock blocks gambling sites and apps on your devices through several protections, namely the site blocker, the custom blocker, the uninstall blocker and, on iPhone and iPad, the advanced protection. Each one is described in our privacy policy.

  • No blocking is perfect. New gambling sites appear every day, and a VPN, another network or a change in your device's settings can get around the protections. GamblingBlock makes gambling harder to reach, but it can't guarantee to stop it completely.
  • Don't get around it. You agree not to bypass, disable or interfere with the protections outside the app, for example through your device's settings, a VPN, other software, jailbreaking or installing custom configuration profiles. We are not responsible for what happens if you do, including the protections no longer working, financial losses or other damages.

4. The Advanced Protection

The advanced protection locks the site blocker on your iPhone or iPad from a computer, using GamblingBlock Advanced. Your device then becomes supervised, and this is visible in its settings.

  • Only your own device. Never lock someone else's device, or a device without its user knowing. If we notice misuse, we may unlock the devices concerned and suspend the account.
  • Follow every step. Back up your device, turn off what GamblingBlock Advanced asks you to (such as Find My or Private Relay), and keep the device plugged in until the operation is finished. We are not responsible for lost data, or for a device that needs to be restored, if you skip or interrupt these steps.
  • Unlocking. A device can only be unlocked with a code from your account. While your subscription is active, you need to ask our support to allow it. Once your subscription ends, the filter stops and you can unlock your device yourself.
  • Number of devices. There is a limit to how many devices you can lock with one account. The app shows it.
  • No guarantee. This method is not provided by Apple. An iOS update could stop it from working, and some devices or iOS versions are not supported.

5. Subscription

  • Payment. You subscribe and pay through the App Store or Google Play, under their rules. The price, including taxes, is shown before you confirm.
  • Renewal. Your subscription renews automatically for the same period unless you cancel it, in your Apple or Google account, at least 24 hours before it ends. Deleting the app doesn't cancel it.
  • Free trial. We sometimes offer a free trial. If you start one, you will be charged when it ends unless you cancel beforehand. We may limit free trials to one per person.
  • Price changes. We may change our prices. Apple or Google will let you know before a new price applies, and you can cancel if you don't agree.
  • End of subscription. Your access ends with the period you paid for, and the protections stop, including the advanced protection's filter (see section 4).
  • Refunds. Your payment goes to Apple or Google, not to us, so we can't refund it ourselves. Any refund, including under a right of withdrawal, has to be requested from Apple or Google, who decide according to their own rules. Before you do, we encourage you to contact us with any concern about your subscription, as we will do our best to help. This doesn't affect the rights you have under the law.

6. Questions in the FAQ

When you ask a question in the FAQ, an AI looks for the article of our FAQ that best matches it and shows it to you. The AI doesn't write the answer. Our articles are written by us.

  • It may pick the wrong article or find none that fits. If the article doesn't answer your question, please contact our support.
  • Our articles are general information. They are not medical, legal or financial advice, and don't replace professional support with gambling. In an emergency, call your local emergency services.
  • Don't include sensitive information in your questions. How we handle them is explained in our privacy policy.

7. Intellectual Property

All intellectual property rights related to GamblingBlock, including but not limited to trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets and any other proprietary rights, belong to MOXYZ STUDIO or its licensors.

You are granted a limited, non-exclusive and non-transferable license to use GamblingBlock for personal, non-commercial purposes. You may not reproduce, modify, distribute, display or create derivative works of GamblingBlock or its content without our prior written consent.

8. Limitation of Liability

  • No guarantee. We do our best to keep GamblingBlock working, but we can't guarantee that it will always be available, error-free or able to block every gambling site or app.
  • Gambling losses. We are not liable for any money lost through gambling, even if GamblingBlock fails to block a gambling site or app, or to prevent its own removal.
  • Indirect damages. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for indirect damages arising from the use of GamblingBlock or the inability to use it, such as loss of data, profit or opportunity.
  • Third-party sites. GamblingBlock may link to other websites or services. We are not responsible for their availability or content, and you use them at your own risk.
  • Liability cap. To the extent permitted by law, our total liability for any claim related to GamblingBlock or these terms is limited to the greater of the amount you paid for GamblingBlock in the 12 months before the event, or €50.

None of this limits our liability where the law doesn't allow it, in particular for death or personal injury caused by our negligence, or for gross negligence or wilful misconduct.

If you are a consumer, you also keep every right your local law gives you that can't be waived. In the European Union, for example, that includes the legal guarantee of conformity for digital content and services, for as long as the service is provided. In Brazil, Canada, the United States and other countries, it includes the consumer rights and implied warranties that local law doesn't let us exclude.

9. Changes to These Terms

We may update these terms from time to time to reflect changes in GamblingBlock, our practices or the law. When we do, we will update the effective date at the top of this page. For significant changes, we will notify you in our apps or by e-mail before they apply. If you don't agree with them, you can stop using GamblingBlock and cancel your subscription. If you keep using it, you accept the new terms.

10. General Provisions

  • Entire agreement. These terms and our privacy policy form the entire agreement between you and MOXYZ STUDIO about GamblingBlock, and replace any earlier agreement.
  • Severability. If any part of these terms is found invalid or unenforceable, the rest remains valid to the fullest extent permitted by law.
  • App store terms. If you downloaded our app from the App Store or Google Play, their terms apply as well, and they take priority where the two conflict. Apple and Google are not parties to these terms and are not responsible for GamblingBlock or its support.
  • Updates. We update our apps regularly to fix problems and add improvements. Please install these updates, as some are needed for GamblingBlock to keep working, and older versions may stop working.
  • Suspension and termination. You can stop using GamblingBlock and delete your account whenever you want. We may suspend or close your account if you seriously breach these terms. Except in cases of serious misuse or when urgent action is needed, we will contact you first and give you 14 days to put things right.
  • Device requirements. Your phone or tablet must meet the requirements shown on the App Store or Google Play. GamblingBlock Advanced needs a Mac or Windows computer and a cable to connect your device, and our website needs an up-to-date browser.

11. Governing Law and Disputes

These terms are governed by French law. If you are a consumer living in another country, you also keep the protection of your country's mandatory consumer laws.

If you have a complaint, please write to us first at contact@gamblingblock.app, and we will try to find a solution together.

Any dispute that can't be settled this way will go before the competent courts of Paris, France, unless the law allows you, as a consumer, to go to the courts where you live.
