GamBlock®  Reviews 

Best product on the market hands down, only product that saves a gambler from him self, takes a few emails back and forward to get fully set up bit once you have it sorted you are very very safe. It has literally saved me thousands over the last six months, very happy with the product.

First off they are NOT a "social services organization" as they claim. They are a for profit company. Just be honest about what you do. They sell you a product that sounds good and they present it as though they are wanting to help. At first it seems fine. It does block gambling websites and they will usually respond to emails (in their own time). However, they DO NOT admit fault for anything ever. You are always wrong and I am sure they will respond with something like that here. My review is solely based on how it affects your computers functionality for other things beyond gambling. You buy it and it seems fine at first and as time goes on it constantly restricts random sites for no reason. It wont close just one tab either. It closes every tab you have open. God forbid you are working on something important and go to a new tab for a look at your personal email account or USPS.com for example. Every time I contacted them it was the same response. Its working properly just send us a list of websites its blocking. Ok. So, I somehow have time to track all of this and contact them daily to report it? Its multiple sites per day and if they are blocked how can I give them the full address from the address bar? I'm supposed to be their Beta tester and debugger I guess. Perhaps a salary is in order. Fine. I went ahead and reported sites to them for a while. Contacted them probably 25 times and nothing got better. They said it would learn and adapt and get better at filtering. IT DID NOT. It never got any better after many many emails. After that experience I honestly think its a well-presented scam or at the very least the original management is gone and its now run by bean counters who dont care about quality and functionality. That happens quite often in the tech world. They sell the product under the guise of helping people and then they refuse to remove it once it becomes more of a problem than a help. They get their money and dont care if it ruins your ability to use your computer. For gambling addicts who dont use their computer for anything else I could see some use for it. Although if thats the case just get rid of the computer. If you need your computer for anything else besides gambling stay away. Far away.

I’ve been using this software on multiple devices for the past 3 years and they’ve been nothing but helpful. I can highly recommend it if you want an irremovable software that’ll help you through your urges.

They have always been attentive and helpful with anything. I have spoken to the CEO and creator personally and he is a lovely person who seems to just want to help. The assistants I’ve spoken to have always been more than helpful and polite, actioning things in a timely manner.

I will continue to use this software for the foreseeable future, until I feel I don’t need the prevention anymore. Thank you all from gamblock for your assistance and kindness regarding everything :)

Worst experience ever! With other softwares, you could still retreat if it´s not working while with this one, You´re stuck!
I still had access to gambling websites and no matter how much I tried to solve that, it didn´t work! It felt that I will have to volunteer for them updating them with all the websites I still have access to so they can block them!
I tried to go the responsible consumer protection authority, the GamBlock started threatening of puting my phone on that kind of mode where I cannot do anything but call and text!!
Extreamly unprofessional and DOES NOT REALLY BLOCK GAMBLING WEBSITES!

I would give zero stars if possible.

Before downloading the software, I identified several legitimate security concerns with the process they were using. Because those concerns were unresolved, I chose not to download or install the required app (HelpDesk Host on iOS). I will not install software on my device when there are real security questions.

Despite never downloading, installing, or activating the product, I was unable to obtain a refund — even after multiple attempts to resolve the issue with support.

Support responses were slow and did not meaningfully address the concerns raised. No practical resolution was offered. Instead of acknowledging that we had found an alternative solution that was immediately available and working effectively, the company continued to push their product and framed it as us “not wanting help,” which was simply not accurate.

Gamblock states that its mission is to help people struggling with gambling addiction. In our experience, that mission did not translate into flexibility, understanding, or customer care when legitimate concerns were raised. Retaining payment for software that was never downloaded or used, while positioning themselves as trying to help, felt inconsistent with that stated mission.

It is also important to note that their solution requires installing a third-party remote access app (HelpDesk Host), which currently holds a 1.3★ rating with overwhelmingly negative reviews on the App Store.

Given the unresolved security concerns, refusal to refund unused software, and the overall handling of this situation, I cannot recommend Gamblock. I strongly encourage others to carefully evaluate alternative solutions before purchasing and to steer clear if you have any hesitation.

If I could give zero stars that would be more appropriate. This is a total scam. When you start to download the software it is flagged by all security firewalls as malicious. When contacting the company regarding this there are lengthy delays in responding and the vendor failed to provide any credible evidence of software safety, refused to offer meaningful support, and ultimately declined to issue a refund despite the product never being used. They are taking advantage of people in a very vulnerable state - pathetic.

Best blocking software there is IMO and helpful customer support to work through any issues. Highly recommend

This one is great. I tried creating another user and was still blocked.

3 years of no gambling on slots on my samsung devices :-) I love Gamblock, it is discrete and blocks online slots, it's a life saver. It can be a bit tricky sometimes getting everything updated and working right but the helpdesk are always super helpful. My top tip is *renew early* every time - it just keeps on going!
Thank you Gamblock !
(FWIW, I use another product on my laptops, for mobile devices, I stick to Samsung and Gamblock, it's a great combo)

This app saved me money from this evil gambling.

DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SERVICE!

before i write my personal in depth story, theese are the essentials you should know:

PC: after installation by a remote agent from their side, I factory reset my pc and was able to gamble straight away.

iOS: After installation i could not gamble on app store casinos but could easily find some online casinos that worked, while some where blocked.

their "AI" system that they claim seperate them from other blocking services are completely false. this is not bulletproof since i was able to gamble on both iphone and pc after remote installation BY THEIR AGENTS.

my story:
bought subscription for pc and ios beginning of may 2025. writing this 22nd of may 2025.
TODAY i was finally helped and now have both my pc and Ios installation done.
the links they sent for pc installation after purchase were faulty and i got a remote agent from their side to download them for me today..

their customer service is horrible and straight up fake. you CANT talk to them through phone, only mail, that should be your first warining sign since their website has a phone inquiery..

they show no expertice or professionalism at all.
all parties work remote and dont have an afficient way to cooparate. I had so many errors and problems with them AND the installation.. they didnt know the problem and would just escalate the problem to ''higher ups''

you can get a response on average once per day through mail, by different people, so the thread gets messy and you dont get any sort of personal contact that takes care of your case.
vauge robot like responses, ignoring or straight up missing some of your questions and concerns

i saved up my last money for this and sold all my other devices, in hope that i would be safe with gamblock installed on my 2 devices that i know have.

after going through hell with their "team" for almost 3 weeks, i finally got it installed on my devices, just to see that a factory reset was all it took to gamble for pc, and my Ios device could within literally 2 minutes of looking find a website i could gamble on.. then they ban that site and ask me to send the others i can access..
and we all know that new casinos pop up everyday, so their service is basically useless or as good as other blocking services.

I hope i save someone with this

at this moment im currently waiting again.. for them to look into the problem.
at this point im asking for a refund that i wont get due to their policy.
Even if they make this all work in the end somehow, this review and warning is justified to be published

Bought this 6 days ago not knowing how horrible and misleading the support and website really was.

Been waiting for a call for 5 days that they say would take around 24h. So thats just a bullshit form they put out. As everyone says. They never call.

The Only way you can get contact with them is through mail.. which are 80% vauge auto responses ignoring 90% of your concerns and questions. And you get a response once every 2 days on average. So it Will take like a week to get somewhat of an answer to a basic question or problem that would be Done in a 2min live chat or call..

Installation does not work even after complete reset of my pc, while having pc knowledge myself. after submitting proof of me doing everything right but still having problems and begging for help (THROUGH MAIL! since the much easier way would be a 10 minute call to a human for some humane and real contact is impossible)
I have yet to been answered in 3 days, while my mails regarding the remote iOS installation progress are answered once a day for now atleast..
So that Will probably take some time to get figured out with how poorly and ”robot like” responses are through mail.

When it comes to my iOS i am so scared after reading the reviews.
I dont have a ”sponsor” but i do have loved ones and family backing me and supporting me putting my last money to get ”help” (cant afford food now).

But apparently WHEN or even IF i can get in contact with a technical agent, i lose access to lots of essential apps like banking, traveling and socialising the first 30 days for no reason if i dont have sponsor..?

I dont even have the program installed yet but already regret this purchase after realising a warm, personal and helping 1 on 1 live chat/call is impossible.

Cant speak good/bad about their product in itself yet.. so i Wont. But i would strongly be aware of this company as a whole since their outside image does not represent the inside image and values they present in correlation to the relationship with their clients, so i do understand the whole scam hysteria, while i would not quite Literally call it that.. but its not a good look.

Tried betstop, lost money, same with betblocker and gamban. Now my bank account will be heading in the right direction once I pay off my debts.

ABSOLUTE SCAM COMPANY. Do NOT USE.Does not work on Apple products and you need a sponsor to make their software work. Customer service is all a scam and you cannot get hold of them. They tried to install spyware on my laptop without me knowing and obtain my private and sensitive information. Paid £500 for 2 year protection and received a load of links which do not work and it is not compatible. They are refusing to give me a refund stating they do not provide refunds under any circumstances.
Really horrible company.

Thank the stars above.
I had Gambon and lost 20k.
I wish somebody had told me about this earlier.

Terrible experience with GamBlock. I purchased their software, only to find out after buying that I couldn’t use it without a “sponsor”—a requirement buried in small print. If you don’t have a sponsor for 30 days your phone is not allowed other apps! Not even messaging!
I never downloaded or used the software, yet they refused to honor my EU 14-day right of withdrawal, which legally applies unless explicitly waived (which I never did). Their support was dismissive and unhelpful, ignoring consumer protection laws.
Deceptive marketing, unfair terms, and refusal to refund. I’ve escalated to PayPal and my bank. Avoid this company at all costs!

Will be reporting to the ombudsman unless refunded by end of week.

Edit: what a load of rubbish, under European consumer law I have 14 days to refund unused software unless I waive my right - which needs to be explicit checkbox and not buried in terms.
You restrict my legal right and I will ensure this is taken through relevant channels to either force you to comply or to restrict your entry in the European market.

Your support are no help - telling me to find a sponsor if I want to use banking apps etc. I do not have a sponsor.

Your website says my phone has “full functionality” in big bold letters and only down the bottom of the page it says the first 30 days this isn’t true. This is misleading.

Refund me, and comply with European consumer laws. Why would anyone trust a company who violate the law?

Gamblock favours gambling websites. If you have a funded account with a betting provider you have to wait 48 hours before you can withdraw your funds. If you don't, gamblock turns off within 24 hours so you are able to deposit and gamble again.
why would you be unable to withdraw your own funds whilst on a curfew?

I cannot recommend this enough
This product for me is hands down the best thing I have ever purchased
As someone who has had a gambling addiction for 14 years or so, over the years I've tried everything possible to keep myself safe and I can honestly say this is the only thing that works.
It is my own fault that once the subscription period is over I do get it removed and unfortunately I am then able to gamble but this is my own fault.
When I have had the protection is place is has been absolutely fantastic. I have installed both on PC and phone several times and once it is installed the is absolutely no way in hell I am able to access any gambling sites or anything gambling related. It can be a little tricky to install and uninstall but the team are there the help and they really do help! they are very fast at responding and are with you every step of the way to get you protected and stay protected. They do send follow up emails too to check if everything is still to your satisfaction. Any problem any time they will help.
I want to thank you for saving my life. I am ready to install again after a relapse and I cannot thank you enough. Whoever created this I wish nothing but success for you on a really remarkable product. I feel like still not many people know about this product and I really really hope this continues to grow and your exposure becomes greater because this is such a powerful piece of software. Thank you so much

I can’t believe this. I didn’t think it was possible to block every single thing I tried. I’ve been spending time with my family again for the first time in ages. I’m looking forward to rebuilding trust with my friends and getting back into golf.

Thankyou for helping my family. There seems to be more and more offshore gambling and crypto gambling. Gamblock has blocked them all. I'm catching up on sleep for the first time in a long time.
