For gambling addicts who ONLY use their devices for gambling I could see some use for it. For anybody else....

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.

Hi Shawn, Thank you for the detailed feedback. A few points of clarification: GamBlock® started in 2000 as a free service. We approached government bodies for funding to keep it that way, but support never materialised, so we made the difficult decision to charge for the software in order to keep it running and improve it independently. Indirect industry money these days would compromise GamBlock®'s purpose. You are correct. We are not a "social services organization". That's a secondary category we've since had corrected. We're a software company built specifically for gambling harm prevention. On the "contacted 25 times" point: our records show a different picture. The email thread shows only a handful of exchanges over several weeks, and replies from your side were often days apart. Each time we asked for specific site examples or screenshots so we could investigate and adjust the filtering, the responses primarily focused on requesting removal rather than providing the specific examples we needed to investigate. We can't improve the heuristic filtering without that kind of feedback, and we did try more than once to get it. Previously, GamBlock for Windows did block per tab. However, Chrome changed. We will look into your request. We also noticed that your Transaction ID was never registered and you did not follow our instructions. Following the installation instructions should provide a much better experience and allow us to properly assist with any issues that arise. Regards, GamBlock®

I’ve been using this software on PC, iPhone

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

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!

Scam! Stay away

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.

Hello Max, We’re sorry to hear that you feel this way, and we’d like to clarify a few important points. You chose not to proceed with installation, which is of course your decision. During our correspondence, we offered practical ways to address your concerns, including working with your security provider regarding the issue raised, which Barracuda confirmed as a false positive, as well as offering alternative remote support options. These options were not taken up. In your case, setup required secure remote access so we could correctly implement protection. We use established third-party tools for this purpose, and where concerns are raised, we are always willing to offer alternatives. Regarding your comment about using alternative solutions—many people who come to us have previously tried other solutions that did not meet their expectations or were not suitable for their needs. Our focus since 2000 has been on building long-term, reliable protection. We do understand that you had concerns. However, it is not accurate to say that support was unresponsive or that no resolution was offered, as multiple options were provided. Our focus is on helping people put strong, lasting protections in place, and we remain available should you wish to revisit this with us. If you have any concerns about our integrity, I suggest you contact Arnie Wexler, who stopped gambling in 1968. We stand ready to help you. Regards, GamBlock®

If I could give zero stars that would…

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.
