How to evaluate gambling blocking software
Start with the barrier the buyer needs. Device blocking limits access on an installed phone or computer; it does not change an operator account, calculate a player risk score or instruct a bank payment block. Keep it distinct from self-exclusion registries, PAM responsible-gambling tools and professional treatment. It can complement those measures without replacing them.
Compare supported operating systems, required device permissions, activation and update handling. Ask what happens on a new device, after a configuration change or when a website has not yet been included. Removal constraints vary between device platforms and must be explained clearly to users. An extensive blocklist does not establish perfect coverage or a recovery outcome.
For sponsored access, specify who receives licences, how users activate voluntarily, the term/renewal arrangements, partner visibility and data minimisation. Activation data is not a diagnosis or proof that a user has stopped gambling. Agree training, signposting, support escalation and the boundaries between the distributing organisation and software supplier.

Buyer questions, answered
Is device blocking the same as an operator self-exclusion registry?
No. Device software restricts website/app access on the installed device. An operator registry changes eligibility within its own scope; sponsored blocking can be offered as an additional barrier.
SourceDoes a blocking licence automatically cover a newly acquired phone?
The user must install and activate the software on a compatible device with the required permissions. Confirm licence limits, operating-system requirements and support before rollout.
SourceCan blocking software promise to cure addiction?
No. Gamban’s current EULA explicitly distinguishes the technical barrier from treatment and encourages additional support and layers. Evaluate blocking scope and support without assuming a recovery outcome.
