Block gambling apps & sites with GambleX Shield. Get support from a recovery community, beat urges when they hit, and track streaks + money saved as you rebuild.
Quit gambling. Block it. Stay free.
GambleX helps you quit for good: block gambling access, follow a 60-Day Protocol, and get tools the moment an urge hits.
Today is the day you stop. We'll show you how.
WHY GAMBLEX WORKS
Most "willpower" apps stop at motivation. GambleX combines three things that actually move the needle:
- Physical barriers (you can't gamble if you can't access it)
- Daily structure (the 60-Day Protocol)
- Real-time intervention (when an urge hits, you have a plan)
GAMBLEX SHIELD: BLOCK GAMBLING, FOR REAL
- Block gambling apps and sites with Apple Screen Time
- Survives browser clears and app reinstalls
- 48-hour removal cooldown, so an urge can't undo your progress in one tap
- Pick exactly which apps and sites you want blocked
THE 60-DAY PROTOCOL
A structured plan, one task a day, designed to break the cycle and build a new identity.
- Phase 1 (Days 1–20): Awareness — triggers, real cost, and how gambling hijacks your brain.
- Phase 2 (Days 21–40): Rewiring — new habits, thought challenges, coping plans, telling family.
- Phase 3 (Days 41–60): Fortification — relapse prevention, emergency plan, new identity.
Each task takes a few minutes and unlocks the next day.
URGE SOS, BUILT FOR THE WORST MOMENTS
One tap on Home opens a guided urge interrupt:
- Tough-love clarity that cuts through the fog
- Breathing and grounding to regulate your nervous system
- A reminder of the values you ranked yourself
- A short focus game to break the loop
- A reflection so the win sticks
By the end, the urge has usually passed.
DAILY TOOLS THAT ACTUALLY HELP

AI COACH, ON DEMAND

ANONYMOUS COMMUNITY

LIFE AFTER DAY 60
A personalised Maintenance Plan based on your data, your strongest and weakest skills, your high-risk days, and what you actually used. Recovery is for life, and the app stays with you.
PRIVATE BY DESIGN
Your journal, check-ins, and reflections live on your device. The community is anonymous.
