Can you block betting apps on iPhone?
Yes. Download Stifle and choose the betting app you keep going back to. Your first app block is free.
iPhone app block for betting urges
The problem is not deleting the betting app. It is what happens next.
Stifle is live. Download it, block the betting app you keep going back to, and make the next redownload harder before the urge gets fast.

Pick the app while you feel clear. Let the block be there when you do not.

Why is deleting DraftKings or FanDuel not enough?
Deleting an app removes it for a moment, but the App Store makes it easy to reinstall or switch to another app when a trigger comes back.
What does Stifle block for free?
Stifle starts with one free iPhone app block so you can protect the app that usually opens the loop first.
The actual loop
You delete the app when you feel clear. You redownload it when you do not.
The dangerous moment is usually practical, not dramatic: a game starts, a promo hits, payday lands, boredom spikes, or a loss turns into chasing.
Stifle starts before the bet. Choose the first app your thumb goes back to and make that path harder to open again.
How Stifle works
One clean block before the urge gets clever.
Name the app
Pick the sportsbook, prediction market, fantasy, or pick'em app you reach for first.
Turn on the block
Set the first block so the app is harder to reopen when the urge comes back.
Cover the switch
If the urge moves to another app, Full Protection closes that substitute path too.
Full Protection
Free protects one. Full closes the switch.
Free is the focused first block. Full Protection is for the moment you tell yourself another app does not count.

Known app coverage
Start with the app that usually opens the loop.

The useful signal is simple: which app do you delete first, and which app does the urge try next?
Accountability after the block
The promise is not the lock. It is the reminder.
Stifle is not therapy and it is not an AI sponsor. It is a practical iPhone guardrail, with a daily promise to keep the decision visible after the block is already set up.

Questions
Plain answers.
Is Stifle therapy?
No. Stifle is not therapy, coaching, or crisis care. It is a protection tool built to add friction before sports betting happens.
What is free?
One iPhone app block, the daily promise, progress tracking, basic reminders, and the reset flow when you want to bet.
What is Full Protection?
Full Protection is for the switch: the moment you block one betting app and the urge starts looking for another sportsbook, prediction market, casino, fantasy, or pick'em app.
Does the block require signing every day?
No. Signing keeps your promise and streak honest. Blocking depends on your Stifle setup and selected app coverage.
Does Stifle block offshore betting websites?
Not in the first iPhone beta. We are starting with what we can block clearly and reliably: iPhone apps. Users can submit missing apps for review.
