UNTILT VS BETBLOCKER.
Short version: BetBlocker is a free, charity-run, multi-platform blocker with enormous breadth — genuinely admirable software. Untilt is a timed iPhone wall focused on sportsbooks, DFS, and prediction markets, with no account. Both have real free tiers; the model is the difference.
Respect first
BetBlocker deserves its reputation. A free registered charity: multi-platform blocking across 351k+ gambling sites, 30+ languages. The default free recommendation across the sector — and genuinely good at what it does. A charity shipping free protection across platforms and languages is the sector at its best, and if budget or multi-device coverage is your constraint, install it today — genuinely.

The iPhone-native difference
On iOS the mechanics matter. BetBlocker's iPhone blocking runs through a VPN profile — workable, but the profile model is easier to disable and can collide with other network configs. Untilt's wall is enforced by Apple's Screen Time technology, the system-level restriction machinery built into iOS: the block is applied on-device, nothing routes through a server, and an active wall resists app deletion. The wall model differs too. A timed hour you raise before the game, versus restrictions set to stand for months. Neither is "correct"; they're different postures toward the same enemy.
Honest bottom line
Zero budget, many devices, all gambling categories: BetBlocker, no hesitation. iPhone-centered sports action — books, pick'em, event contracts with instant timed walls and native iOS behavior: Untilt. Either way, add the account layer: self-exclusion, explained.
Questions
Is BetBlocker really free?
Yes — BetBlocker is a registered charity and its blocking is free on every platform. If cost is the barrier, install it today. Untilt's one-hour walls are also free and unlimited; its Pro tier funds development.
Why choose Untilt if BetBlocker is free and broader?
iPhone-native blocking through Apple's Screen Time technology, timed walls rather than standing restrictions, sportsbook/DFS/prediction-market focus including Kalshi and Polymarket, and no account. Different tool shape for a different user.
Can I run both?
Generally yes — they work at different layers. BetBlocker's iPhone blocking uses a VPN profile; Untilt's wall is enforced by Apple's Screen Time technology. Stacking layers is reasonable for heavy coverage; add self-exclusion as the account layer either way.
PUT THE WALL UP.
Hold once. Covered sportsbooks, DFS apps, and prediction markets stop loading on this iPhone. One-hour walls are free; Pro holds longer.
