Gamban is an opt-in blocking software designed to help individuals struggling with gambling addiction by restricting access to gambling platforms.

What is Gamban and how does it work

Gamban is an opt-in blocking software designed to help individuals struggling with gambling addiction by restricting access to gambling platforms. It works by utilizing a continuously updated cloud database to block device-level access to thousands of regulated and unregulated gambling websites and applications, including poker, bingo, sports, casino, lotto, crypto, skins and FSGs.

Once installed, the application runs continuously in the background to filter internet traffic and prevent gambling content from loading.

Is Gamban free

No, Gamban is a paid subscription service, but 7-day free trial is available.

Pricing

Price is €2.99 per month or €29.99 annually.

Gamban not working

Common causes of Gamban not working correctly:

• An outdated app version not yet covering newly launched gambling domains.
• Use of a third-party VPN, which is incompatible with active Gamban protection.
• Incomplete installation: the configuration profile was not installed on iOS, or Accessibility Service was not granted on Android.
• Installation on a work-managed device with restricted permissions.
• Switching to a different browser or OS user profile on desktop.

For persistent technical issues, users can contact support by emailing [email protected], calling the toll-free number 8005224700 or using the live chat feature on the Gamban website.

Unblocked gambling sites can be reported to the Gamban team for addition to the blocklist.

Refunds are issued in the following specific cases:

• Gamban notifies the user of an upcoming change to the software or licence terms the user does not accept.
• Gamban suspends or announces suspension of the software for technical reasons.
• The user has a legal right to end the licence due to a fault by Gamban.
• A pricing error occurred and Gamban terminates the licence as a result.
• A service disruption outside Gamban's control causes substantial delay.

Risks and downsides of bypassing Gamban

Bypassing Gamban completely defeats the software's core purpose of providing necessary friction during gambling urges, drastically elevating the likelihood of a severe relapse. Furthermore, users who attempt to circumvent standard blocks often find themselves resorting to unregulated, black-market offshore casinos. Engaging with these illegal platforms exposes users to significant risks, including identity theft, unfair gaming odds and the inability to withdraw their funds.

FAQ

Can I install Gamban on someone else's device?

You can technically install Gamban on someone else's device, but it cannot be done secretly. A single licence covers up to 15 personal devices, including those of family members.

What happens if you delete the Gamban app?

Deleting the app does not remove the block; it remains active for the duration of the paid subscription. If delete the app and its associated management profiles, Gamban will immediately stop working.
