The only blocker that works and you…

The only blocker that works and you can't uninstall. Always found ways around the others. This is worth the money! Here's to saving some money. Thanks Gamblock. Great support too when you need a hand installing.

Doesn't work, no refunds

Hoped this would be a lifesaver but the software doesn't work on the device we need it for due to security software that it is not possible to remove (the software bans Gamblock on the basis that it is 'malware'). Have been told I can't get a refund despite paying over £65 for software that I cannot use. Was offered transfer to another device but useless and there isn't another device it's needed for! Don't risk it, if it doesn't work on your device you might as well have burnt the cash instead. I hope they reconsider their position re refunds because it is not acceptable for a customer to pay for a product they cannot use.

Good investment

I have been using gamblock for years. Recently after getting a new computer I played in online casinos and lost way more than I needed. Gamblock may seem expensive; however, it's a small price to pay considering you can spend that much in the matter of minutes in a gambling site. I originally had trouble installing the software, and contacted Gamblock via email. They responded quickly and got the program installed. As I type this, I realize this small purchase literally saved me hundreds of dollars.

Prepare to get your life back..

I was surprised to see any negative reviews of Gamblock. I used them many years ago and "unfortunately" need them again now.
If you're serious about stopping then use these guys; you won't uninstall the app , you wont access any gambling sites.
They might be more expensive than other apps but they have been around for years and their software is the best .. I have tried the free ones .. they dont work.
Thank you Gamblock, not just for saving me money but for giving me my life back (again!)

Definitely worth it!!

I have tried many apps to stop me from gambling. I have always found a way to start playing again. Gamblock is making it very hard for me to gambling anyway at all.

Also the help they have gave me via email has been enormous to me. Blocking sites which I could still play on and assisting me.
I am so happy to have found gamblock as from today I hope to pick up and stop wasting money.

Thank you for being so helpful and the hard work that is behind this app.
It's well worth the money! At the end of the day if the app is stopping you from playing 100% the price is the least on mind.

I am very grateful!!

Thank you!

I WANT A REFUND. Stop stealing money from people.

I repeatedly asked for a refund. This does not work. Now I need to stop using safari. What’s the point if I can easily use safari to access any gambling site. Purchased this over a week ago and I have been begging them for a refund. I just keep getting ignored and told something new every time. I asked for a refund immediately after making the purchase. There is no exception. They just ignore my requests over and over. Save yourself the money. As the other review states, they steal your money. Might as well use it to gamble. Same result. If a company like this wants to be successful, they have to a. Offer a product that works and isn’t complicated to set up b. Offer good customer service and support and c.offer a satisfaction guaranteed especially when they claim a free 14 day trial yet when you sign up there jus not such thing.
I WANT MY MINEY BACK. This is robbery. A scam. Do not download. .
And YES I am a genuine user. I registered for your product under a different email. I’ve been contacting you multiple times a day so I’m sure you know exactly who I am. I used a more discreet email for the purpose of this review. Obviously, a purchaser of a product like yours is requiring a bit of anonymity. I’m sure discretion is something your service can appreciate, no? I have absolutely never encountered a company that want to help people and then just steals their money. You might as well just be a gambling site as well. Are you?

AVOID THIS PRODUCT

As many other people have mentioned, Gamblock is dreadful - little more than a virus which messes up your whole PC, blocks content which is not gambling related and just shuts down your computer. It cannot be removed and there is no customer support available unless you pay $20 for a 20 minute phonecall.

There are much better blocking sites than this. Don't waste your money on Gamblock. I haven't been able access my pc for 2 months now as it just keeps shutting down after 2 minutes of signing in due to Gamblock. It may end up costing me a new pc.

GamBlock is useless

I installed gamblock on my brother's PC because of his gambling addiction. On their site, they guarantee that the software can't be removed without heavy consequences for the computer. My brother still managed to get rid of it.
Consequences: the PC still runs fine and 2350€ were flushed down the toilet (+85$ for buying the programme). Thank you, gamblock, for breaking my trust in your useless software.

Hello Cedric,
It sounds like your brother may not have selected “Yes”, when "GamBlock® has finished preparing your system. Is your computer functioning correctly?" was displayed.
We also have more aggressive versions of GamBlock® for technically savvy users.

Please contact gamblock@gamblock.com and we will make sure your brother is protected.

absolutely horrific software

absolutely horrific software. BLOCK ALL THE WEBSITE. including sports, shopping and news. completly blocks ebay/argos/john lewis and all the other websites as soon as you try to buy anything that has a word gaming in it. for example i could not open a single website to buy a gaming mouse and monitor.

also blocks all the news and sports websites completly and shuts your computer down!

contacted staff and got absolutely no support. this is a horrific software please dont download it as there is NO WAY TO UNINSTALL IT. yes you read that correctly. I contacted staff and was told I can never remove it.

Hello Rob,

GamBlock® Features allows you to select the level of blocking you require.

GamBlock® is heuristic, so it blocks new gambling websites. Please use Send Report and we will unblock any non-gambling sites.

Please contact gamblock@gamblock.com and quote EpVfQoKnXlTkLiXsLuDk. We will then look into the support you received.

To clarify, GamBlock® cannot be removed during a protection period. It can easily be removed at the end of a protection period.

What a mistake

What a mistake

I was in need of gambling blocking software so I've sent GamBlock customer services questions before buying it. I was satisfied with their answers but then the problems started. Yes, it does some gambling blocking (it was completely not useful for my country until I sent them what they need to block), although they guaranteed that it will block 100% of gambling sites, nothing less, nothing more.

It doesn't only block my tab which it suspects is gambling related but whole browser. And it doesn't necessarily have to be connected to gambling in any way. I've been reading about the attach in Las Vegas on some news website - it crashed the browser. I've been reading about some laws in my country - it blocked the page. It blocked a video on facebook that has nothing to do with gambling. It also restarts my computer without any notice (resulting in lost work) and their customer service treats my every email as gambler trying to remove the software even though I gave them access to my computer and they see that it really does cause problems. They haven't resolved any of the issues and they send half-generic emails without replying to what my issues are.

Horrible customer service, really bad software, they don't want to remove it and they don't want to return my payment, I will go to Victoria consumer affairs and file an official complaint.

Stay away!

Hideous software

I would give zero stars if I could. Hideous bit of software that I cannot get off my computer. It was recommended to me by my Gamcare counsellor. It did the trick yes, it blocks absolutely everything. Even a newspaper story about some guy getting a speeding ticket because the story mentioned something about gambling with this life so it crashes the whole computer. And now, after a whole year that my licence has supposedly expired, I still cannot get it off my computer and now have had to resort to allowing Gamblock remote access to remove it. Something that I feel very uneasy about. Save your money, have a trusted friend set up parental controls for gambling and not tell you the password. When I first installed Gamblock my computer blocked it and said it contained a Trojan. Customer support has been good but their fixes have not resolved the issue thus far and it is wreaking havoc with my life. I am probably in a minority here, but it does not work for me and this is my opinion only.

Absolutely pointless piece of software

If you have a gambling problem and the half hour it would take you to uninstall this software from your computer will put you off gambling then this is for you. If, however, you would make the effort of the half hour required to completely remove this software without requiring any password apart from your usual admin PC password then this software is not for you. Absolute rubbish.
