Gambling-blocking software (Gamban and others)
Cost: Paid; sometimes free via state helplines
Blocking software such as Gamban restricts access to online gambling sites and apps across your phone and computer. Putting a barrier between you and gambling — especially on the device you gamble on — is one of the most effective practical steps early in recovery. In some states, the National Problem Gambling Helpline can provide access at no cost, so it is worth calling 1-800-GAMBLER to ask.
