Blocking software
What is blocking software?
Blocking software is a computer programme that limits access to websites or other services available over the internet.
There are two kinds of blocking software available:
- Gambling-specific blocking software, which is designed to block gambling websites.
- General blocking software, which is designed to block any sites you want and set access permissions or parental controls.
