I wanted a simple tool to stop myself from wasting money on online casinos. I'm not a heavy gambler, but when I'm bored it's way too easy to drop €20 here and there just to "try my luck" — and it adds up fast.I asked ChatGPT for advice, and it recommended BetBlocker as a strong free solution. Sounded great, so I installed it and chose the 5-year block, thinking: "If I’m doing this, I’m going all in."Unfortunately, that’s when the problems started.BetBlocker completely broke my favorite browser (Vivaldi) — it wouldn't even open. That really scared me. I thought I had bricked my phone, and the idea of being locked into this for 5 years on a device I might not even use that long? That made me panic.Even worse, when I tested it, I could still access major gambling sites like LeoVegas and MrGreen without any issue at all.ChatGPT told me to try restarting my phone — and that's when I noticed something interesting: the VPN key icon didn’t show up right away after boot. In that short window before it reactivated, I managed to uninstall the app.Phew. That was a close one.I totally respect what BetBlocker is trying to do. Helping people fight gambling addiction is important — but there has to be a better, safer, and more transparent way to do this.As it stands, the tool is too aggressive with some apps, not consistent in blocking gambling sites, and potentially dangerous for the average user who might not know how to get out once it's installed.
