Block gambling on Mac
OFFBET blocks gambling across your whole Mac — 600,000+ betting sites and casino apps stopped in every browser and app. It filters locally with a background helper — nothing is ever sent to a remote server — and it's PIN-locked so you can't quietly switch it off. Sign in once — a 3-day free trial, no card, then Essential at a small social price.
How OFFBET blocks gambling on Mac
System-wide DNS filtering
A privileged OFFBET helper runs a local DNS resolver right on your Mac and drops gambling domains before any page loads — so the block works in every browser and every app, not just one.
PIN-locked anti-tamper
Uninstalling OFFBET is PIN-gated with a cooling-off delay, and a background watchdog re-arms the filter — and if you've paired a Companion, tamper attempts alert them.
Bypass-proof
This release adds a local network filter alongside DNS filtering. Protection with third-party VPNs is still being validated. On macOS 13 or later, enable the new filter in OFFBET and grant the permissions requested by macOS.
