Internet & Mobile Internet Providers to have an online gambling blocking option

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

Gambling, and most recently common, online gambling is one of the worlds biggest additions and the result of high levels of suicides within the world.
At present, there are no ways to restrict addicts from accessing these websites on their mobile internet without applying a full Parental Block.

Mobile providers should take responsibility that addicts cannot restrict themselves from gambling without restricting them from using their mobile data from accessing any apps or internet sites that are deemed 18+.

Online gambling has hundreds of different sites and thousands of adverts on our TV every day.

Bring addicted to gambling can ruin lives - but more seriously, can result in the loss of life.

Internet / Mobile providers need to allow a gambling restriction option NOW.

Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

It is already possible to block gambling sites on mobile phones using existing software. More information can be found on the GamCare website:
