In their words.

“I have removed gambling apps in the past but will redownload them for certain sporting events. Recovo helped me fully block the apps so I am no longer tempted or even have access to them.”

Four things standing between you and the bet.

Willpower is the last line of defense. Recovo builds the three in front of it.

Blocks the apps and the sites.

An always-on Safari extension blocks 4,400+ sportsbooks, casinos, and betting sites automatically. Screen Time covers the apps themselves, and the sites you pick in other browsers.

.casino.bet.poker.bingo.slots.lotto+ 4,400 sites

Block for an hour or a year

Block setup: choose a duration from 1 hour to 1 year and turn on partner unlock

Puts a person in the way.

Turning the block off takes an unlock code texted to your accountability partner. You can't quietly undo it in a weak moment.

Your partner holds the key

An active block counting down, with the accountability partner who would be notified of an early unlock

Rather not involve anyone? Lockdown Mode.

The block runs on a timer nothing can end early, not even you. What a block can't stop. Add a partner whenever you're ready.

Counts every clean day.

Recovery is measured in days, not promises. Recovo counts every one and shows you how far you've come, from your first clean day to a full year.

Money kept, urges beaten

Progress screen: days free, urges resisted and money saved

Keeps a private journal.

Work through the triggers in writing. Your entries stay yours: backed up to your account, never sold or shared.

Log an urge the moment you beat it

A slip doesn't erase anything.

Log it and a new streak starts at Day 1. Your best streak stays saved as proof of what you're capable of. Relapse is not failure, it's information.

Your best streak stays saved

Willpower alone rarely beats a machine built to keep you betting.

Online gambling is designed to be impossible to walk away from. The apps sit one tap away, the sites reopen the second an urge hits, and the whole system is engineered to pull you back in. The hard part is staying stopped in the moment.

Recovo adds friction exactly where you need it and counts the days where it matters most. Stopping becomes something you can keep, one day at a time, with a streak worth protecting and a person who has your back.

Starting from scratch? Read how to stop gambling when willpower isn't working, then how to block gambling sites on iPhone. If you've just slipped, start with what to do after a gambling relapse. Weighing your options? We compare six iPhone gambling blockers, including the two that are free: Screen Time and BetBlocker.

Straight answers.

Something not working? The help center has step-by-step fixes, from a site that still loads to ending a block early.

How does Recovo block gambling apps and websites on iPhone?
Recovo blocks in two layers. A built-in Safari extension automatically blocks 4,400+ known gambling and sportsbook domains, plus every .casino, .bet, .poker, .bingo, .slots and .lotto address. Switch it on once in iOS Settings and it stays on. That list works in Safari only. For other browsers and the gambling apps themselves, Recovo guides you through Apple's Screen Time (Family Controls) picker in about a minute, where you choose the apps and up to about 50 websites.
Is Recovo free?
Recovo starts with a free 7-day trial. Cancel in your iPhone's Settings at least a day before it ends and you pay nothing. After that, Recovo Pro is an auto-renewable subscription that unlocks blocking, streak tracking, the journal, and the accountability partner feature. You can cancel anytime.
Does Recovo work on Android?
Recovo is currently available on iOS only, because it relies on Apple's Screen Time API to block gambling apps and sites. An Android version isn't available yet.
What is an accountability partner?
An accountability partner is someone you trust who helps you stay on track. Turning off the block requires an unlock code that's sent by SMS to your partner, so ending a block early takes a code you don't hold. Your partner consents to receive the messages first.
Do I need an accountability partner to use Recovo?
No. If you'd rather not involve anyone else yet, turn on Lockdown Mode instead. The block runs on a timer and nothing can end it early, not even you, until it expires. No block covers everything: see what a block can't stop. Add a partner any time you're ready for a second layer of accountability.
What happens if I relapse?
Nothing gets deleted and nothing you've done gets erased. Log it in the app and Recovo starts a new streak at Day 1, and your best streak stays saved as proof of what you're capable of. Relapse is not failure, it's information.
Is my data private?
Yes. Your notification and blocking settings live on your device. Your accountability partner's name and number live there too, and reach our server only to send their SMS. Then they're deleted automatically within 7 days. Your journal, relapse history, resisted urges and profile sync securely to your private account for backup and cross-device access, and are never sold.
Can I cancel anytime?
Yes, anytime, right from your iPhone's subscription settings, with no calls or emails required. Canceling doesn't delete your data; your streak and history stay tied to your account if you ever come back.
