Anti gambling softwhere

Hi , ive got a problem with online gambling , really want to install some anti gambling thing on my pc to prevent me being a further mug , but will it affect OH who is on an i phone in another room ?
he enjoys horse racing and has an occasional flutter and I don't want to stop him doing that as its me with the issue.
Also would I be able to check my lottery ticket still on the pc?
Advice needed please

  • You can self excluded from bookies,

    If you install anti gambling software you will have access to bypass it
  • I don't go in bookies or Casinos , I only gamble online ,I know it blocks a pc , but does it block any other internet device in the house as I don't want others to be affected.

    You can self exclude from online bookies/casinos as well,

    but to answer question no it wont block other devices unless its installed at router level,

    But as i said whats the point in blocking the pc when you could simple disable it if you wanted to gamble
