Run the numbers you have been avoiding

Gambling sites are built to keep this math blurry. This page makes it sharp: fill in your own numbers and see what betting takes in money and time, per month, per year and over five years. Everything is calculated right here in your browser and never sent anywhere.

// the real problem

If quitting were just willpower, you would have quit already

Gambling sites aimed at gamers are engineered by some of the best retention designers in the world. Struggling against that is not a character flaw. It is an unfair matchup, and you are allowed to change the rules.

It looks like a game

Case openings, crash graphs, roulette wheels in your team's colors. The interface borrows everything from the games you love, so your brain files it under play, not gambling.

Skins hide the money

Betting a knife skin does not feel like betting 300 euro, but it is. The abstraction is the point. It makes losses easier to ignore until they are too big to.

It is always one tab away

No trip to a casino, no dress code, no closing time. The distance between an urge and a bet is about four seconds of typing. That distance is where we fight.

Blocking it once is not enough

These sites rotate mirror domains constantly to dodge filters and regulators. Yesterday's block can be useless by Friday. A blocker has to keep up, so this one does.

Here is the reframe: installing a blocker is not admitting weakness. It is the same move as muting toxic chat or deleting a distracting app. You are removing an input that costs you games, money and sleep. That is discipline, not defeat.

And if you slip? A slip is information, not a verdict. The blocklist does not judge and does not keep score against you. It is still standing there tomorrow.

What gambling really costs you, and what you get back

// what getting out looks like

Three stories from the first people out

Different games, same trap door. Three of our first users, on what changed when the sites simply stopped loading.

Sports betting

Fridays belong to the dinner table again

Mark bet on football every weekend — around €400, more when he was chasing Sunday's losses. He installed StopTemptations on a clear-headed Tuesday and set Lock Mode for three months. The money matters: the counter sits around €5,000 kept. But what he actually talks about is smaller than that. He watches the whole movie with his daughter now, without a score burning in his pocket, and his Sundays no longer decide his Mondays.

Skin gambling

The knife is still in his inventory

Finn never called it gambling. It was opening cases in CS2 and betting skins on Rust sites, and it quietly ate every euro he had. The case sites sponsored half his feed; the week he installed the blocker, they simply stopped loading. The urge took longer to fade than the ads did. But the knife he grinded a whole year for is still in his inventory, and for the first time since he was sixteen, his balance survives the month.

Online casino

The last lie was about car repairs

Tom's lowest point was not a number. It was borrowing €800 from his brother "for car repairs" and losing it to an online casino the same night. The blocker did not fix the shame — nothing installs that. But it held the door shut long enough for him to tell his brother the truth, agree on a payback plan, and stop inventing stories about where his money goes. The debt is shrinking. The lying stopped with it.

// keep going

The calculator shows what gambling takes. These three pages show what the blocker does about it, what it costs and how to set it up for someone you love.

// one decision, made once

Make the decision once, on a clear day like today.

Install takes under a minute. After that, staying away gets decided one time, right here, instead of a hundred times in hard moments. The wall holds so you do not have to.
