Key findings
Gambling blocking software was found to be generally effective at restricting access to most major gambling websites, though no software blocked all sites. It can help reduce gambling-related harm, however effectiveness depends on the user's commitment to recovery.
There is still a role for blocking software, particularly in blocking access to unlicensed overseas gambling sites.
