Block betting apps, sites and ads on your phone.
Scroll past braais and goals, not bonus codes. One app covers all three, and setup takes about five minutes.
You're on the list.
We'll email you once, when QuietFeed is ready to try.
One app for all three
Betting apps, blocked
Sportsbook and casino apps won't open. On iPhone, we set up Screen Time to limit them.
Betting sites, blocked
Betting websites stop loading in your browser, including the links in promo posts.
Fewer betting ads in your feed
With your permission, QuietFeed switches off gambling ads in Meta, Google, TikTok and X, and mutes the promo accounts that slip through.
Set it up in about five minutes. You connect each account once, and we only touch its ad settings. We never see your passwords or messages.
Why this matters

For banks, employers and medical schemes

Questions
Is QuietFeed a gambling blocker?
Yes. It blocks betting apps and betting sites, like other gambling blockers, and it also cuts the betting ads in your feed.
Does it work on iPhone?
Yes, with limits. On iPhone, QuietFeed blocks betting sites and uses Screen Time to limit betting apps. Once you give it permission, it switches off gambling ads in your Meta, Google, TikTok and X ad settings for you. Apple doesn't let any app hide ads inside Instagram or Facebook, so some will still show.
And on Android?
Android gets the full set. QuietFeed blocks betting apps and betting sites. Once you give it permission, it switches off gambling ads in your platform settings and mutes promo accounts. Some ads inside the Instagram and Facebook apps will still get through.
Will it catch everything?
No. Expect far fewer betting apps, sites and ads, not zero. New betting sites and influencer posts slip through, and we update our lists as we find them.
Is it free?
Joining the waitlist is free. QuietFeed will cost R49 a month at launch. We're building it now and will email you when you can try it. Join the waitlist.
What about my data?
QuietFeed never reads your messages or sees your passwords. We handle your details under POPIA.
I want to stop gambling. Is this enough?
It helps, but talk to someone too. The National Responsible Gambling Programme runs a free, confidential 24-hour line on 0800 006 008 (National Gambling Board).
