BLOCK BETMGM.
Untilt blocks BetMGM on your iPhone — the app and betmgm.com stop loading while a wall is up. BetMGM's responsible gaming menu offers timeouts and exclusion at the account level; this page covers the difference between closing an account and closing a phone.
What BetMGM's own tools do
BetMGM provides deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion through its responsible gaming settings (branded GameSense in most states). Exclusion terms range from days to years depending on the state, and several states tie BetMGM exclusion into their statewide programs.
Account tools close the account. Not the phone.
A timed-out BetMGM account has no effect on the app sitting on your phone or the site loading in Safari — and none at all on the other books. Operators run exclusion per-account, not per-phone.
Untilt works at the layer the operator can't: this iPhone. BetMGM's domains are covered by default, and the same wall covers DraftKings, FanDuel, Caesars, and the rest simultaneously.

| Blocks the website | Partially | No | No | Yes, while up |
| You hold the override | Your passcode | Reinstall | Locked for the term | Not mid-wall |
| Covers other books too | Per-app setup | No | No | Every covered book at once |
| Requires an account | No | No | Yes | No |
Three ways to block BetMGM on iPhone
1 · Screen Time. Free and built in: set an app limit or block the website under Settings → Screen Time. The honest part: you know your own passcode, "Ignore Limit" is one tap, and web workarounds are endless. It's a speed bump you own the keys to. Full walkthrough in Screen Time vs a DNS wall.
2 · Delete the app + restrict downloads. Deleting BetMGM helps for a night — until a two-minute reinstall. Pairing it with Screen Time's purchase restrictions is stronger, but the website still loads in every browser, and the restriction shares that same passcode problem.
3 · A device-level wall (Untilt). Untilt filters this iPhone's traffic on the device through Apple's Network Extension. While a wall is up, BetMGM and every other covered service stop loading — app and website, Safari and Chrome. Walls are timed: free 1-hour walls forever, longer with Pro, and mid-wall there is nothing to toggle off. No account; the filter and its receipts stay on your phone.
60-second setup
Install Untilt, approve the shield when iOS asks (a one-time local Network Extension — traffic is checked on the device, not routed through anyone's servers), then press and hold for two seconds. The wall seals; BetMGM stops loading. When it matters most — mid-tilt, before the game, the moment the deposit urge hits — the whole ritual is one hold.
Questions
Does blocking BetMGM cover MGM's casino apps too?
The default list targets BetMGM's betting and gaming domains. If an MGM gaming surface loads during a wall, report the miss from the app.
Do I need a BetMGM account for Untilt to block it?
No. Untilt never touches your BetMGM account — it blocks the domains on your device. No account, no login, nothing shared with the operator.
Does this block the website too, or just the app?
Both. The wall filters DNS on the device, so covered domains stop loading in the app, Safari, Chrome, and in-app browsers alike.
Does it work on cellular, or only Wi-Fi?
Both. The filter runs on the iPhone itself, so it holds on 5G, LTE, and any Wi-Fi network without router changes.
Can I take the wall down early?
Free walls run one hour and then end on their own. Pro walls of 24 hours or more require a deliberate written exit — friction on purpose. Untilt never claims to be impossible to bypass; iOS gives the phone's owner final control. It claims to make the next bet slower than the urge.
