@Berry1: Not directly, but you could block specific sites using URL Blocking. The real answer lies in switching the router away from EE's DNS, which as a generic ISP DNS will only block sites prohibited by Court Order. To a child-friendly DNS such as 1 of Configure your router to use Norton ConnectSafe. I suggest Policy 3. You can also add on a content lock to the mobile account which will stop any access to over 18 websites. This will include Gambling. Our mobile care team will be able to add this for you and also talk you through your spend cap options and charge to mobile options. These will prevent any additional spending outside of your EE monthly plan.
URL blocking on the Bright Box router allows you to restrict up to 30 websites from being accessed by either all computers, or specific computers or devices on your home network.
The example below shows how you would block a particular computer from viewing a particular website, for example www.example.com.
- Applying the gambling filter makes it easier to block a group of some of the most popular websites within the gambling category. When building your blocklist, all you have to do is click the plus button beside the category marked gambling. Setting up recurring block sessions is similar if you're using Freedom on an iOS device.
- This is the default setting for new and existing customers with Content Lock enabled. You get access to social networking sites but not to 18-rated content in accordance with BBFC (British Board of Film Classification) guidelines or to pornography sites. Off This gives full access to the internet with no filter including to 18-rated content.
- People who have gambling problems and decide to stop can choose to self-exclude from gambling, use software to block online gambling sites and self-exclude physically from betting shops and casinos. While these are all helpful ways for people to get support, many banks believe they can do more to support self-exclusion too.

Note: we don't recommend this as a complete parental control solution. Instead you may be interested in our Norton™ Family offer.
BT Parental Controls assess each site that is accessed on your home connection. It works by looking at the main purpose of the site. It takes into account the first part of the site address, such as; 'www.btcom' and not the information after this.
Sites are categorised according to the primary purpose of the site, not each of the individual pages. If the site comes under one of the blocking categories you've set to block, then it will redirect the user to a blocked page. If you're the account holder, you'll be able to override a blocked page.
With BT Parental Controls you can benefit from these key features:

We recommend that you remove all other software that cover your home internet connection before setting up BT Parental Controls.
