Available tools 5

Read directly from the server with tools/list, grouped by what they act on. If a tool disappears, we record the date.

gambling

check_gambling_site

Checks web addresses against the Silex blocklist of about 294,000 gambling, betting and casino domains (the list Silex's iPhone app and free browser extension block). Sub-domains match their parent. Use when someone asks whether a site is a gambling or betting site, or whether a blocker would stop it.

find_gambling_help

Free, confidential gambling helplines and crisis lines for a country, checked by hand by the Silex team. Use when someone wants to talk to a person about gambling, is struggling after losses, or seems in distress. Returns country-specific lines where verified, plus free online options that work anywhere, and debt-advice services for the US and UK.

gambling_self_check

The Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI), a validated 9-question screener. Call without answers to get the questions and answer scale; ask the user each question, then call again with their 9 answers (0 = never, 1 = sometimes, 2 = most of the time, 3 = almost always) to get the score and band. It is a screening tool, not a diagnosis.

block

block_gambling

Step-by-step plan to block gambling on an iPhone, an Android phone, or at the bank, with the layers that actually hold (system-wide DNS filtering, locked app installs, bank gambling blocks, self-exclusion) and what doesn't work. Use when someone wants to block gambling sites, apps or payments.

self

find_self_exclusion

How to self-exclude from gambling in a country: the official national scheme (e.g. GAMSTOP in the UK, OASIS in Germany, RGIAJ in Spain, ANJ in France, Brazil's federal platform), what it covers, its terms, and the official sign-up link. Self-exclusion is free and can't be undone during a craving. Use when someone wants to stop themselves gambling, close their betting accounts, or block licensed operators.
