Block your kids' access.

You want kids to enjoy the freedom and sense of discovery that the Internet has to offer. But you also realize that the virtual world has places where kids don't belong – like online gambling sites. That’s why BCLC is offering content-blocking software called BetStopper, free to all residents of British Columbia.

What is BetStopper and how does it work?

BetStopper is specialized software that is custom built to block access to Internet gambling websites and content.

• It can prevent entry into gambling websites while allowing parents password-protected access to such sites if they choose.
• It can report the number of times someone tries to enter a blocked website.
• It can alert instantly via email or phone when someone tries to visit a blocked website.

Where can I download BetStopper?

It’s quick, easy and absolutely free. Simply click on BetStopper.ca and follow the directions on the screen.

Once downloaded, your BetStopper account is licensed for up to five computers. You can create 10 unique users within your household. This allows you to enable blocking features for users who are underage and disable it for adults to allow full access.

What other steps can I take to prevent kids from gambling online?

• When you leave your computer, be sure to log off.
• Don't share your credit card or bank account details with those under 19.
• Protect your PlayNow.com account information, including login and passwords.
• Create separate profiles and passwords for everyone who uses a shared computer. That way nobody else will have access to information or programs you choose not to share.
