AI risk analysis
Blocklists and rules come first; for a new site, the configured AI reviews its public page. On supported devices, part of the on-screen text — with personal details removed — can also be used as evidence.
How decisions are made →AI protection for a healthier everyday life
Quit gambling,
get your everyday life back.
So you never have to hold on alone. Dando analyzes and blocks access to gambling sites and connects you with someone who supports you — a partner designed for recovery.

Our privacy promise
Your guardian cannot see your browsing history
Dando shares with your guardian only whether blocking is working. Which sites you open and what you search for is shown to no one — not your guardian, not the operator.What your guardian sees
- Whether blocking is on or off, and alerts about it
- Your days without gambling
- Release requests (with the name and contact of who asks)
- Messages you exchange
Anonymous community in the app
Don’t carry it alone: share it anonymously
The Dando app has an anonymous board where people facing the same struggle share how they are doing. Other users never see who wrote what.- Galleries by topic: free talk, gambling, jobs and more
- Cheer each other on with likes and comments
- Gambling promotion, contact details and links are blocked; the operator handles reports
The board is available in the app only.
WHY DANDO
When willpower is not enough,
one more layer of protection
From detecting and blocking access to connecting a guardian, one app covers what recovery needs.Browser access blocking
DNS VPN protection is built for Android and iOS, backed by address checking on Android, a Safari extension and the iOS 26 URL filter on iPhone.
See what is covered →Recovery together with a guardian
Turning protection off requires a one-time approval from the guardian you chose, which makes impulsive workarounds harder.
See how it works →WHO WE HELP
For those starting over,
and those standing beside them.
From personal recovery to youth protection and organizational prevention, we want to help everyone keep their distance from gambling.People who want to quit gambling
When the urge comes, one more pause before reaching the site. Build an environment for recovery with access blocking and a guardian connection.
Turn on PC blocking →Family, partners and guardians
Connect with the person’s agreement and follow protection status, release requests and SOS together. It is designed for talking when help is needed, not for watching browsing history.
How guardians connect →Minors, parents and schools
So curiosity does not turn into risky access. We discuss adding access blocking to prevention education, with age-appropriate guidance and parental involvement.
Prevention partnership inquiries →Gambling prevention and recovery services
So protection continues into daily life after counseling and education. With participants’ consent and on-site conditions, we review pilots and integration.
Pilot inquiries for organizations →Service members and military counselors
We are preparing tools that support voluntary recovery and gambling prevention for service members, considering personal-device rules, privacy and security requirements.
Military partnership inquiries →Protection status alone cannot confirm that someone has stopped gambling. Organization and military features are at the discussion stage and do not mean supply contracts, official partnerships or management tools for organizations.
HOW IT WORKS
No complicated setup —
protection keeps working quietly
- 01Install the app and allow permissions
Follow the guide to set the VPN and protection permissions your device needs.
- 02Analyze risky access
Domains and risk signals are classified on supported network connections.
- 03Block risky domains and URLs
Access is blocked by the DNS VPN and supported address checks. How the block screen and alerts look depends on the operating system and feature.
- 04Status and conversation with your guardian
The guardian installs Dando too, chooses “Start as a guardian” and connects with a one-time code. If protection turns off or you send an SOS, the guardian app is notified.
BROWSER COVERAGE
From Android to iPhone,
protection that fits each device
Both platforms block risky domains with a DNS VPN. Android adds accessibility-based address checking; iPhone adds a Safari extension. The iOS 26 URL filter compares URLs in supported browsers and apps against the blocklist.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Does it block every browser and private mode?
On both Android and iOS, VPN protection applies to connections that use the system DNS. Address checking, the Safari extension and the iOS 26 URL filter each cover different apps and need different permissions. Blocking every browser or workaround is not guaranteed.
Does the AI collect everything I look at?
It does not decrypt all traffic or record every screen. Address checking sends a cleaned-up URL to the server, and to judge a site the server may fetch its public page, or Android and Safari may send part of the on-screen text with personal details removed. Guardians never see visited sites or screen content.
Can I use it on iPhone and Safari?
A DNS VPN, Safari extension, Screen Time integration and the iOS 26 URL filter are built for iOS — it is not Android-only. The full iOS build, real-device testing and the permissions and server setup needed for release are still being checked, so it is not yet offered as ready to use.
