DandoProtecting a child’s phone from gambling and adult sites
Updated
Combine age-appropriate conversation, device restrictions and transparent filtering to reduce exposure to gambling and adult sites.
- Explain the reason for restrictions.
- Use device and account controls together.
- No filter replaces supervision and conversation.
Set boundaries together
Discuss gambling adverts, in-app purchases and suspicious links in age-appropriate language. Agree what the child should do if an unwanted page opens. Review the device’s family controls and permissions together.
Use filtering transparently
Domain filters can reduce access to listed sites, but cannot judge every message, game or shared-platform post. Check protection after system changes and keep the setup current.
Dando’s mobile apps are awaiting release. Follow current availability information before planning installation. Linked protection does not give a guardian access to browsing or search history.
Frequently asked questions
Can a filter block every harmful post?
No. Shared platforms and changing addresses limit domain filtering.
Does a guardian connection show the child’s history?
No. Dando shares protection status and requests rather than visited addresses and searches.
