Parental Controls for Jackpocket

Jackpocket is only available to eligible users who are 18 and older (21+ in some states). If you share a device with others in your household, iOS and Android offer built-in parental controls that offer an additional layer of security by restricting access to the Jackpocket app.

iOS — Screen Time

Apple's Screen Time feature lets you restrict app access with a passcode only you know.

To block Jackpocket:

1. Go to Settings > Screen Time
2. Tap Turn On Screen Time if not already enabled
3. Tap App Limits > Add Limit
4. Select the Gambling & Betting category, or search for Jackpocket specifically
5. Set a daily time limit of 1 minute, then tap Add
6. Enable Block at End of Limit, and set a Screen Time Passcode when prompted

To block all new app downloads:

1. Go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions
2. Enable restrictions, then tap iTunes & App Store Purchases
3. Set Installing Apps to Don't Allow

Tip: Use Family Sharing (Settings > [Your Name] > Family Sharing) to manage a child's device remotely from your own iPhone without needing physical access to their device.

 

Android — Google Family Link

Google Family Link enables parents to monitor a child's Google account and any Android device they're signed into.

To block Jackpocket via Family Link:

1. Install the Google Family Link app on your device
2. Set up supervision for your child's Google account
3. In Family Link, select your child's account and tap Controls > App activity
4. Find Jackpocket and tap Block

To restrict app installs by age rating:

1. On the child's device, open the Google Play Store
2. Tap the profile icon > Settings > Family > Parental controls
3. Turn on parental controls and set a PIN
4. Under Apps & games, set the maximum rating to Everyone or Teen

Tip: Family Link also lets you set daily screen time limits and bedtime schedules, and approve or deny any new app download requests in real time.

Additional Steps We Recommend

• Keep your passcodes and passwords secure. Never share your device passcode, Screen Time passcode, Family Link PIN, or Jackpocket account password with anyone. If you believe your credentials have been compromised, update them immediately through your device settings or account profile.
• Log out of Jackpocket on any shared device after each session.
• If you believe a minor has created a Jackpocket account, contact our support team immediately.
