GamBlock gambling prevention software, available here: www.gamblock.com/

This product appears to be the only one of its kind that does not require a password and, as such, cannot be removed at will.   It also appears to be easily accessed over the internet, covers every site associated with gambling (including those developed after the installation of GamBlock), and can be downloaded and implemented by a partner without the gamblers consent. The cost appears to start at $US40 for a 12 month licence.
