It sounds like you've got your hands full with web filtering and gambling sites – quite the tech adventure, isn't it? The idea of using Fortigate's filter to exclude specific sites like HKJC is pretty intriguing.

You can use either web rating override or URL filter in Web filter profile to achieve this. Please refer to the following KBs for more information:

Just go into the web filter settings, find the gambling category, and then add HKJC as an exception. This way, the filter won't block it, and you can still access the site while keeping the rest of your filters in place.

You can add a new URL filter and set it to “Allow” for the specific HKJC domain Make sure this exception rule is at the top of the list so it overrides the general gambling block.

From what I know, Fortigate's gambling web filter can be a bit tricky when it comes to excluding specific sites like HKJC. You might need to manually whitelist that site so it bypasses the filter—kind of like a workaround. I’ve mostly dealt with blocking nz online casino sites, but when I was trying to set up filters for certain sites, it took some trial and error. You might have to play around with custom settings. Anyone else have a similar experience with this?

A criação de uma lista de exclusão específica para sites de jogos de azar é uma excelente iniciativa para promover o jogo responsável. Essa medida permite que as pessoas tenham mais controle sobre seus hábitos e evitem possíveis problemas associados ao vício em jogos. Além disso, contribui para a transparência e segurança no ambiente online. A inclusão de ferramentas como essa reforça o compromisso das plataformas com a proteção dos usuários. O esporte da sorte apostas também pode ser uma alternativa divertida e equilibrada para quem busca diversão sem excessos, mantendo sempre a responsabilidade em primeiro lugar.
