I want a permanent solution. Something I can't delete and/or edit.

There’s never a permanent solution if you yourself are the owner and controller of the device.

If you activate “Screen Time” restrictions, you’d have to give the code to someone else and tell them to keep it secret from you.

Wait, you want to prevent you from visiting websites? And you want it to be a permanent solution?

  1. Practice self control
  2. Have someone else set up parental controls and block them so you don’t know the password
  3. If you have no self control you’re going to find a way around #2

Parental controls only work for someone who is under 18. Apple automatically disables them if you age is 18+. Otherwise you are spot on.

These gambling apps are dangerous.

Any limitation you implement you can remove. Any other solutions would be enterprise focused and require MDM and associated security tools and IT to manage them. Really your answer is self control is your only option.
