turn off the wireless

What OS is she using? You could use parental control. Just google "parental control for windows 7" for example and you'll get lots of info, youtube videos, etc.... pretty much n00b proof.

or even better you can block the webside she goes to in your router firewall and tell her the webside is down if other websides are loading

Smash it with a blunt object.
There are more than one gambling websites.

Yep, Max is right. Gambling can be on more than one website. Its rather sad when people get this low. They turn into a little kid and you tell them not to do it, they keep doing it like your commands are just the wind....

alvine has the right idea. I don't think we want to have any damage of property. But setting the controls in the control panel can surely make it where only you can access the web browsers.. You don't have to block the internet. Just have a Passworded account that she won't know and have hers on lock down.

+1 Lock it up and swallow the key.

Er, password.

Er, don't tell her the password.
