Responsible gambling
Betting should stay entertainment. Set a budget you can afford to lose, set a time limit, and never chase losses. If betting is costing you money, time or sleep you didn't plan to spend, or you feel you can't stop, free and confidential help is available.

Signs it may be time to talk to someone
- Betting more than you planned, or more often.
- Borrowing money, or using money meant for bills, to bet.
- Chasing losses, or feeling restless when you try to stop.
- Hiding your betting from people close to you.
Limits and self-exclusion
Most sportsbooks let you set deposit, loss and time limits, take a break or self-exclude from your account settings. Betticus takes no bets and holds no money, so those controls live with your sportsbook.
