Responsible Gambling
Betstinct is committed to promoting safe and responsible gambling.
Our Commitment
Betstinct is an analytics tool designed to help informed bettors find value in the market. We believe gambling should be entertaining and approached with discipline — never as a primary income source or a way to recover losses.
Signs of Problem Gambling
You may have a gambling problem if you:
- Bet more than you can afford to lose
- Chase losses by placing bigger or more bets
- Lie to family or friends about your gambling
- Borrow money or sell possessions to gamble
- Feel restless or irritable when not gambling
- Gamble to escape problems or relieve stress
- Feel you need to bet increasing amounts for excitement
Tips for Responsible Gambling
- Set a budget — only bet what you can afford to lose
- Set time limits — take regular breaks
- Never chase losses — accept losses as the cost of entertainment
- Don't gamble under the influence — avoid alcohol or substances while betting
- Balance with other activities — gambling should not be your only hobby
- Use self-exclusion tools — all major US sportsbooks offer deposit limits and self-exclusion

Information and advice
Sportsbook Self-Exclusion Tools
All licensed US sportsbooks are required to offer responsible gambling tools. Look for options like deposit limits, loss limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion in your sportsbook's account settings. You can also contact your state's gaming commission to be added to the statewide voluntary exclusion registry.
