Call or text 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537), 24 hours a day, anywhere in the United States, or chat at ncpgambling.org. It is free, confidential, and staffed by people trained for exactly this. Gamblers Anonymous meetings are listed at gamblersanonymous.org.

Signs worth noticing

• Betting more than you planned, or chasing a loss with a bigger bet.
• Hiding bets or losses from people close to you.
• Borrowing, or using money meant for rent, bills or food.
• Feeling restless or irritable when not betting, or betting to feel better.
• Watching games only because money is on them.

One of these is a reason to pause. Several are a reason to call.

Taking a break from getBettor

We take no bets and hold no money, so there is nothing here to exclude yourself from financially. What you can turn off is the flow of picks, lines and alerts:

• Stop the alerts. Account → turn off every email and push. Every email has an unsubscribe link too.
• Drop to Free. Account → cancel the plan (website) or iPhone Settings → Subscriptions (iPhone app). Free shows stats and the record, no upcoming picks and no live board.
• Delete the account. Account → Delete account, or getbettor.pro/delete-account. It is immediate and we do not keep a way back in.
• Ask us to keep you out. Email support@getbettor.pro and we will close the account and decline to open another one for that email for the period you name (six months, one year, or for good).

Self-exclusion from sportsbooks

Self-exclusion is a legal program run by each state that bars you from licensed sportsbooks for a period you choose. getBettor cannot enroll you; the sportsbook or the state regulator does. Start here:

• Arizona: the Arizona Department of Gaming self-exclusion program, gaming.az.gov, and the Division of Problem Gambling at 1-800-NEXT-STEP.
• Other states: the National Council on Problem Gambling keeps the list of every state's program and help line at ncpgambling.org/help-by-state.
• Inside a sportsbook app: every licensed book has deposit limits, time limits, cool-off periods and self-exclusion under Responsible Gaming in its settings. They take effect at once.

How we try to keep it honest

• Every pick is saved before the game and graded afterwards; losses stay on the record.
• We never call a bet certain, and the words that pretend otherwise are banned from the product.
• Stakes are shown in units, not dollars, and the only bet-size advice we give is a small, fixed share of money set aside for it.
• Nobody under 21 should be here. If you know of an account that belongs to someone younger, tell us.
