Responsible Gambling
Sports research should never replace limits, judgment, or personal wellbeing. If gambling stops feeling like entertainment, pause and get help.
Get confidential help now
If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call or text 1-800-GAMBLER in the United States. The National Problem Gambling Helpline is available 24/7 and can connect you with local resources.
If you are in immediate danger or thinking about harming yourself, call emergency services. In the United States, call or text 988 for the Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.
Research does not remove risk
Every wager can lose. More data does not make an outcome certain, and a strong historical pattern can fail in the next game. Sports results are affected by performance, availability, officiating, game state, weather, variance, market movement, and information that may not be known or reflected in a tool.
Use PropMine as decision-support software—not as a promise, a source of guaranteed picks, or a reason to increase risk. Never gamble because a grade, trend, model, simulation, highlighted record, or generated answer appears confident.
Set boundaries before you begin
- Gamble only if you meet the legal age and other requirements in your jurisdiction.
- Set a fixed entertainment budget that will not affect rent, food, bills, savings, debt payments, or family needs.
- Set time limits and take regular breaks from both wagering and research.
- Never borrow money, use emergency funds, or use credit intended for necessities.
- Never chase a loss or increase stake size to recover money.
- Do not gamble while upset, impaired, exhausted, or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Keep complete records of deposits, withdrawals, wins, losses, and time spent.
- Use deposit, wager, time, cooling-off, and self-exclusion tools offered by your sportsbook or jurisdiction.
Know the warning signs
Consider stopping and seeking help if you notice any of the following:
- spending more money or time than you planned;
- chasing losses or feeling compelled to “win it back”;
- hiding gambling activity, losses, or account statements from others;
- borrowing, selling possessions, missing bills, or using money needed for necessities;
- feeling anxious, irritable, depressed, or unable to stop thinking about gambling;
- gambling to escape stress, grief, loneliness, or another problem;
- allowing gambling to affect work, school, sleep, relationships, or health; or
- believing a tool, system, streak, or past success makes future wins certain.
What to do if gambling is becoming a problem
- Stop wagering and step away from research and betting content.
- Tell someone you trust what is happening.
- Contact the National Problem Gambling Helpline or a qualified local service.
- Use the responsible-gambling controls at every operator you use, including cooling-off and self-exclusion.
- Block or limit access to gambling sites and payment methods where appropriate.
- Seek support from a licensed counselor or peer-support organization.
You do not need to wait for a crisis or financial loss to ask for help.
