Responsible Gambling

BetBuddy tracks odds movement, applies statistical models and publishes the outcome of its selections. It operates in paper mode: it does not place bets, does not hold funds, does not accept wagers and is not connected to any bookmaker account. Every stake shown on the site is simulated.

Any real bet you place is your own decision, made with your own money, at your own risk, with a bookmaker BetBuddy has no relationship with.

Betting is not investing and it is not a source of income. Losing runs are a normal, expected feature of even a well-modelled approach, and they can be long. A strategy with a positive tracked record can still lose money over any given week, month or season.

Only ever stake money you can afford to lose completely without it affecting your rent, bills, food, debts or the people who depend on you. Never bet with borrowed money or credit.

BetBuddy publishes its complete tracked record on the results and performance history page precisely so that it can be judged honestly. That record describes what already happened. It is not a forecast, not a promise, and not a guarantee.

BetBuddy does not guarantee profitable outcomes and never will. Anyone in this industry who guarantees profit is not telling you the truth.

Gambling law differs from country to country and sometimes between regions of the same country. You are responsible for complying with the law where you live, including any licensing, advertising or taxation rules that apply to you.

You must be at least 18, or the minimum legal gambling age in your jurisdiction if that is higher. BetBuddy is not intended for anyone under that age.

• Decide a budget before you start, and treat it as a spending limit, not a target to win back.
• Keep betting money separate from money you need for anything else.
• Set deposit, loss and time limits with your bookmaker, and keep them.
• Record what you actually staked and what actually happened, not what you remember happening.
• Take regular breaks, and never bet to relieve stress, boredom or low mood.
• Do not increase stakes to recover a loss. Chasing losses is how a bad day becomes a serious problem.
• Do not bet while under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
• If betting has stopped being enjoyable, stop.

Consider getting support if you are betting more than you planned, hiding it from people close to you, borrowing money to bet, feeling anxious or irritable when you cannot bet, or betting to recover previous losses.

Free, confidential support is available. Most countries have a national gambling helpline, and the following services are independent of BetBuddy:

• BeGambleAware — advice and treatment services (UK).
• GamCare — helpline and live chat support (UK).
• Gamblers Anonymous — international peer support meetings.
• Gambling Therapy — multilingual online support worldwide.

Most bookmakers also offer self-exclusion and deposit limits directly in your account settings, and national self-exclusion schemes exist in many countries.
