NuroBets Responsible Gambling

18+ only. 21+ in states where required. Not financial advice. 1-800-GAMBLER.

Core Principles

1. Gambling is entertainment, not income.
2. Only wager what you can afford to lose.
3. Chasing losses is the #1 destructive pattern. Don't.
4. Time and money limits are non-negotiable. Set them before you start.
5. If you can't stop, stop anyway and get help.

Warning Signs

If any of these apply, take a break and talk to someone:

• Betting more than you planned, repeatedly
• Lying to family or friends about how much you bet
• Borrowing money to bet
• Gambling to escape stress, sadness, boredom
• Feeling anxious or irritable when you can't bet
• Skipping work, school, or obligations to bet
• Trying to win back losses ("chasing")
• Bet size creeping upward after losses
• Hiding accounts, bets, or statements
• Thinking about betting constantly, even in other settings

Bot Tools

• /self-exclude [7|30|90|365] - instant block. Cannot be reversed early.
• /bankroll - calculate proper unit size based on bankroll
• /daily - free daily credits; removes the temptation to use real money for casual engagement
• /report - fast-route to help resources in DM

Set limits in your real sportsbook account too. DK, FD, MGM all support deposit limits, time limits, and self-exclusion.

Safer Betting Practices

Money rules

• Keep gambling funds in a separate account or clearly labeled envelope
• Use only profit money or leisure budget, never necessary expenses
• Set a weekly max loss before the week starts
• Set a weekly max win too (yes, a cap on profits before pulling back)
• Never gamble with borrowed or credit money

Time rules

• Decide how many hours per week upfront
• Set a timer on betting sessions
• Don't gamble when drunk, high, emotional, or exhausted
• Don't gamble when alone for extended periods if you struggle with isolation

Data rules

• Track every bet (NuroBets /bet command does this automatically for virtual bets; use a spreadsheet or app for real bets)
• Review your ROI monthly, not daily
• If 6-month ROI is negative, you're losing. Stop or reduce stakes.

What NuroBets Will Never Do

• Guarantee wins or "locks"
• Tell you to increase your bet size to chase losses
• Celebrate or mock losing streaks
• Share your betting data with third parties beyond payment processors
• Sell your information to sportsbooks
• Accept minors as users
• Promote depositing money you can't afford to lose

Age Verification

Signup requires age verification. Violations lead to:

• Immediate account closure
• Refund of any subscription payments
• Permanent ban tied to Discord ID + email + device fingerprint

If you're under 18 (or 21 where required), please leave this platform and come back when you meet the legal age.

Treatment Options

Many people fully recover from problem gambling. Common paths:

• Gamblers Anonymous (free, peer support, in-person + online)
• Cognitive behavioral therapy
• Inpatient treatment for severe cases
• Financial counseling to manage debt
• Family therapy when relationships are damaged
