Responsible Gambling

The Tipster is a data and analysis platform. We take responsible gambling seriously. This page contains information to help you stay in control and find support if you need it.

🆘 Need help now? Call the National Gambling Helpline free on 0808 8020 133 (24/7) or visit BeGambleAware.org.

Our Commitment

The Tipster provides sports analysis for entertainment and informational purposes only. We are not a bookmaker. We do not accept bets. Our tips are data-driven predictions — not guarantees — and no betting system can guarantee profit.

We are committed to ensuring our platform is never used by under-18s, and we encourage all users to set strict limits on their gambling activity.

Know the Signs

Gambling can become a problem when it stops being fun. Watch for these warning signs:

Betting more than you can afford to lose

Chasing losses with bigger bets

Gambling to escape stress or problems

Lying to others about your gambling

Borrowing money to gamble

Neglecting work, family or responsibilities

Feeling anxious or irritable when not gambling

Unable to stop even when you want to

Quick Self-Assessment

Answer honestly. If you answer yes to 2 or more, consider speaking to a professional.

Have you ever felt guilty about the way you gamble?

Have you ever needed to gamble with more money to get the same feeling?

Has gambling ever caused financial problems for you or your household?

Have you ever tried to stop or reduce your gambling without success?

Have you ever lied to someone close to you about your gambling?

Based on the PGSI (Problem Gambling Severity Index) questionnaire.
