Sports Betting. Are you being played?
Its not on you.
If you’re feeling stuck or starting to question the game, we’re here to help. Free, confidential support is available.
It's not on you.
There are many psychological tactics that sports betting companies use to get you start betting and keep betting. From "Dark Nudges" to "Hospital Passes", sport betting companies know how to hijack your psychology and get you to bet on your favourite sport.
We've launched a campaign to help people understand these tactics so they're better informed and able to see who's really pulling the strings.
If you feel you've been played, or someone in your life has been played, we offer free and confidential support to help you get out of the trap.
