Gambling Should Be Fun, Not Harmful

Gambling carries risk. Please read this page carefully and use the resources below if you need help.

Our Commitment

Football Bet Builder is an information tool designed to help users make more informed decisions. We do not operate gambling services, accept bets, or handle money.

However, we recognise that our tool is used in conjunction with betting, and we take responsible gambling seriously. We encourage all users to:

  • Only gamble with money you can afford to lose
  • Set a budget before you start and stick to it
  • Never chase losses - accept them as part of gambling
  • Take regular breaks and don't let gambling dominate your time
  • Never gamble when upset, stressed, or under the influence
  • Keep gambling fun - if it stops being enjoyable, stop

  • Set time limits - Decide how long you'll spend gambling and stick to it.
  • Don't chase losses - Losing is part of gambling. Accept losses and walk away.
  • Take breaks - Step away regularly. Don't let gambling sessions run for hours.
  • Don't borrow to gamble - Never use credit cards, loans, or borrowed money.
  • Balance gambling with other activities - Keep up hobbies, social life, and responsibilities.
  • Don't gamble when emotional - Avoid betting when upset, stressed, drunk, or trying to escape problems.
  • Use bookmaker tools - Set deposit limits, loss limits, and session reminders.
