Responsible Gambling

Gambling carries risks. Bet responsibly.

Gambling money will never fix a financial problem. If you wager to recover a debt, pay rent, or chase a loss, you make things worse. Stop now and call the helpline below.

BetHoop is an analysis tool, not a sportsbook. We do not accept wagers or process bets. Because our service is used by people who place bets, we take responsible gambling very seriously. Our commitment: give you the best possible statistical tools, never push you to gamble, and tell you about help resources when gambling becomes a problem.

BetHoop helps you analyze. It does not decide for you.

Our analyses are statistical estimates. They never tell you “bet X amount now”. The choice to bet, the amount, the timing, the operator and the strategy remain exclusively yours. No model, however sophisticated, can predict the outcome of a single game with certainty. Treat our analyses as one input among many, never as a sure thing.

Self-assessment

If you wonder about your own gambling pattern, the validated Problem Gambling Severity Index (PGSI) takes three minutes, is anonymous and free. Available from the French public health service at evalujeu.fr (FR), or as part of the National Council on Problem Gambling self-screen at ncpgambling.org/help-treatment.

How to bet safely

  • Set a strict budget for the month. Never gamble money you can't afford to lose.
  • Set a time limit per session. Walk away when it's reached.
  • Never chase losses. The next bet does not “owe” you a recovery.
  • Don't gamble under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Don't gamble when angry, depressed or stressed.
  • Keep gambling as one activity among many. It should not crowd out family, work or hobbies.

Warning signs

Consider stopping and reaching out for help if you notice any of the following:

  • You think about betting most of the day.
  • You bet more than you intended to, or more often than you intended to.
  • You hide your gambling from people close to you.
  • You borrow money — or take money from accounts not meant for betting — to keep going.
  • You feel restless or irritable when not betting.
  • Your finances, work or relationships are starting to suffer.

Self-exclusion

From operators. In France, you can request a voluntary nationwide self-exclusion (covering all licensed online and brick-and-mortar gambling) via the ANJ: anj.fr — self-exclusion. Valid three years, renewable. In the United States, most states operate an official voluntary self-exclusion list.

From BetHoop. If you feel that receiving our analyses harms your practice, write to hello@bethoopai.com with the subject “Self-exclusion”. We close your account immediately, no questions asked, and commit to refuse any new signup under the same email for the duration you request (minimum 3, 6 or 12 months). A self-service self-exclusion feature from your dashboard will ship shortly.

Our commitments

  • We publish no individual gain promise nor any “guaranteed ROI”. Marketing performance figures displayed on our site are statistical averages bounded by stated assumptions (reference volume, disciplined pick following) detailed in our Terms (Section 5.3).
  • We never send promotional push emails to a user who opted out of gambling content or who requested self-exclusion.
  • Our affiliate program forbids partners from promising gains or promoting BetHoop to a predominantly minor audience (see Terms, Section 8).
  • Our analyses are identical for every user on a given plan: no individual profiling, no personalized betting incentive (see Privacy Policy, Section 10).
  • Our service is strictly reserved to adults of legal gambling age (21 in the US, 19 in most Canadian provinces, 18 in France and the EU).
