Who we are,
and how we write.

Why this exists

Gambling has never been easier to reach: an app in your pocket, an offer in your inbox, a free bet before every match. We think quitting should be just as easy to start. This site is here to help people do that today, whether or not they ever download our app: the bank blocks, self-exclusion registers, account closures and helplines are all free to use.

How our guides are written

• Drafted with AI help, then read and approved by a person before anything is published. Nothing goes live automatically.
• Checked against public sources, listed at the end of every guide: health services, gambling charities, regulators and the official schemes themselves.
• Free options first. Where a free tool does the job, we say so before we mention our app.
• No medical claims, no invented statistics. We're a support tool, not a treatment, and we point to helplines and doctors for that.
• Warm, never shaming. We write for someone having a hard day.
• Dated and kept up to date. Every guide shows when it was last updated.

Where our directory data comes from

The bank blocks, self-exclusion schemes and account closure pages are built from each bank's, scheme's or operator's own published pages, checked automatically and by a person where anything is unclear, and re-checked regularly. Every entry links to its source. If something's wrong or out of date, tell us and we'll fix it.

How we make money

The app has a 3-day free trial and then a yearly or monthly plan. The urge screen and helplines in the app are always free. We take no money from gambling companies, run no gambling ads, and never sell your data. What we keep, and why.
