The science behind reducing or quitting

Helping you reduce gambling

All gambling carries some risk, but if you choose to gamble, the app can help you reduce your risk of gambling harms by guiding you on how to follow the Lower Risk Gambling Guidelines and track your progress. The internationally recognised guidelines state you should follow all three of the below limits if you want to keep gambling but reduce many of the risks that come with it:

  • Gamble no more than 1% of your income
  • Gamble on no more than 4 days per month
  • Avoid more than 2 types of gambling per month

Helping you quit gambling

We've co-designed an action plan alongside international behavioural change specialists and people who have quit gambling to help you meet your goals. You can select from a hundred actions from 3 scientifically-backed categories that will help you succeed and make a long lasting change:

  • building understanding of yourself and your environment
  • managing your environment and the things you interact with
  • replacing the time that you may have otherwise spent gambling
