1. Age and legality
You must be at least 18, or the legal gambling age where you live if that is higher, to use the Service. Gambling laws differ by country, province, and state — it is your responsibility to know and follow the rules that apply to you.
2. Tracking is not a strategy
Keeping accurate records helps you understand what you actually spend and simplifies tax time. It does not improve your odds. No system, model, or ledger changes the mathematical edge held by the house or the sportsbook, and past results never predict future ones.
3. Warning signs
- Betting more than you can comfortably afford to lose.
- Chasing losses, or increasing stakes to get back to even.
- Borrowing money, or using credit or bill money, to gamble.
- Hiding the amount you gamble from family or friends.
- Gambling to escape stress, boredom, or low mood.
- Feeling anxious, irritable, or guilty about your gambling.

5. Self-exclusion and blocking tools
Most regulated operators offer deposit limits, time-outs, and self-exclusion. Blocking software such as Gamban, BetBlocker, and Gamstop (UK) can restrict access to gambling sites across your devices. If you have self-excluded, you can still use NetBetTracker to review your historical records — and you can delete your account and data at any time from Account Settings.
