Responsible Gaming

Our Commitment

At OddsRX, we believe in responsible, informed sports betting. While we provide data-driven analysis and predictions, we recognize that gambling carries inherent risks. We are committed to promoting responsible gaming practices and providing resources for those who may need help.

Gambling Should Be Entertainment

Sports betting should be a form of entertainment, not a way to make money or solve financial problems. Please keep these principles in mind:

• Set a budget: Only wager what you can afford to lose. Never bet money needed for essential expenses like rent, bills, or food.
• Set time limits: Don't let gambling consume excessive time that should be spent on work, family, or other responsibilities.
• Never chase losses: Losing is part of gambling. Trying to win back losses often leads to bigger losses.
• Don't bet under the influence: Avoid gambling when impaired by alcohol, drugs, or strong emotions.
• Keep it fun: If gambling stops being enjoyable, it's time to take a break.

Understanding the Odds

No betting system, model, or prediction service—including OddsRX—can guarantee profits. Here's what you should understand:

• The house always has an edge built into the odds (the "vig" or "juice")
• Even with a statistical edge, short-term results are highly variable
• Past performance does not guarantee future results
• Variance and losing streaks are normal, even with good bets
• Professional bettors experience losses regularly

Warning Signs of Problem Gambling

Be honest with yourself. Problem gambling can affect anyone. Warning signs include:

• Betting more than you can afford to lose
• Borrowing money or selling possessions to gamble
• Lying to family or friends about gambling
• Feeling anxious, irritable, or restless when not gambling
• Gambling to escape problems or relieve negative feelings
• Chasing losses with bigger bets
• Neglecting work, school, or family responsibilities
• Failed attempts to cut back or stop gambling
• Gambling until all your money is gone
• Thinking about gambling constantly

If you recognize these signs in yourself or someone you know, please seek help.

Self-Exclusion Tools

Most legal sportsbooks offer responsible gaming tools. We encourage you to use them:

• Deposit limits: Set daily, weekly, or monthly limits on how much you can deposit
• Wager limits: Limit the size of individual bets
• Loss limits: Set a cap on how much you can lose in a time period
• Time limits: Set session time reminders
• Cool-off periods: Take short breaks from your account
• Self-exclusion: Voluntarily ban yourself from gambling for extended periods

Legal Age Requirements

You must be of legal gambling age in your jurisdiction to use sports betting services. In most U.S. states where sports betting is legal, the minimum age is 21. It is illegal for minors to gamble, and we do not condone underage gambling.

Know Your Local Laws

Sports betting laws vary by jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to ensure that any wagering activity you engage in is legal in your location. OddsRX does not encourage or facilitate illegal gambling.
