Lock yourself out tonight

Friction beats willpower. Each of these makes the next bet harder to place.

  1. Delete every sportsbook and prediction-market app. Then clear saved logins in your browser.
  2. Self-exclude inside each app before you delete it. Most books keep it under Account, then Responsible Gaming. Pick the longest option they offer.
  3. Join your state's voluntary self-exclusion list. Most states with legal sports betting run one. Search your state name plus "voluntary self-exclusion".
  4. Ask your bank to block gambling transactions. Call your bank or card issuer and ask whether they can block gambling charges (merchant code 7995) on your cards.
  5. Install a blocker. BetBlocker is free. Gamban is paid. Either one blocks betting sites across your devices.
  6. Unsubscribe from every sportsbook email and text. Reply STOP to promo texts.
  7. Mute betting content. Picks accounts, parlay pages, sportsbook promos. Keep the sports, lose the lines.
  8. Tell one person you trust. Secrets make urges louder.

Unbeaten is a self-help tool. It is not medical treatment and doesn't replace a professional.
