Responsible Gambling

Know the signs

Gambling may be becoming a problem if you are spending more than you can afford, borrowing money to bet, betting to escape stress, chasing losses, or if it is affecting your work, sleep, or relationships. If any of this sounds familiar, reaching out early makes a difference.

Tools that help

Most licensed sportsbooks offer deposit limits, time limits, cooling-off periods, and self-exclusion. Consider setting limits before you bet, and use self-exclusion if you need a longer break. Many states also run voluntary self-exclusion programs.

A note on TrackFutures

Because TrackFutures does not take wagers, we cannot set deposit limits or process self-exclusion on your behalf — those tools live with the sportsbook where you place bets. What we can do is keep the numbers honest: we show real, mark-to-market values, not hype.

Tracking is deliberately unflattering. Adding a slip — by hand or by screenshot — puts your total exposure and unrealized loss in one place, which is uncomfortable by design and easier to act on than a stack of separate apps. Mark-to-market value is an estimate of what a position is worth on current odds; it is not cash, and it is not a figure you can withdraw.

If you have self-excluded, or you are taking a break, tracking old positions can pull you back toward betting. It is fine to close the app. You can delete your account and its history at any time from Settings.

Our paid plan is a subscription for software. It has nothing to do with wagering, we never take deposits or hold funds, and nothing on TrackFutures is a bonus, promotion, or inducement to bet.
