Responsible Gaming

SharpRoster is not a sportsbook. You cannot bet here, we hold no funds, and we make no money when you win or lose. But we publish analysis used in connection with gambling, and pretending that carries no responsibility would be dishonest.

These are product commitments, not aspirations. Each is already the case, and each can be checked:

• No streaks or daily rewards. Nothing here gives you a reason to open the app today specifically. Engagement mechanics that pressure daily action are actively harmful in a product adjacent to gambling.
• No loss-chasing messages. We will never notify you about a losing run, and we will never construct urgency around a purchase. The moment someone is down is the moment they are most vulnerable to being sold something.
• Nothing celebrates. No confetti, no animation on a win, no hot badges. Losses render at the same visual weight as wins, everywhere.
• No prize contests, ever. No competition on SharpRoster awards money or anything of material value.
• No earnings claims. Nobody publishing here may claim you will make money. We enforce this, and violation costs selling privileges.

A strong record means someone has performed well over the sample we hold, measured consistently against others. It is not a prediction, and following someone with a good record does not make you likely to profit.

Records regress. Edges disappear. The most common way people lose money in this category is by treating a past result as a forecast — which is precisely why every figure here carries its sample size and its confidence interval, and why we withhold numbers we do not have enough data to support.

Gambling has become a problem, regardless of whether you are up or down, if you are:

• betting more than you planned, or more than you can afford to lose;
• chasing losses, or increasing stakes to get back to even;
• borrowing to bet, or using money meant for rent, bills, food, or family;
• hiding how much you bet from people close to you;
• feeling restless, anxious or irritable when you are not betting;
• continuing despite damage to your relationships, work, or finances.

The National Council on Problem Gambling offers a free, confidential self-assessment at ncpgambling.org.

• National Problem Gambling Helpline (US) — call or text 1-800-GAMBLER, or chat at ncpgambling.org/chat.
• Gamblers Anonymous — gamblersanonymous.org
• Gam-Anon, for family and friends — gam-anon.org

Many states run their own helplines with local treatment referrals. The NCPG directory lists them.

If you want out, email us and we will close your account and stop all marketing contact. We will not send you win-back offers, and we will not ask you to reconsider.

If you tell us you have a gambling problem, we will not market to you again, and we will honour that even if you later ask us to.

SharpRoster is for adults only — 18+, or 21+ where local law requires it. It is not directed at children and we do not knowingly permit accounts for anyone underage. If you believe a minor has accessed the service, tell us and we will close the account.
