## Our commitment

- **No guarantees, ever.** In sports anything can happen. We never promise guaranteed wins or “locks”.
- **We show our losses.** Our free-pick archive lists every result, including the picks that lost.
- **You choose your risk.** The AI Safe Score (1–99) tells you how safe a pick is, so you can skip the ones that don’t fit your strategy.
- **No pressure.** One plan, a 3-day money-back guarantee and cancel anytime.
- **We are not a sportsbook.** We don’t accept bets, hold deposits or earn from your losses.

## Bet smarter, bet safer

1. **Set a bankroll** — an amount you can afford to lose completely — and never top it up from money meant for rent, bills or savings.
2. **Use a fixed unit size**, for example 1–2% of your bankroll per pick, and adjust it once a month to your new bankroll instead of after every bet.
3. **Never chase losses.** Losing streaks happen, even to the best models. Doubling up to win it back is how small losses become big ones.
4. **Match picks to your risk.** Conservative? Only follow high Safe Scores. Skip parlays if big swings stress you out.
5. **Take breaks**, and don’t bet when you’re tired, upset or under the influence.
6. **Betting is entertainment, not income.** Treat any profit as a bonus.

## Know the warning signs

It may be time to take a step back if you:

- bet more than you planned, or more than you can afford to lose;
- borrow money, sell things or skip bills to keep betting;
- chase losses or feel you need to win it back;
- feel restless, anxious or irritable when you try to cut down;
- hide your betting from family or friends;
- let betting get in the way of work, study or relationships.

## Age and local laws

You must be of legal betting age to use SafeBet: 21+ in most US states (18+ in a few), and 18+ in the Netherlands, the UK and most other countries. Only bet with licensed sportsbooks that are legal where you live — sports betting is not allowed everywhere.

## Tools that can help

- **Sportsbook limits:** most licensed sportsbooks offer deposit limits, loss limits, time-outs and reality checks in your account settings.
- **Self-exclusion:** sportsbooks and many US states offer voluntary self-exclusion programs. In the Netherlands you can register with the national self-exclusion register, Cruks.
- **Blocking software:** apps such as Gamban and BetBlocker block gambling sites and apps on your devices.
