🎰 Responsible Gambling

Our Philosophy

TiltCheck isn't anti-gambling — we're anti-tilt. We believe in harm reduction, not prohibition. Our tools are designed to help you recognize when you're emotionally compromised and make better decisions.

Gambling should be entertainment, not desperation. If it stops being fun, it's time to step back.

Recognize the Signs of Tilt

  • Chasing losses — betting more to "win back" what you lost
  • Emotional betting — gambling when angry, stressed, or drunk
  • Exceeding limits — spending more than you planned
  • Neglecting responsibilities — skipping work, bills, or relationships for gambling
  • Lying about gambling — hiding how much you bet from others
  • Borrowing to gamble — using credit cards, loans, or friends' money

TiltCheck's Tilt Engine monitors behavioral patterns and sends gentle nudges when it detects these signs. No shame. Just awareness.

Set Your Limits

Before you play, decide:

  • Budget: How much can you afford to lose?
  • Time: How long will you play?
  • Win limit: At what point will you walk away happy?
  • Loss limit: At what point will you stop chasing?

TiltCheck's upcoming Accountability Wallet feature will help you enforce these limits with opt-in controls.

Take a Break

If you're feeling tilted, step away. Use TiltCheck's cooldown suggestions or set a manual break.

Recommended break activities:

  • Go outside and touch grass 🌿
  • Drink some water
  • Talk to a friend (not about gambling)
  • Do something physical — walk, exercise, clean
  • Sleep on it before making big decisions

Self-Exclusion Options

Most casinos offer self-exclusion programs. If you need a break from gambling:

  • Contact the casino's responsible gambling department
  • Use tools like Gamban to block gambling sites
  • Remove payment methods from gambling accounts
  • Ask a trusted friend to change your passwords
