Quit sports betting

Stop betting.Keep your money.

Gambout is an iPhone app that helps you quit sports betting. Shut the betting apps out, watch the money you keep add up, and ride out the urge when it hits.

How it works

Coming soon to the App Store

3-day free trial. SOS and helplines free forever. 18+.

Gambout's Home screen: $293 kept since 15 Nov, on track for $2,600 this year, 41 days bet-free, and a check-in asking how strong the urge is, from 1 to 5.

Money kept

Here's what you keep.

Tell Gambout what a normal week of betting costs you. Every day you don’t bet, it counts what stays in your pocket. That number is yours to watch grow.

The screens on this page show an example: someone who bet $50 a week, 41 days in.

A normal week of betting

In a year: $2,600
In 90 days: $643

Nothing you type here leaves this page.

How it works

Built for the moment the urge hits.

Late at night, right after a loss, ten minutes before kickoff. That’s when Gambout is there.

The Screen Time guide in Gambout: step 1, block the apps with App Limits; step 2, block the sites under Web Content; step 3, make it stick by letting someone you trust pick the Screen Time passcode.

Screen Time · about 3 minutes

Shut the apps out.

Your phone already has the tools. Gambout walks you through them, step by step: App Limits for betting apps, Never Allow for betting sites, and a Screen Time passcode someone you trust picks, so a bad night can’t undo it.

SOS in Gambout: a ten-minute timer at 9:58 with the line “The urge is a wave. It builds, it peaks, it breaks.” and buttons It passed and Still strong.

SOS · free forever

The urge passes. Ride it out.

One tap from anywhere in the app: a 10-minute timer, box breathing, and the free helpline for your country. SOS never sits behind a paywall, subscription or not.

The coach chat in Gambout. The user says “Big game at 8. One small bet is fine, right?” The coach replies that “just one” is the bet the urge always asks for, and asks for a plan for the first quarter.

Private coach

Talk it through. Off the record.

A coach built for the moments that matter: kickoff, chasing a loss, payday, a slip. It runs on your phone, never gives odds or picks, and your chats never leave your phone. If you mention hurting yourself, it skips the chat and gives you real people to call.

Progress in Gambout: a 41-day current streak, $293 kept, 9 urges beaten, and the milestones 1, 3, 7, 14 and 30 days done, with 60 next.

Streaks and milestones

Every day counts.

Watch the streak and the money climb together. Milestones at 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 180 and 365 days. Share a card, or keep it to yourself. One bet doesn’t erase 41 days: log it and keep going.

Private by design

Your business stays on your phone.

No account, no login.
Open the app and start. There is nothing to sign up for.
It stays on your phone.
Your answers, spend, money kept, streaks, slips, urges and coach chats never leave your phone.

Questions

Straight answers.

Is Gambout treatment?

No. It’s a self-help tool, not treatment or medical advice. If betting is hurting you or someone close to you, the helplines on this page are free and confidential, for family too.

Can Gambout see my betting apps?

No. You set the blocks up in your phone’s own Screen Time settings, and Gambout can’t see or change them. What you set up there stays between you and your iPhone.

What does it cost?

Gambout Pro is $59.99 a year with a 3-day free trial, or $12.99 a month. It’s billed by Apple, and you can cancel any time in your App Store settings. SOS and the helplines are free forever. Money tight? Email support@gambout.app for a free 30-day code.

Do I need an account?

No. There’s no sign-up and no login. Everything you put in stays on your phone.

Is it in the UK?

Not yet. Gambout launches in the US first, and the UK is next. The UK helplines on this page are open now.

Is there an Android version?

Not yet. Gambout is iPhone only for now.

Not today.
