Responsible Gambling

Last updated: July 25, 2026

18+ only. Bet Academy (operated by X-True West Media Consult) provides sports data analysis and educational content only. We do not accept wagers, take stakes, hold customer funds, or offer prizes, winnings or payouts of any kind. Any decision to place a bet with a third party is entirely your own, and gambling carries real financial risk.

Bet within your means

  • Only ever risk money you can comfortably afford to lose.
  • Set a budget and a time limit before you start — and stick to them.
  • Never chase losses. A losing run is not "due" to turn around.
  • Don't gamble to escape stress, boredom or to make money you need.
  • Don't gamble under the influence of alcohol or when upset.
  • Take regular breaks and keep gambling a small part of your life.

Warning signs

Gambling may be becoming a problem if you: spend more than you planned, borrow money or sell things to gamble, lie about how much you gamble, feel anxious or guilty about it, or neglect work, study, family or friends because of it.

Getting help & self-exclusion

If gambling is affecting you or someone you know, free and confidential support is available:

Because we are not a betting operator, self-exclusion from actual betting must be set up directly with your bookmaker or through the tools above. If you'd like us to close your Bet Academy account, just contact us.

Protecting minors

Our service is strictly for adults aged 18 and over. If you share a device with under-18s, please use parental controls and account passwords to prevent access.
