Responsible Gambling
Last updated: July 14, 2026
Overlay Bets is an information, analytics and tipster-marketplace service. We do not accept, place, broker or settle wagers of any kind. If you choose to bet with a third-party operator, only stake what you can afford to lose.
Stay in control
- Only gamble with money you can afford to lose.
- Set time and money limits before you start, and stick to them.
- Never chase losses or bet to escape stress or boredom.
- Don't gamble under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Take regular breaks and keep gambling a small part of your life.
Signs it may be a problem
Gambling more than you intended, borrowing money to bet, hiding your betting from others, or feeling anxious or irritable when you try to stop can all be signs of harm. If any of these sound familiar, help is available and confidential.
