Responsible Gambling

Where Reko fits

Reko is a record-keeping tool for adults — not a bookmaker, and not a way to gamble. We don't take bets or hold money. But because we're a betting-adjacent product, we take safer gambling seriously. An honest view of your P/L and ROI can be a genuinely useful reality check: it shows you what betting is actually costing or returning, without the selective memory.

Bet in control

• Only bet what you can comfortably afford to lose — set a budget and stick to it.
• Set a time and money limit before you start, and treat it as entertainment, not income.
• Never chase losses. Trying to win back what you've lost is the fastest way to lose more.
• Don't bet to escape stress, boredom or low mood, and don't bet under the influence.
• Take regular breaks, and keep gambling in balance with the rest of your life.
• Use your bookmakers' own tools — deposit limits, time-outs, reality checks and self-exclusion.

Warning signs

It might be time to pause and seek support if you:

• Bet more than you can afford, or borrow money to bet.
• Chase losses or bet bigger to feel the same buzz.
• Hide your betting, or lie about how much you bet.
• Feel anxious, guilty or irritable about gambling, or when trying to stop.
• Neglect work, family, or other responsibilities because of betting.

Using Reko safely

If tracking ever makes you feel worse or more compulsive rather than more in control, step away and reach out to one of the services above. Your data is yours — you can export or delete your account at any time from your settings. Reko is strictly for adults: you must be 18+ (or the legal gambling age where you live, if higher) to use it.

Getting help works

Problem gambling is common and treatable, and the help above is free and confidential. Talking to someone early makes a real difference — for you or for someone you're worried about.
