BetComrade is not gambling — every bet uses virtual coins with no monetary value, and nothing can be won or lost in real money. Even so, we design for healthy play and take our role around betting culture seriously.
1. Our commitments
- 18+ only. Age confirmation at signup; accounts of minors are removed.
- No pay-to-play. Virtual coins are free and cannot be purchased — there is no mechanic that converts money into play.
- No urgency tricks. No countdown pressure to bet, no "last chance" dark patterns, no loss-chasing prompts.
- Transparent AI. Predictions show probabilities and sources — they are analysis, not tips to wager real money on.
- Editorial guardrails. Across our partner network we only promote licensed operators, with clear 18+ and responsible-gambling messaging.
2. Healthy-play tools in the app
- Session reminders after extended continuous play.
- Self-imposed daily limits on number of virtual bets (Settings → Play limits).
- Cool-down: pause your account for 7, 30 or 90 days.
- Permanent self-exclusion and account deletion, effective immediately.
3. If real-money gambling is a problem
If betting with real money — anywhere — stops being fun, help exists and it works:
- Greece: KETHEA-ALFA (kethea.gr) · Gambling helpline 1114 (free, confidential).
- Cyprus: National Betting Authority player support (nba.gov.cy) · 1454.
- UK: GamCare (gamcare.org.uk) · 0808 8020 133 · GAMSTOP self-exclusion.
- Everywhere: Gamblers Anonymous (gamblersanonymous.org).
4. Parents & guardians
Use device-level parental controls to prevent app installation by minors, and contact [email protected] to report an underage account — we remove them promptly.
