Hold The Bet is a free app to stop gambling.

When you reach for the next bet, Hold The Bet puts your own number, your own reason and your own people between you and the sportsbook, for 30 seconds. You can text someone you trust in one tap, lock yourself out with each book's self exclusion page, or block betting sites on your phone. You can also open the app anyway, because the point is a pause you choose.

It is free. No account, no ads, no subscription, no purchases and no paywall. You should never have to pay to get better, and recovery help on Hold The Bet never will cost anything.

It runs in your browser, with nothing to download, and works on iPhone and Android. Your reason, your phone number and any goal you type stay on your phone. No ad tracker is loaded and no ad audience is ever built from users.

It is a self help tool, not treatment and not a sportsbook. It does not take bets or move money. If you are in crisis, call or text 988 in the US or Canada, GamCare on 0808 8020 133 in the UK, or find your country at gamblingtherapy.org.
