A partner kit for Safer Gambling Week

For counsellors, helplines, groups and workplaces. Pick your kind of organisation and every text and link below is ready to paste. Free to share, no sign up, nothing to ask us first.

What it does

Opens a card at the moment someone reaches for a bet, with their own reason, a 30 second pause and one tap to text a person they trust.
Walks them through blocking betting sites on their phone, and links to self exclusion pages.
Counts the nights they hold, as a small jungle that grows.
Runs in the browser on iPhone and Android. No account needed.

What it does not do

It is not treatment, therapy or a helpline, and it does not replace them.
It does not diagnose, and it makes no promise about results.
It is not a sportsbook and it never moves money. No ads, nothing to buy.
The person's reason and the number they text stay on their phone; nothing typed is sent to us.
It does not track people across other sites and loads no advertising pixels.

Your organisation

Your link

It only tells us that a visit came from a partner like you, never who clicked.

Safer Gambling Week runs 16 to 22 November, and it is a good week to make support easy to find. Hold The Bet is a free web app for the minute before a bet. When the urge arrives, it opens a card instead of the betting site: the person's own reason in their own words, a 30 second pause, and one tap to text someone they trust. It also walks them through blocking betting sites on their phone. It runs in the browser on iPhone and Android, with no account and nothing to download. It is not treatment and it does not replace support; it sits beside it. If tonight is hard, call or text 988 (US and Canada) or 1-800-MY-RESET (US), any hour. https://holdthebet.com/sgw?utm_source=directory&utm_campaign=sgw2026&utm_content=partner-counselling
