Responsible gambling

Sports picks involve risk. No outcome is guaranteed and past performance does not predict future results. Betting should be entertainment you can afford — never a way to make money or recover losses. Only stake what you can afford to lose, and stop if it stops being fun.

We are not a bookmaker

TipStaq does not accept wagers, hold gambling funds or set odds. We are a pick-tracking and comparison platform. You must be of legal age in your jurisdiction to use TipStaq, and any bet you place is with a licensed bookmaker of your own choosing. Read more on our about page.

Set your own limits

• Decide a monthly budget before you start, and stick to it.
• Set deposit, loss and time limits with your bookmaker — and lower them, never raise them mid-session.
• Never chase losses by increasing your stake size.
• Never bet with money meant for essentials, and never borrow to bet.
• Take regular breaks, and use the self-exclusion tools your bookmaker offers.
• Keep betting one part of your life — not the part everything else revolves around.

Warning signs of gambling harm

It may be time to take a break or seek help if you:

• bet more than you planned, or more often than you intended;
• chase losses, or bet to win back money you have lost;
• hide your betting from people close to you, or lie about it;
• feel anxious, irritable or restless when you are not betting;
• borrow money, sell things or miss bills to keep betting.

What we will not do

• We will never tell you a pick is “guaranteed”, “risk-free” or a “sure bet”.
• We always show a tipster’s settled sample size next to their ROI and win rate.
• We do not accept wagers or hold gambling funds.
• We do not target minors. TipStaq is strictly for adults of legal age.
