Gambling
The next hour without gambling
When betting urgency is high, a concrete hour can be easier to act on than a lifetime declaration.
Make access harder for the hour
Close betting apps, move money away from instant access and use blocking or self-exclusion tools.
Do not spend the hour researching the next bet
Studying odds can keep the same loop active even if no wager is placed.
At the end of the hour
Check in honestly and decide again. If the urge repeatedly overrides your limits, strengthen barriers and seek support.
Use the tool: choose a realistic next interval, return and answer honestly. A NO does not erase previous choices. The timer is not a substitute for medical treatment.
