Planned for the Fair Catch app

The app is coming soon. Today, you can read a practical first-week guide, find free support, and review self-exclusion options. The features below describe the planned app, not tools available on this website.

  • A simple daily check-in

    Log a bet-free day or a day you placed a bet. A logged bet is information, not failure. Nothing resets.

  • Compare with your typical week

    Enter your own typical week once. Fair Catch estimates what you didn't bet on the days you log, compared with that number. It's an estimate, not a bank balance or a prediction.

  • Ride out an urge

    A 10-minute urge timer and one minute of slow breathing for the moments a bet feels close.

  • If-then plans

    Plan ahead for live games, paydays, ads, boredom and friends who bet.

  • Game-day mode

    Turn it on yourself when there's a game, and your live-games plan, urge tools and help line move to the top. No scores, no logos, no odds.

  • Help on every screen

    1-800-MY-RESET, 988 and 911 are one tap away, plus links to self-exclusion and blocking tools.

Private by design

The planned Fair Catch app is designed so your check-ins stay on your phone. It is planned to have no account, no tracking and no analytics. Reminders are intended to be optional and discreet by default: nothing about betting, money or sports in the notification text. You would be able to export or delete everything at any time. If you use iCloud backup, Apple's backup may include app data under Apple's terms.

Guides

Fair Catch supports your own plan. It is not medical care, counseling or financial advice, and it doesn't diagnose or treat any condition.
