SAFER GAMBLING

Last updated: 9 November 2026

18+ only. Please gamble responsibly.

tactica. is for adults aged 18 or over, or the legal gambling age where you live if that is higher.

tactica. gives football information and opinions. We don't take bets, and you can't place a bet on tactica. If you choose to bet, you do so with a bookmaker, under their rules and the law where you live.

Recommendations can lose

• Every forecast is an estimate. Every recommendation can lose, and many will.
• Our published record shows our past results. It doesn't predict future ones.
• No analysis, model or tipster can guarantee a profit. Treat any money you bet as money you can afford to lose.

Keeping it fun

1. Set a limit on money and time before you start, and stick to it.
2. Never chase losses. Trying to win back what you've lost usually makes it worse.
3. Don't bet to pay bills, to cover debts, or when you're upset, stressed or have been drinking.
4. Don't borrow to gamble.
5. Take breaks. Gambling should never get in the way of work, family or friends.
6. Use the tools your bookmaker offers:
   • deposit limits;
   • time-outs;
   • reality checks;
   • self-exclusion.

Signs it may be a problem

Gambling may be causing you harm if you:

• spend more money or time than you meant to;
• feel anxious, guilty or low about gambling;
• hide it from people close to you;
• borrow money or sell things to gamble.

Self-exclusion and tactica.

If you've self-excluded from gambling, or are trying to stop, we suggest you don't use the betting parts of tactica.

You can close your account at any time in Account → Close Your Account. You can also use your bookmaker's self-exclusion tools, and GAMSTOP in Great Britain.

Betting must be legal where you are

Betting is restricted or illegal in some countries and regions.

• Check the law where you live before you bet.
