The explosion of online sports betting is creating a hidden crisis. Many people are falling into financial hardship and emotional stress without realizing it.
This problem feels very personal to me — I lost a few thousand dollars through betting. I experienced firsthand how easy it is to lose control.
That's why we built BetAware: to offer a gentle, supportive way for people to reflect on their habits, protect their peace of mind, and avoid the same mistakes.
