Responsible Gambling Policy
Last Updated: February 13, 2026
Introduction
Prediction Locator LLC operates Prediction Locator at predictionlocator.com as an informational platform providing football (soccer) predictions. The platform compiles over 25,000 football predictions per month from various sources into a single, fast-access website. The service provides daily betting tips and match predictions across major football leagues worldwide, offering users a centralized hub to compare forecasts and make informed betting decisions. It operates as a comprehensive prediction resource available 365 days a year, combining statistical analysis and expert tips to help sports bettors evaluate potential outcomes.
We are not a gambling operator, bookmaker, or betting platform. We do not accept bets, process wagers, hold user funds, or provide any gambling services directly. Our Website serves solely as an informational resource.
The purpose of this Responsible Gambling Policy is to encourage safe and responsible use of betting-related information, to help Users understand the inherent risks associated with gambling, and to promote awareness of problem gambling and available support resources.
Information-Only and No Guarantee of Profit
All predictions, tips, statistical analyses, odds discussions, and related content published on predictionlocator.com are provided for information and entertainment purposes only. We make no warranties, representations, or guarantees regarding the accuracy, reliability, or profitability of any content.
Important disclaimers:
- Past performance and historical data do not guarantee future results
- Even well-researched predictions and expert tips can and do lose
- Gambling inherently involves the risk of financial loss
- There is no such thing as a "sure bet" or guaranteed winning strategy
- Users are solely responsible for any betting decisions they make based on our content
Before placing any bets with third-party operators, Users must independently verify information, conduct their own research, check applicable local laws and regulations, and make informed decisions. We strongly recommend consulting with financial advisors if gambling activities might affect your financial wellbeing.
Legal Age and Local Laws
Prediction Locator is intended exclusively for Users who have reached the legal gambling age in their jurisdiction of residence. This is typically 18 years or older, but may be 19, 21, or higher in certain countries, states, or regions.
User responsibilities:
- You must not use our Website or its content for gambling purposes if you are below the legal gambling age in your location
- You must not use our Website if online gambling or sports betting is prohibited, restricted, or illegal where you reside
- You are solely responsible for understanding and complying with all applicable gambling laws, regulations, and licensing requirements in your jurisdiction
- You must ensure that your use of third-party betting operators is legal and compliant with local laws
If you are unsure about the legal status of gambling in your area, consult local authorities or legal counsel before engaging in any betting activities.
Principles of Responsible Gambling
Gambling should be treated as a form of entertainment, not as a means to make money, solve financial problems, or generate income. To gamble responsibly, we encourage all Users to adopt these fundamental principles:
- Gamble only with money you can afford to lose - never bet with funds needed for essential expenses like rent, bills, food, or debt payments
- Set clear budgets and stick to them - decide in advance how much money and time you will spend gambling, and do not exceed those limits
- Never chase losses - attempting to recover losses by placing more or larger bets typically leads to further losses and financial harm
- Keep gambling in perspective - view it as entertainment with an associated cost, not as an investment or money-making opportunity
- Avoid gambling when impaired - do not gamble while under the influence of alcohol, drugs, or medication that affects judgment
- Avoid gambling when vulnerable - do not gamble when feeling stressed, depressed, anxious, angry, or emotionally unstable
- Take regular breaks - step away from gambling activities periodically to maintain perspective and avoid compulsive behavior
- Monitor your behavior - regularly review your gambling habits, spending, and emotional responses to identify potential problems early
If you notice that gambling is negatively affecting your finances, relationships, work, mental health, or overall wellbeing, it is important to take action immediately by reducing or stopping gambling and seeking professional support.
Warning Signs of Problem Gambling
Problem gambling can affect anyone and may develop gradually over time. Recognizing warning signs early can help prevent serious harm. Common indicators of problem gambling include:
- Spending more time or money on gambling than originally intended or budgeted
- Repeatedly trying and failing to cut back, control, or stop gambling
- Feeling preoccupied with gambling, constantly thinking about past bets or planning future ones
- Needing to gamble with increasing amounts of money to achieve the same level of excitement
- Becoming restless, irritable, or anxious when attempting to reduce or stop gambling
- Gambling to escape problems, relieve negative emotions, or cope with stress or depression
- Chasing losses by returning to gamble again soon after losing, trying to "get even"
- Lying to family, friends, or others to hide the extent of gambling involvement
- Jeopardizing or losing important relationships, job opportunities, or educational prospects due to gambling
- Borrowing money, selling possessions, or committing illegal acts to fund gambling or pay gambling debts
- Relying on others to provide money to relieve desperate financial situations caused by gambling
If you recognize one or more of these signs in yourself or someone you know, please take them seriously. Problem gambling is a treatable condition, and help is available. Consider taking a break from gambling immediately and reaching out to professional support services.
Practical Tools and Self-Help Measures
While Prediction Locator does not operate gambling services or player accounts, many licensed betting operators provide responsible gambling tools to help Users maintain control. We encourage all Users to take advantage of these features when available.
Operator-provided tools:
- Deposit limits - set daily, weekly, or monthly maximum deposit amounts
- Loss limits - restrict the total amount you can lose over a specified period
- Wager limits - cap the maximum stake per bet or per time period
- Time limits and session reminders - receive alerts after gambling for a certain duration
- Reality checks - periodic pop-up notifications showing time spent and money wagered
- Cooling-off periods - temporary account restrictions for short-term breaks (24 hours to several weeks)
- Self-exclusion - voluntary account closure for extended periods (months to years) or permanently
- Account closure - permanently close your account if you wish to stop gambling entirely
Additional self-help measures:
- Keep detailed records of all gambling activity, including amounts wagered and outcomes
- Use separate bank accounts or payment methods exclusively for gambling to track spending more easily
- Set alarms or calendar reminders to limit gambling sessions
- Install website blocking software or parental control tools to restrict access to gambling sites
- Avoid carrying credit cards or accessing credit when gambling
- Inform trusted friends or family members about your gambling limits and ask them to help you stay accountable
- Find alternative activities and hobbies to replace gambling-related entertainment
Remember that these tools are typically provided by third-party operators and are outside the control of Prediction Locator. We encourage you to actively use all available responsible gambling features offered by any betting operators you choose to engage with.
Links to Help and Support Organizations
If you are concerned about your own gambling behavior or that of someone you know, professional help is available. Independent support organizations exist in most countries and regions, offering free and confidential assistance through helplines, online chat, counseling, and treatment programs.
How to find help:
- Search online for "problem gambling help" or "gambling helpline" along with your country or region name
- Contact your primary care physician or local mental health services for referrals to gambling addiction specialists

- Many countries operate dedicated 24/7 helplines and web chat services specifically for gambling-related concerns
- International organizations such as Gamblers Anonymous offer peer support meetings in many locations worldwide
Taking the first step:
Seeking help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Problem gambling is a recognized behavioral health condition, and effective treatments are available. Support services can help you:
- Understand your gambling behavior and its underlying causes
- Develop strategies to control or stop gambling
- Address financial, legal, and relationship problems caused by gambling
