How we write these guides

Who writes this

Every guide here is written by the Back to Even team for people who want to stop betting, and for the people who love them. We are not clinicians, and we do not pretend to be.

Steps that depend on an operator’s app or a state’s rules change often. Where we describe a menu, we say where to look rather than promising a button name, and we link to the operator or regulator so you can check.

There are no affiliate links, promo codes or paid placements on this site, and there never will be. We will not link to a gambling operator except to show you how to leave it.

If you are in crisis, the right page is not this one: call 988 in the US. For gambling help, call or text 1-800-GAMBLER, free and confidential, any time.

No product rankings, no affiliate links

We do not run "best of" lists, we do not take payment for a mention, and there are no affiliate links anywhere on this site. Products appear only as examples of a category, never as a recommendation to buy a specific one. The commercial relationship here is simple and visible: we make an app, and we would like you to try it.

Corrections and updates

Every guide carries the date it was last updated. When we get something wrong, we change the page rather than quietly deleting it. If you spot an error, write to back2app@fluagency.com. The people who write these read it.

On AI

AI tools help us draft and maintain this site, and we would rather say so than pretend otherwise. Nothing goes up unread: the structure, the claims and the places where we refuse to claim something are decided by people, and every guide is checked against its sources before it is published. In the app, only Pip’s optional chat uses AI, after you agree to it, and it never judges you or gives betting tips.
