For Students — Confidential Sports Betting Support

For students

You don't have to be in crisis to reach out.

If sports betting has started to feel like more than entertainment, you can talk to someone who understands. Reaching out to SBAA does not require telling your coach, your teammates, or your school.

Signs worth paying attention to

• Betting more than you planned to
• Chasing losses to get back to even
• Hiding bets or balances from people close to you
• Betting affecting sleep, classes, or practice
• Feeling anxious when you can't place a bet
• Borrowing money to keep betting

What happens when you reach out

You share as little as you want — an alias and one way to reach you is enough. A peer responds, listens without judgment, and can point you to meetings or professional care if you want it. SBAA is peer support, not emergency or licensed medical care.

Need to talk? You can start with one message.
