Help people with gambling addiction?
We had to make this section easy to find on the app to help users with addiction problem.
Our card sorting exercise led us to put ‘Responsible gambling’ section along with other settings on the Header on desktop (and on top app bar in mobile), which was unlike most betting platforms in the industry today – where this section is placed hidden in some nook or at the end scroll of a page.

We encourage you to try responsible gambling in the Six Sigma Sports product.
Set once, and play safe!
