Antic is for people who want to understand prices before they bet. It never takes bets or holds money, but the prices it shows lead to real bets at real sportsbooks. Keep betting fun, and keep it within limits.

Antic tools to stay in control
Track every bet
The bet tracker shows what you've staked, won and lost, so the real number is never a guess. Bet tracker
Cap your stakes
Set a bankroll and a bet-size cap in Settings. Stake suggestions never go above them. Stake sizing
Turn alerts off
Switch off notifications in Antic's settings or your phone's, any time. Antic has no balance to withdraw.
Keep it in check
Antic is information software. It shows prices and math, never places a bet and never holds your money. Opening a book from Antic is not a bet.
Only bet where betting is legal for you. Check your state's rules before you open a sportsbook or exchange account.
Decide on a budget before you start, and only bet money you can afford to lose. Never bet money meant for rent, bills or debt, and never borrow to bet.
Keep each bet small compared with your bankroll. Settings has bankroll and bet-size controls you can tune.
Positive expected value is a long-run average, not a promise. Any single bet can lose, and losing streaks happen even at good prices.
Never chase losses. A bad night is not a reason to raise your stakes.
Set a time limit, and don't bet when you're upset, drinking or tired.
Betting is entertainment, not income. If it stops being fun, stop.
Warning signs
It may be time to get help if you:
- spend more money or time on betting than you planned
- chase losses with bigger or more frequent bets
- borrow money, sell things or skip bills to keep betting
- hide your betting, or lie about it to people close to you
- feel restless, irritable or anxious when you try to cut back
- bet to escape stress, boredom or other problems
- let betting get in the way of work, school, sleep or family
Take a break
Antic has no deposits, balances or bets, so there is nothing to withdraw. To step away from Antic:
- Turn off notifications in Antic's settings, or on iPhone in Settings > Notifications > Antic.
- Sign out, and remove the app from your phone.
- Cancel Antic Pro. App Store subscriptions are cancelled in your Apple Account settings.
- Delete your account in Settings. This removes your profile, chat, alerts and settings.
- Want a hand? Email support@tryantic.com and we'll help you close your account.
At the sportsbooks you use, look in your account settings for:
- deposit, wager and time limits
- cool-off periods that pause your account for a set time
- self-exclusion, which closes your account for a longer period
Self-exclusion
- Most states with legal sports betting run a voluntary self-exclusion program, usually through the state gaming commission or lottery. Enrolling bars you from licensed betting in that state for the period you choose. Periods and rules vary by state.
- Find your state's program on your state regulator's website, or through the state resources at ncpgambling.org.
- Each sportsbook also lets you exclude yourself from that book.
- Gambling-blocking apps can block betting sites and apps on your devices, and some banks let you block gambling payments on your cards.
