Monitor your gambling-prone friends in real time. Set intervention thresholds. Get notified the moment things start sliding. And if you have a read on the situation — put something on it.
SPOTTER connects to your friend's linked accounts — with their knowledge and consent, or at minimum their password — and tracks every transaction in real time. You see it before they feel it.
Most people track what's gone. SPOTTER tracks how fast it's going. The velocity metric catches a slide before the balance makes it obvious. You'll know by Tuesday what they won't admit until Friday.
Define your own intervention threshold — a balance floor, a daily spend limit, a number of deposits in 24 hours. When they cross it, you get the call. What you do with it is between you and your conscience.
SPOTTER's proprietary Crisis Score synthesizes balance trajectory, session frequency, deposit patterns, and time of day into a single number. Scores above 75 trigger Priority Watch. Above 90, we notify your group chat automatically.
Invite co-spotters to your friend's dashboard. Share the watch schedule. Assign who handles the 2am alerts. Build the support network your friend doesn't know they have yet.
You've watched this play out before. You know the tells. The prop desk lets you put real stakes on exactly how your friend's situation develops. All outcomes independently verified. Winnings deposited in-app.
Subject states "I'm fine," "it's not a big deal," or "I was going to stop anyway" within 48 hours of account hitting threshold.
Subject has a visible emotional response and removes the gambling app from their device. App reinstalled within 7 days does not void this bet.
Subject attributes their losses to platform bias, rigged outcomes, or a "bad streak" caused by external factors. Any version of "the app is broken" qualifies.
Subject contacts you, another co-spotter, or any mutual friend with a loan request of any amount within 48 hours of the crisis trigger event.
Subject declares they are done, does not log in for a minimum of 3 days, and then quietly reactivates the account. Must occur within the 6-day window.
Subject enters and maintains a 90-day clean streak with no deposits to any gambling platform. SPOTTER monitors all linked accounts for the full window.
Three steps to full-spectrum friend support.
Enter their name and linked financial accounts. SPOTTER syncs in minutes. Your friend receives a notification that they have been added to a support circle. The notification is brief.
Define alert thresholds, assign co-spotters, and configure your Crisis Score sensitivity. Then open the Prop Desk and set your lines based on everything you already know about them.
Receive real-time alerts when thresholds are crossed. Coordinate your response. Track the outcome against your props. Be there for your friend. Collect or concede accordingly.
"I had Marcus's Crisis Score at 91 on a Sunday night. I called him. He said he was fine. He was not fine. I had already placed the Denial prop. It was a complicated evening."
— R.P. · 3 Friends Monitored"The Recidivism prop paid out in 5 days. I felt guilty cashing it and I called him immediately. He appreciated the call. I did not mention the prop bet. He does not need to know about the prop bet."
— T.W. · Co-Spotter on 2 Accounts"My friend eventually found out I was monitoring him. He was upset for about a week. Then he asked me to add his brother. His brother's Crisis Score is already a 74."
