HoodShot is designed to be fair and transparent, but it is still gambling. Every game carries a 5% house edge, which means that over time, on average, the house wins. Fairness guarantees the odds are exactly what we state, not that you will come out ahead.

Play safely

  • Only stake what you can afford to lose. Treat it as entertainment spending, not investment.
  • Set your own limits before you start, on time and on amount, and hold to them.
  • Do not chase losses. Each bet is independent; a losing streak does not make the next bet “due” to win. The odds are identical every time.
  • Take breaks. Because you self-custody, there is no cooling-off toggle we can flip for you. Stepping away is your tool.

What being non-custodial changes

HoodShot never holds your funds, so there is no house account to freeze and no support team that can reverse a bet or claw back a loss. That control is yours, which also means the discipline is yours.
If gambling stops being fun or starts affecting your finances or wellbeing, stop and seek support. Resources like BeGambleAware and the National Council on Problem Gambling (call or text 1-800-522-4700) offer free, confidential help.
