## What is Benched?

Benched helps you quit sports betting — not with shame or a clinic, but like leveling up.

You know the cycle: chase the loss, get a "VIP free bet" the second you try to stop, tell yourself one big win fixes it. Benched is built to break it.

BENCH YOUR BETTING APPS
Block the betting apps at the source with Apple Screen Time. Open one and you hit a wall, not a bet slip — friction for the moment you're weakest, not just willpower.

SCROLL WITHOUT THE BAIT
Open Instagram, TikTok and X through Benched and the sportsbook ads, parlays and tipsters get stripped out before you see them. The re-hook can't reach you.

SEE WHAT YOU SAVE — THEN GROW IT
Every clean day, the money that used to go to the books stacks up and your streak grows. The Vault shows what that money becomes if you invest it instead — your losses, turned into real wealth.

SURVIVE THE RE-HOOK
The "free bet" notification is engineered to catch you at your lowest. Benched names the manipulation and gets you through the urge.

Benched is for guys who are done handing their paycheck to the sportsbook. No counselor, no judgment. Just you, locking in.

Quit sports betting. Get your money — and your weekends — back.

Benched is a self-improvement tool, not medical treatment. If gambling has you in crisis, call 1-800-GAMBLER (US).
