Responsible Trading and Gambling Resources

Piggyback Trader Effective date: August 3, 2026 Last updated: July 13, 2026

If you or someone you love has a problem with trading, betting, or gambling — help is free, confidential, and available 24/7.

Piggyback Trader provides alerts on market activity across prediction markets, cryptocurrencies, and equities. Prediction market activity can, in some cases, resemble or overlap with legally regulated gambling. Cryptocurrency and equity trading, while different in legal treatment, can carry the same behavioral risks as gambling for some individuals.

If you find yourself:

  • Spending more time or money on trading or betting than you can afford
  • Chasing losses to try to recover them
  • Hiding your activity from family, friends, or a partner
  • Feeling anxious, guilty, or out of control when you place a trade or bet
  • Unable to stop even when you want to

Please reach out to one of the resources below. They are free. They are confidential. They exist for exactly this reason.

Support groups

Our commitment

Piggyback Trader is designed to inform, not to encourage compulsive trading or betting. If you contact us at support@piggyback-trader.com and ask us to close your account, we will do so promptly, at any time, with no questions asked. Requests to permanently block an account and prevent re-signup with the same email will also be honored.

We do not pay out gambling winnings. We do not accept deposits. We do not extend credit. We are a software service that reports on public market activity.

[LAWYER REVIEW] Consider whether we should offer stronger self-imposed limits (e.g., a "cool-down" flag on an account) beyond simple deletion. Recommendation from problem gambling advocates.
