CommunityBet is a social tracker, not a gambling site
CommunityBet keeps the record of a weekly bet that a group of friends already place themselves, somewhere else. You cannot gamble here. There is nothing to stake, nothing to win and no money moving through this website.
What CommunityBet actually does
- Collects one pick per person each week so nobody has to chase the group chat.
- Stores a photo of the slip that one of your group placed with their own bookmaker.
- Records the result afterwards and keeps your group's history and table.
- Works out who owes what, so your group can settle up between themselves.
What CommunityBet is not
- Not a bookmaker, betting exchange or gambling operator.
- Not an agent or affiliate placing bets for you.
- Not a payment service — we never take, hold or transfer a stake or a winning.
- Not a tipster. We offer no odds, no predictions and no betting advice.
- Not a place to win prizes based on your betting results.
Every bet you see recorded here was chosen and placed by a member of your own group, with their own licensed operator. CommunityBet is for adults aged 18 or over.

- Gambling Act 2005 — the primary legislation, including what counts as offering facilities for gambling.
- Licence conditions and codes of practice — the rules licensed operators must follow.
- CAP Code section 16 — UK advertising rules for gambling.

Blocking and self-exclusion
Because CommunityBet takes no bets, there is nothing here to self-exclude from — but you can shut off real gambling accounts in a few minutes, for free:
- GAMSTOP — free national scheme that blocks you from every GB-licensed online gambling site for six months, one year or five years.
- MOSES — multi-operator self-exclusion for high street betting shops.
- Gamban and GamBlock — software that blocks gambling apps and websites on your devices.
- Ask your bank to switch on a gambling block — most UK banks offer one in their app.
