Questions, answered

The short version: CalledIt finds you the best price, you place the bet on your own account, and we never touch your money. Everything below is the longer version.
What does CalledIt actually do?
You ask about a game in plain language. CalledIt compares prices across bookmakers, betting exchanges and prediction markets, and tells you where the best one is, checked against the consensus so a stale outlier never fools you.
From there a bet happens one of two ways. For most venues you get a link and place the bet yourself. If you have connected a venue we support directly, one tap places it on your account, from your balance.
What does it cost?
CalledIt is free to use today. We take no payment from you and hold no payment details of any kind.
We may in future earn commission from venues we refer you to. That never changes the price you are quoted, which is always the best one we can see on the board.
Do you hold my money?
No, and there is no way for you to give it to us. There is no CalledIt wallet, no CalledIt balance, and no deposit you can make. Your stake is your own balance at your own venue and it never passes through us.
Because we take no payments, we hold no card number, no bank detail and no billing address. Because we run no identity verification, we hold no passport, ID or proof of address either.
Am I betting with CalledIt?
No. CalledIt is a price-discovery copilot, not a bookmaker and not an operator. Every bet sits with the venue that accepted it, under that venue's terms. It holds your funds, settles your bets and decides your account standing, not us.
Is one-tap placement available where I live?
Not everywhere. A connected venue applies its own list of countries it will not serve, and we enforce that list before placing anything. Where you are on it, CalledIt still answers questions and gives you prices and links, but will not place.
Which venues one tap reaches depends on where you are, and you see that once you are signed in. You may only use CalledIt where it is legal for you to do so, and that responsibility is yours. We do not help anyone evade a venue's geographic restrictions.
What happens to my venue API key?
The key stays yours, and so does the account behind it. It is issued by your own account at the venue, stored encrypted with AES-256-GCM, and used only to read your balance and to place bets you have tapped.
On Telegram, the message containing your key is deleted as soon as it is stored. Send
disconnect at any time and the key is deleted. You can also revoke it inside
your venue account, which takes effect immediately whether or not you tell us.
Which sports and markets do you cover?
Football first. Pre-match, the board carries the Premier League, La Liga, the Bundesliga, Ligue 1 and the Champions League with match winner, totals and spreads, and in the days before kick-off the corner, card and player markets the books add late. In play, any football match gets 50-plus live markets: corners, cards, goal lines, handicaps, next goal.
Beyond football the board carries the NBA, and whatever the prediction markets are pricing, from an election to who wins the league. Ask about a fixture; if it is not on the board yet the bot says so rather than guessing.
What do you do with my data?
Your messages go to a language model so the bot can understand them, through OpenRouter, routed only to providers that do not store or train on them, with Google as a last resort. We keep your chat identity, the settings you choose, an encrypted venue key if you connect one, and your bet records.
We do not sell personal data, run advertising, or use tracking cookies; this website measures visits with a cookieless counter. Ask to delete your account and we remove everything except what accounting law requires. The Privacy Policy has the full detail and your rights.
How do you deal with stale quotes?
Every price on the board carries the moment it was fetched. A price that disagrees with the consensus of the other books is demoted, not quoted, so a book that forgot to update cannot hand you a phantom bargain.
A quote the bot gives you is single-use and expires after a few minutes; the exact window is printed on it. Tap after that and you get "that quote is gone, text bet again for a fresh price", never a placement at a number you did not see.
What happens when placing is not instant?
Your tap sends the bet to the venue and the bot waits for the venue’s answer, then tells you exactly what it was, with the venue’s own reference. A venue can accept, fill at a better price, or reject; on a connected bookmaker the bet is sent with price protection, so it fills at the quoted price or better and otherwise comes back rejected.
On prediction markets an order is fill-or-kill: filled at the price you tapped or not at all, nothing is left resting. Settlement follows the venue’s own records, usually within minutes of the result, and shows up under bets with your P&L.
What if the team scores between the quote and my tap?
Then the quoted price is no longer the price, and the bot will not pretend otherwise. Pre-match quotes are a snapshot; once a game is in play, prices move with every goal, card and corner, and in-play prices come from a single live feed, so the bot labels them indicative.
If the market has moved by the time you tap, the venue either fills you at a better price or rejects the bet, and you see which. CalledIt never places at a price you were not shown.
Can CalledIt place a bet without me?
No. Every placement follows a specific quote and an explicit tap on a Place button. Nothing is placed without it.
On top of that there is a per-bet cap and a daily cap, which you can lower at any time with limits,
pause to stop all placement immediately and resume to allow it
again, and a kill switch on our side we can use during an incident or a venue outage.
What if the price moves after I am quoted?
A quote is the price at the moment we fetched it, and quotes expire. A venue may reprice, partially fill, or reject a bet, and it may settle or void it under its own rules. We pass on exactly what the venue tells us.
Is any of this betting advice?
No. Nothing in CalledIt is betting, investment, financial or legal advice. Odds, prices and probabilities are information, not recommendations, and automated analysis can be wrong.
Betting involves a real risk of loss. Never commit money you cannot afford to lose. If gambling stops being fun, seek help, for example GambleAware.
What data do you keep, and how do I delete it?
Your chat identity, the settings you choose, an encrypted venue key if you connect one, your bet records, and your messages so the bot can answer them. To understand a question, the bot sends your message to a language model via OpenRouter (DeepSeek, NVIDIA or Nex AGI), routed only to providers that do not store or train on it, with Google as a fallback.
Ask us to delete your account and we remove your settings, your key and your bet records, keeping only what accounting or other law requires. The full detail, including your GDPR rights and how to complain, is in the Privacy Policy.
How old do I have to be?
18, or older where your jurisdiction requires it. You confirm this before anything else happens, and CalledIt is not offered to anyone below that age.
Still stuck?
