Responsible Gaming

Mulligan Money is designed for friendly, social betting between golfers. We're committed to promoting responsible gaming practices.

Important: 18+ Only

Mulligan Money is intended for adults 18 years or older (21+ in certain jurisdictions). If you are under the legal age for social betting in your area, please do not use this app.

Our Commitment to Responsible Gaming

Golf betting should enhance your round, not create stress or financial hardship. Mulligan Money is built for social, recreational betting among friends—not professional gambling. We believe in:

  • Transparency: Clear tracking so everyone knows exactly what's at stake
  • Control: You decide your bet amounts and games
  • Education: Providing resources to recognize problem gambling
  • Support: Connecting users with help when needed

What Makes Mulligan Money Different

We Don't Handle Money

Mulligan Money never processes, holds, or transmits money. All settlements happen privately between players through external payment apps.

Not a Gambling Service

We're a scorecard and calculator, not a bookmaker. We don't facilitate gambling, take commissions, or offer odds.

No Predatory Features

No push notifications urging you to bet. No "double or nothing" prompts. No credit systems or lending.

Your Control

You set bet amounts. You choose your games. You decide when to play. Full control is always in your hands.

Guidelines for Healthy Social Betting

1

Bet Only What You Can Afford to Lose

Never bet money you need for bills, rent, or essentials. Social betting should be with "fun money" only.

2

Set Personal Limits

Decide your maximum bet per hole, per round, or per month before you play. Stick to your limits regardless of outcomes.

3

Don't Chase Losses

Had a bad round? Don't double your bets next time to "win it back." Accept losses as the cost of entertainment.

4

Keep It Social, Not Competitive

The goal is fun, not profit. If betting is causing stress, tension, or damaging friendships, it's time to take a break.

5

Pay Your Debts Promptly

Settle bets quickly and honorably. If you can't afford to pay, the bet was too high.

6

Take Regular Breaks

Golf without betting is still fun! Play some rounds without any wagers to keep perspective.

While Mulligan Money is designed for casual social betting, we recognize that gambling problems can affect anyone. Answer these questions honestly:

Self-Exclusion

If you need to take a break from betting, you can:

  • Delete your account: Go to Settings → Account → Delete Account. This is permanent and irreversible.
  • Uninstall the app: Remove Mulligan Money from your device to eliminate easy access.
  • Block payment apps: Delete or restrict access to Venmo, Cash App, and Zelle to prevent settlements.
  • Tell your friends: Let your playing partners know you're taking a break from betting.

If you self-exclude and later wish to return, we recommend waiting at least 90 days and ensuring you've addressed any underlying issues with professional help.

For Friends and Family

Concerned about someone's betting behavior? Here's how you can help:

  • Have an honest, non-judgmental conversation
  • Avoid lending money or covering their debts (this enables the problem)
  • Encourage them to seek professional help
  • Attend Gam-Anon meetings (support group for families of problem gamblers)
  • Take care of your own mental health—supporting someone with addiction is difficult
