About Sharply

Sharply is a sports analytics platform. We provide model-generated probabilities, edge analysis, and auto-graded performance tracking. We do not accept bets, process wagers, or facilitate gambling transactions.

The analysis we publish is educational and informational. Any wagering decisions you make based on Sharply's analysis are yours alone, and you bear full responsibility for those decisions and their outcomes.

Self-Exclusion

Most US sportsbooks allow users to self-exclude from wagering for a set period (e.g. 6 months, 1 year, or permanently). If you have an account with a sportsbook, you can request self-exclusion through their responsible gambling settings or customer support.

Some states also maintain voluntary self-exclusion lists that apply across licensed operators in that state. Contact your state's gaming commission for details.
