Recovery reframed as wealth-building
A blocker stops you walking to the casino. A day-counter tells you how many days it has been. Neither of those motivates your brain the way watching your bank balance crawl back into the black does. Once the dashboard starts going the right way, relapse gets measurably harder — you are now protecting something real.
How the savings tracker works
Enter your typical gambling spend — per day, per week, or per month. NoGambling.app converts that to a per-day savings rate and tracks every clean day as money you did not lose. The dashboard shows:
- Daily savings — a running total that updates every 24 hours.
- 30/90/365-day projections — what the dashboard will look like at those milestones if you hold the streak.
- Milestones — $100, $500, $1,000, $5,000, $10,000. Each one unlocks a small in-app celebration.
The debt snowball
Debt is usually the silent driver of "one big win will fix this" thinking. The snowball method kills that loop by replacing it with compounding momentum.
Enter each debt (amount, minimum payment, interest rate optional). The app orders them smallest-to-largest and walks you through the snowball: make minimums on everything, and throw every spare dollar at the smallest. When that clears, roll its payment into the next smallest. Debts fall in sequence — each cleared debt amplifies the next.
Why smallest-first and not highest-interest-first? Because in the first year of recovery momentum matters more than optimisation. Seeing a debt disappear builds the belief that the next one will too. Strict interest optimisation saves marginal dollars and loses morale.
What makes this different from a generic budgeting app
Budgeting apps (Mint, YNAB, etc.) are built for the general population — they do not know you are in recovery from gambling, they do not surface your savings during a panic-button moment, and they do not celebrate milestones with recovery-specific framing. NoGambling.app's financial dashboard is purpose-built for the people and the loops that matter: the urge at 11pm that needs a reality check, the 30-day milestone that unlocks a meaningful celebration, the debt you can finally see disappearing.

How does the app calculate savings?
You enter your typical gambling spend (per day, per week, or per month). The app converts to a daily rate and accumulates every clean day.
What is the snowball debt method?
Pay off the smallest debt first while making minimums on everything else. As each debt clears, roll its payment into the next smallest. Favours momentum over strict interest optimisation — which is what early recovery needs.
Is the data private?
Yes. Stored on-device, end-to-end encrypted. Nothing sold to insurers, advertisers, or brokers.
Can I use the savings tracker without entering debts?
Yes. Savings is its own tab. Debts are optional.
Does Kick the Bet have a debt tracker?
No. Kick the Bet has basic savings only. NoGambling.app includes both savings and the snowball debt method.
