What is Almond? 

Almond is a mobile app that provides the space, tools and information to keep gambling habits under control, or to take a break from gambling altogether. It covers all types of gambling activities.

If you think of gambling as an activity that provides enjoyment but can be unhealthy in excess. So, Almond is the gambling equivalent of apps that help people optimise their nutrition.

Who is Almond for? 

Almond is for adults who want to make sure they continue to gamble at a healthy level, who want to quit gambling, and those who support either of those two groups with their journey.

How do I know if I have a gambling problem?

You may already know, you may suspect, or you may be confident you do not have a problem right now. If you think gambling is negatively affecting your life but you have not been able to reduce or stop, that's valid, and indicates that at the very least, gambling is a problem for you.

The very first thing every Almond user completes is a two-question screener called the Liebet tool which is used widely in clinical practice. Answering yes to either of those two questions indicates your gambling may be unhealthy.

How much does the app cost?

The app costs a lot to build and maintain... but our users pay nothing. It's totally free. And it remains free. 

But unlike other free apps, which finance themselves by selling your data or constantly playing ads, Almond finds customers who will pay on behalf of users, because having Almond available benefits people these customers are responsible for.

So it may be more accurate to say that Almond is not free... it's just already paid for.

What are the hidden costs?

We're serious, there is no cost to downloading or using the apps, and no upsells once you're in the app. You can even use the app anonymously, with no requirement to give us lots of your personal details.

Using Almond in a way that improves your life will require a few things - your time, your commitment, your vulnerability, and your trust. 

Why should I trust Almond?

Almond has been built by a core team of digital health, psychology, and addiction specialists, who together have decades of experience in creating digital software and helping people change their behavior to enrich their lives.

We recognised that there were very few options for people who want to monitor their gambling habits, and even fewer digital solutions, and we set out to change that. The main drivers when deciding how to improve Almond are asking ourselves "is this actually going to help people?" and "how are we doing to know if its helping?". 

No hidden agendas. Just effective support, created by world leading experts.

Where is Almond available right now?

Almond is currently available for all adults in the state of Pennsylvania.

When will Almond be available in my area?

We are in active conversations with various regions and companies to expand Almond into new states and customer bases. If you think Almond is something that you would find beneficial, contact your local representative to let them know.

Do you offer therapy?

Currently, Almond comprises three main pillars of support - self-guided activities and trackers, an in-app community of people striving for the same goals as you, and the ability to add people from your life to the app to become your own dedicated Almond cheer squad.

We do not currently offer therapy in the app.
