Answers to your questions
A short message from Les that arrives before one of your riskiest hours starts. It says what Les noticed, why it matters and one thing you can do now, like setting tonight’s number. You can reply, pick an option or skip it.
From your own history. When you connect a sportsbook, Lessen reads up to a year of your bets and finds the days and hours when you usually bet the most. The list updates as new bets come in. It estimates when you are likely to bet. It can’t know for sure.
No more than three a day, with time between them, and only before your top windows of the week. You choose how many windows get a heads-up in Settings. When Les isn’t sure about a window, it stays quiet.
Yes. By default a heads-up shows your numbers on the lock screen, so you see them at a glance. If you’d rather it said only “Lessen”, turn on Hide message previews in Settings.
No, never. Les doesn’t give picks, odds, lines or predictions, and it never suggests a bet. It talks about your own patterns and your own plan. Lessen connects read-only, so it can’t place a bet or move money either.
No. Les is your always-on money advisor, built into the app. It doesn’t diagnose or treat anything. If you want to talk to a person, the National Problem Gambling Helpline is free and open all day and night: 1-800-522-4700 or 1-800-MY-RESET. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.
