Bankroll Management Apps
by Alex J. Coyne © Great Bridge Links February 2025
Casino and gambling apps are traditionally thought of as being mostly for blackjack, slots, and sports betting. But did you know, there’s another type of gambling app that could change the way you wager. Bankroll management and budget-related gambling apps help players track and manage their bets—an easy way to know when to bet (and when to stop).
Apps can give players control over their wins, losses, risks, and spending. For recovering addicts, certain apps can also impose limitations or blockers for high-risk sites while providing users with coping mechanisms and support networks.
Here’s our look at some of the best bankroll management and betting management apps for 2025 and why you should be using them.
Gambling Analytics Apps
Gambling analytics and tracking apps are good ways to budget for your betting. These apps track potential spending, as well as wins and losses. Usually, they are set up to alert users to any high-risk patterns or behaviors and encourage responsible betting.
BetBuddy AI
BetBuddy was originally developed as a responsible gambling tool by Playtech. In 2025, a new platform called BetBuddy AI is set to launch, focusing on AI-driven betting predictions. While it remains to be seen how closely this aligns with bankroll management, it is expected to provide bet tracking, risk assessment, and responsible gambling alerts.
Gamble Diary
Available on the Apple App Store as “Gambling Tracker: Manage Money”
Gamble Diary is a simple tracking app available from the Apple App Store under the name “Gambling Tracker: Manage Money.”
While not as AI-driven as BetBuddy AI, Gamble Diary allows users to view their gambling budget at a glance, track previous spending across different games, and analyze their finances with detailed reports.
With Gamble Diary, you’ll always know what’s left to bet with.
Gambling Therapy Apps
Gambling therapy and responsible gambling apps are meant to promote the journey to recovery. These apps let users impose restrictions on their gambling budgets or time, or allow them to block high-risk sites or ads.
The Gambling Therapy App
The Gambling Therapy App is designed for users who want to gamble less. Available for free, the app comes with a self-assessment quiz, text-based support, and links to further blocking software. The app also contains self-help exercises and daily motivational quotes to aid recovery.
Gambless
Gambless is underwritten by a team of mental health professionals for recovering gambling addicts. The app provides fast access to responsible gambling resources, including forums, helplines, and coping exercises.
If you’re a high-risk gambler who needs to cut back, Gambless can help.
Profit Keeper Apps
Profit-keeper apps like Casino Tracker allow you to hold funds and allocate specific “wallets” to your wagers. While a profit-keeper app is not a bank, some may be subject to specific financial regulations. Always read the terms and conditions for your country if you’re an international gambler.
Casino Tracker: Manage Money
Casino Tracker, created by Taro Horiguchi, is available for download from the Apple Store and Google Play Store.
Casino Tracker helps users manage their bankroll and track their casino bets across various games, including blackjack and poker. Like other bankroll apps, it allows players to keep a close watch on their projected budget and ensure they never exceed their spending limits.
Note: No verified app called “SmartGambler” currently exists. If you’re looking for bankroll management tools, it’s best to stick with officially available apps.
Casino-Specific Apps
Casinos sometimes offer apps designed specifically for their players. If you’re gambling with a particular venue, resort, or website, check whether they have an app that enhances your experience.
Caesars Palace Online Casino
Caesars Entertainment offers a mobile app for their online casino platform. The app includes features such as bankroll tracking, exclusive deals, and spending management. It’s available for download on iOS and Android devices.
MGM Grand Resorts (MGM Rewards App)
The MGM Rewards app is designed for anyone visiting MGM Grand Resorts. While not solely gambling-focused, it includes features such as spending tracking and access to exclusive casino offers.
Available on both iOS and Android.
My WinStar
The My WinStar app is from WinStar World Casino and is available for iOS and Android.
This app lets you track points, manage your budget, and monitor overall spending while playing at WinStar Casino.
Always remember to check if your preferred casino has its own app!
General Financial Apps
General financial apps like YNAB and Mint are designed for better control over overall spending. However, they can also be customized to include categories for betting or gambling expenses.
YNAB: You Need a Budget
YNAB is an international, highly customizable budgeting app. Users can enter spending categories, track funds, and analyze spending habits. While not gambling-specific, it is an excellent tool for managing bankroll and preventing overspending. Many of my friends use this app for their day to day budget management.
Mint
Mint is designed for better financial control and can be used as a tool to automate bankroll management, set limits, and encourage responsible playing.
Users can set specific spending caps to make sure they’re never betting over their budget.
Final Thoughts
Bankroll management apps provide an efficient way to track bets, prevent overspending, and encourage responsible gambling. Whether you’re using a profit-keeper app like Casino Tracker, a responsible gambling tool like Gambless, or general financial apps like YNAB, keeping an eye on your betting budget is crucial for a sustainable gambling experience.
Always check for official app store availability and choose apps that align with your gambling needs and habits.
