Same money. Better night.

Had money set aside for a bet tonight? Swap the Night shows you real things happening near you, within that budget. Swipe past what doesn't appeal, keep what does.

  • Events near you, tonight
  • Matched to the money you'd have staked
  • Or a night in that feels like a treat

How Lockstep works

Practical support that goes beyond high-risk moments.

More on how it works

  1. Interrupt urges

    Pause and redirect when triggers escalate.

  2. Grow daily

    Build consistency through small daily actions that support long-term change.

  3. Support & connect

    Join tailored meetings, share your progress and build likeminded connections.

  4. Refine & maintain

    Adapt tools to align with goals and build momentum.

What is Lockstep

Lockstep is designed for people who want to stay in control without being told what that control must look like. We recognise that gambling exists on a spectrum, and that different people need different levels of structure at different times.

Rather than pushing abstinence or reflection alone, Lockstep focuses on practical support, helping users redirect urges, maintain balance, and keep their priorities aligned with what they value most in everyday life.

  • Community relevant to you
  • Turning money you might have gambled into memories that last
  • No ads. No data selling. No compromises.
