Hi all, quick heads up. OpenAI changed its usage policy about a year ago, and “real money gambling” is now on the list of things ChatGPT isn’t supposed to be used for. It doesn’t look like they’re really enforcing it yet, but that could change, and then it might just start refusing Betfair and betting questions.
Thought it was worth knowing now rather than getting caught out months or years down the line when you rely on it. Good news is the alternatives don’t seem to have this restriction.
Has anyone had to switch from ChatGPT yet?
ChatGPT and gambling restriction
I'm not sure I'd be too worried about this just yet.
There's quite a difference between asking ChatGPT what to back in the 3:30 and asking it to write some C# to analyse Betfair data. If OpenAI can't tell the difference, that says more about their implementation than anything else.
I'd be more concerned about it confidently giving you a load of rubbish than refusing to answer. At least with a refusal you know where you stand.
And I wouldn't assume the alternatives won't end up with similar restrictions.
