Ticko's Commitment Against Sports Betting Addiction

The Ann Arbor startup has made a formal commitment to not partner or advertise sports betting.
Mission
Ticko will not advertise sports betting — because a marketplace built to protect students shouldn't promote something that puts them at risk.
Ticko, the fast and secure student ticket marketplace tech startup, has made a contractual commitment to not advertise sports betting. As a marketplace that seeks to help college students avoid predatory ticket scams and foster positive campus culture, we believe that advertising sports gambling is in conflict with that mission.
Our commitment
Ticko seeks only partners that support our collaboration with universities and our mission to build positive relationships with campus communities.
If you or someone you know is struggling with gambling, help is available. The Michigan Problem Gambling Helpline (1-800-270-7117) offers 24/7 crisis intervention, screening services, and referrals to treatment and support groups, with trained counselors reachable by phone or virtually at any hour.
