About SetCap

SetCap is a gambling help and recovery service, an initiative of SANDBOX ENTERTAINMENT CORP. Our main help for people struggling with gambling is Sitti, a gambling help & recovery companion you can talk to any time. This site also offers information and paths to human support; it is not a counselor, healthcare provider, or emergency service.

There are no gambling ads, affiliate links, or operator recommendations here. Sitti is a recovery companion, not a person, counselor or doctor. It can make mistakes. In a crisis, call the numbers above.

Voice credit

Sitti's voice is generated by SetCap's own speech service (OmniVoice, Apache-2.0), using a reference voice derived from the CSTR VCTK Corpus (speaker p229): Veaux, Yamagishi and MacDonald, “CSTR VCTK Corpus: English Multi-speaker Corpus for CSTR Voice Cloning Toolkit”, The Centre for Speech Technology Research, University of Edinburgh, licensed under CC BY 4.0 (doi.org/10.7488/ds/2645). The audio was processed by a text-to-speech model; no endorsement by the authors is implied.

Privacy

No account is needed. Chat messages are sent to an automated text service to write a reply and are not saved by us; do not share bank or ID numbers. Talking to Sitti by voice is optional and asks for your microphone first: your browser's speech service turns your voice into text, Sitti's reply is turned into speech by SetCap's own voice service, so it is not sent to any outside speech provider, and SetCap does not record or save audio. There are no phone calls. Like other websites, our hosting and security services may process technical request data; we do not promise that visiting leaves no trace.
