Beat the Spin help

How do I set up Beat the Spin?

1. Add Beat the Spin Tracker from the Chrome Web Store in desktop Chrome.
2. Open Beat the Spin from Chrome's Extensions menu and choose Open tracker.
3. Choose your sites, then choose Review access and Enable selected sites. Free tracks up to 3 sites. On a supported site, you can instead open the popup and choose Track this site.
4. Approve Chrome's access prompt. Tracking starts only after you approve.
5. Open each site and sign in if needed. Leave it open until the first check records a timer or status.

Local extension tracking does not require an account. If you selected sites on the website, return to that page and reload after installation. If the selection is missing or invalid, select those sites inside the extension. The four-step setup list uses replies from the extension to show installation, tracked sites, access, and a first observation. Without a reply, it stays unconfirmed; older versions may need a manual check. Opening the store alone does not install the extension.

On a phone or tablet, use the web dashboard and account pages. The extension needs desktop Chrome; the download page can copy a setup link for your computer.

Which sites does Beat the Spin support?

The list of supported sites names every site Beat the Spin can track, from A to Z. Sites that are not on it are not tracked yet.

The site picker on the homepage shows a support label for each site. Available for tracking means the site can be selected for tracking. Manual checks means you need to check and record activity yourself; do not assume every site supports automated detection or claiming.

Not currently supported means the site cannot be newly selected in this setup flow. If it was saved earlier, review the selection and choose a replacement. A selection on the website is not an enabled site in your extension.

How do I allow or restore site access?

Chrome asks for access to a site when you choose Track this site in the popup, Enable selected sites during setup, or Add in the tracker's Sites tab (or turn on the site's switch there). Approve the prompt to start tracking. If you decline, your saved sites and records stay as they were, and you can try again.

If Today shows Access missing for a site, choose Enable site access next to it and approve Chrome's prompt. Granting access alone does not mean setup finished: check that the site appears in Today.

To stop tracking a site, switch it off in Sites. Beat the Spin then asks Chrome to remove the site access that no other tracked site uses. Remove from Today in a site's details only hides the site from Today on this device; its notes, history and Chrome access stay. You can also review site access in Chrome's extension settings.

If a site asks you to sign in, complete the sign-in on that site. Handle verification, device approval, or challenges yourself. Review Chrome's extension settings if access is blocked by your browser or administrator.

What does each status in Today mean?

Each tracked site in Today shows one of these statuses.

• Ready: availability was observed on the site.
• Estimated ready: the expected timer has run out, but availability was not observed. Open the site to confirm.
• Available later: a timer is running. It comes from the last observed timer, or it is an estimate when there is no current observation.
• First check needed: open the site, sign in if needed, and leave it open until a timer or status is observed.
• Observation stale: the last observation is out of date. Reopen the site for a fresh check.
• Availability unconfirmed: a site check was recorded, but current availability was not confirmed. Open the site again.
• Access missing: Chrome site access is off. Choose Enable site access to resume checks. Saved records are unchanged.
• Sign-in needed: sign in on the site so it can be checked.
• Needs attention: open the site's details and review it before continuing.
• Manual tracking: automatic status checks are unavailable for this site. Record activity yourself.

The web dashboard shows most of the same statuses. Check needed there means past activity is recorded, but current availability is not confirmed. Check on the site.

A balance shown as Not recorded means no balance has been recorded. It does not mean zero.

Site terms, offers, and timers can change. The site itself is the authority. Check timestamps and the recorded source when something looks unexpected.

How do I review a site or undo a change?

In the web dashboard, select a site name or logo to open its details. Review notes, recent recorded activity, and the source of the displayed information. Browser site access is managed in the extension.

After editing or removing a dashboard record, Undo is available for 10 seconds. If you use an account, delivery waits until that window ends. Reloading closes the Undo control but preserves the delivery deadline. Undo cannot overwrite a newer edit or reverse activity on the actual site.

The 3.2 extension also opens details from a site name or Details & records. Note edits and removal from Today offer local Undo for five minutes while that detail view remains open. Remove from Today hides the site from Today on this device; its notes, history and Chrome site access stay. To stop tracking and remove that access, switch the site off in Sites. Restoring tracking still requires available capacity and appropriate site access. These extension controls require a 3.2 build; check your installed version.

How do I control reminders?

In the 3.2 extension, open Reminders from Today or the popup. Choose alert types, quiet hours, a frequency limit, or a temporary snooze. Site reminders inside a detail view let you mute or snooze that site.

Quiet hours use your computer's local time and also apply to existing scheduled runs. Timer reminders wait until quiet hours or snooze end; activity alerts during that period are skipped. Frequency limits suppress repeats. They do not create extra reminders. Update notices and tests you request are separate.

These preferences apply to this extension and its configured notification channels. The web dashboard cannot enable browser notifications or verify their delivery.

Where are my records stored?

Local extension tracking is saved in your Chrome profile. The web dashboard's browser-local records are a separate store. Do not assume that signing in has copied records between them.

An account connection is not proof of a successful sync. When a write or sync fails, keep the local records, review the displayed error, and retry from that surface. Avoid clearing browser storage or reinstalling as a first troubleshooting step.

Before switching accounts, export any records you need and confirm the account shown on the destination surface. If an older browser copy is available, the dashboard previews its records before restoring them into an empty local workspace.

Under dashboard Settings, connect your account to review extension sessions and the latest account report. One browser can have several sessions. A valid session does not prove that the extension is installed, online, or successfully synced.

How do I change or cancel my plan?

Compare Free, Pro, and Unlimited. Free and Pro use Tracker from the Chrome Web Store. Unlimited includes the Pro tracking capabilities and adds supported automation through the separate Automate installation.

Sign in to your account to check your confirmed plan and manage billing. After returning from checkout or the billing portal, allow the account page to refresh your subscription. A successful-looking return URL is not proof that your plan changed.

Use Manage billing in your account to review invoices or cancel renewal. Your account shows the subscription state and access period. If a checkout does not start, sign in and retry from pricing.

Where are my settings?

Use Settings in the full tracker for tracking and notification preferences. Use Account → Settings for your profile and account preferences. Return to Today when you're done; individual site access issues can be handled beside that site.

Read the privacy policy for data handling and the responsible gaming page for help setting limits.

How do I update the extension?

Chrome distributes Tracker updates automatically, which can take time to reach a profile. The Tracker setup page can read an installed version when the extension replies. You can also check it in Chrome’s Extensions page. The store listing is the source for its published version; a website build number does not confirm store publication.

Automate has its own installation and update path. Follow the Automate update instructions: keep the same Chrome profile and loaded folder, replace its files, and reload the extension. Export needed records first. An Unlimited subscription does not replace Tracker with Automate.

How do I contact support?
