Engaging with Racing Responsibly
Our Commitment
Fuyksi : Information and Analytical Platform Please note that our content helps add value to your horse racing experience through data, insight and structured analysis. We are neither a sports platform, nor do we initiate any transaction. However, we acknowledge that our content sits within a wider ecosystem in which horse racing meets sports platforms.
That’s why we’ve approached our responsibility to encourage balanced, informed and controlled engagement seriously. All of the above conditions on our platform are accessible only to those adults 18 and over, and we vigorously advocate all users of the material race entertainment with clarity and self-knowledge.
What Responsible Engagement Looks Like
There are some immutable principles of responsible engagement with any kind of sports entertainment, analytical, social or participatory. It means putting limits on your time and attention, personally, before you begin; not after. It means treating racing analysis as entertainment, and not a vocation that comes with monetary expectations. It means keeping in mind the basic unpredictability of sport, and not allowing any statistical model, no matter how robustly designed, to eliminate that uncertainty.
These are signs that if racing is making you feel anxious, preoccupying too much of your mind or interfering with relationships and responsibilities, it may be worth talking to a professional or trusted support service.
Recognising the Signs
It can be tricky, at times, to tell when sport has crossed the line from enjoyable to problematic. Common signs include spending more time doing sports analysis or being on sports platforms than you plan to, ruminating about upcoming races even when you don’t want to be, reaching for any sort of your sporting a fix as an escape from stress or negative emotions, and feeling burdened to talk with friends and family about your involvement.
These are not shameful experiences, but they are signals that are worth acknowledging. Help is available, at no cost and confidentially.
Trusted Support Organisations
The following organisations provide free, confidential support to anyone that is worried about their own or another person’s relationship with sports entertainment or related activities.
Fuyksi’s position: This platform is here to make horse racing more cerebral, and thus fun, for those who like to think about the sport. No, it is not meant to inspire anyone to do more than read well and respond by looking up information. All users undertake full responsibility for their own actions and we encourage all visitors to ensure they have a healthy relationship with any sports entertainment providing content in any form.
