Disclaimer

The Sport Stack publishes sports analytics for information and entertainment only — it is not betting advice and not a sportsbook.

[Effective date — set before publishing] · Applies to [The Sport Stack]

This is a plain-language template provided for general information — it is not legal advice. Items in [brackets] are placeholders. Have it reviewed and completed by qualified counsel for your jurisdiction before you rely on or publish it.

General Notice

This Disclaimer governs your use of [The Sport Stack] (the "Site"), a data-driven sports analytics service covering MLB, NFL, and MMA. The Site publishes model projections, so-called "best bets", player-prop edges, line-shopping boards, and a public track record of the operator's own previously staked plays. Please read this Disclaimer carefully. It applies alongside our Terms of Service (/terms) and the other policies referenced below, and it stands on its own even where it overlaps with them.

Everything on [The Sport Stack] is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing on the Site is betting, gambling, financial, investment, legal, or tax advice, and nothing on the Site is a recommendation, solicitation, or instruction to place any specific wager. If you need professional advice, consult a qualified, licensed professional.

By accessing or using the Site, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this Disclaimer. If you do not agree, please do not use the Site.

We Are Not a Sportsbook

[The Sport Stack] is an analytics and content publisher. It is not a sportsbook, betting operator, bookmaker, exchange, broker, or gambling service of any kind, and it is not licensed as one.

We do not accept, place, broker, match, or facilitate any bet, wager, or stake.
We do not handle, hold, transfer, escrow, or process any customer money, deposits, or winnings.
You cannot bet or gamble through the Site, and no feature of the Site allows you to do so.
Any odds, lines, or prices shown are informational references drawn from third-party sources and are not offers to transact.
Any decision to place a wager is made by you, elsewhere, with a separately licensed operator of your own choosing, and is entirely your responsibility.

No Professional Advice; No Advisory Relationship

The content on the Site is general in nature and is not tailored to your circumstances, risk tolerance, or financial situation. Using the Site does not create any advisory, fiduciary, brokerage, agency, or professional-client relationship between you and [The Sport Stack] or its operators, contributors, or affiliates.

We are not your handicapper, adviser, or agent, and we owe you no duty to act in your financial interest. You should not treat any projection, edge, rating, or "best bet" as personalized advice or as a substitute for your own judgment and independent research.

No Guarantee of Accuracy or Completeness

The Site relies on data supplied by third parties, including odds feeds, statistics providers, schedules, injury and lineup reports, and similar sources. We do not control that data and cannot guarantee it.

Data and odds may be delayed, cached, stale, incomplete, inaccurate, or wrong at the moment you view it.
Lines and prices move quickly; figures on the Site may not match what any operator is currently offering.
Models, projections, and displays may contain errors, bugs, or omissions, and are updated on their own schedules.
We make no representation or warranty, express or implied, as to the accuracy, reliability, timeliness, completeness, or fitness for any purpose of any content on the Site.

You are responsible for verifying any information before relying on it, including confirming current odds and rules directly with a licensed operator.

Projections and Models Are Estimates

Our projections, ratings, and model outputs are probabilistic estimates generated by statistical models. They express the model's view of likelihood under a set of assumptions; they are not statements of fact and not predictions of what will actually happen.

Terms such as "edge", "value", "best bet", "projected ROI", and similar labels are illustrations of the model's opinion at a point in time. They are not promises, guarantees, or assurances of any outcome, profit, or return, and they should be read as commentary rather than instruction. Sports outcomes are inherently uncertain, and any single result can differ sharply from any estimate.

No Guarantee of Results; Past Performance

The Site may display a track record of the operator's own previously staked plays, including win/loss records, units, and return-on-investment figures. This history is provided for transparency and illustration only.

Past performance is not indicative of future results. No result, record, or ROI shown on the Site is a guarantee or prediction of future performance. Betting on sports involves substantial risk, and you can and may lose money — including all money you stake. Never wager more than you can afford to lose.

Track-record figures depend on the assumptions, prices, timing, staking, and methodology used to compile them, and your own results will differ. We do not guarantee that any strategy, model, or selection shown on the Site has been, is, or will be profitable.

Assumption of Risk

Any betting, gambling, or financial decision you make is yours alone and is made entirely at your own risk. You are solely responsible for evaluating the content, forming your own conclusions, and bearing the consequences of any action you take based on the Site.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you assume all risk associated with your use of the Site and your reliance on any content it provides, and you agree that [The Sport Stack] is not responsible for any wager you place or any loss you incur.

Legality and Age Are Your Responsibility

Sports betting and gambling are not legal everywhere, and where they are legal they are regulated and age-restricted. Laws vary widely by country, state, province, and locality, and they change over time.

You must be of the legal age to view sports-betting-related content and to gamble in your jurisdiction — at minimum 18, and 21 or older where local law requires (as in many US states).
You are solely responsible for knowing and complying with the laws that apply to you, including whether sports betting is permitted where you are located.
Nothing on the Site should be read as encouragement to bet, or to bet where doing so would be unlawful for you.
Accessing the Site does not make any activity legal in your jurisdiction, and it is your responsibility to ensure your use and any resulting activity is lawful.

Third-Party Links and Content

The Site may reference or link to third-party websites, operators, data providers, and resources. We provide these for convenience and information only. We do not control, endorse, sponsor, or guarantee any third party, its content, its odds, or its services, and we are not responsible for them.

Your dealings with any third party — including any sportsbook or operator you choose to use — are solely between you and that third party and are governed by their terms and policies, not ours.

"As Is" Basis and Limitation of Liability

The Site and all of its content are provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis, without warranties of any kind, whether express, implied, or statutory, including any implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement, to the fullest extent permitted by law.

To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, [The Sport Stack], [legal operating entity — to be confirmed], and their operators, contributors, and affiliates will not be liable for any loss or damage of any kind — including any lost wagers, lost profits, lost winnings, or other direct, indirect, incidental, consequential, special, or punitive damages — arising out of or in connection with your use of, or reliance on, the Site or its content. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions or liability limitations, so some of these limitations may not apply to you; in that case, our liability is limited to the maximum extent permitted by law. Nothing in this Disclaimer limits any liability that cannot lawfully be limited. The limitations and disclaimers in our Terms of Service (/terms) also apply and are incorporated by reference.

Responsible Gambling

Gambling can be addictive and can cause real financial and personal harm. If you choose to bet, please do so responsibly: set limits, only stake what you can afford to lose, and never chase losses. For guidance and support, see our Responsible Gambling page (/responsible-gambling).

If you or someone you know may have a gambling problem, help is available. In the US, call or text 1-800-GAMBLER for confidential support. Support services also exist in other jurisdictions; please seek the resources available where you live.

If there is any conflict between this Disclaimer and the Terms of Service on a matter the Terms address, the Terms of Service control. We may update this Disclaimer from time to time, and your continued use of the Site means you accept the current version.
