Effective 1 August 2026 · Last updated 1 August 2026

01Purpose

Our goal is to create a fun, friendly and fair environment where friends, families, schools, workplaces and communities can enjoy prediction leagues together.

These Community Guidelines and Fair Play Rules apply to all users of the App and form part of our Terms of Service.

  • Personal attacks
  • Encouraging others to harass or target users

Friendly rivalry and banter are welcome, but users should always remain respectful.

We reserve the right to remove or require changes to usernames, avatars or profile information that breach these guidelines.

05Fair Play Principles

The App is designed to reward skill, knowledge and participation.

Users must compete honestly and fairly.

Any attempt to manipulate rankings, scores or competitions may result in penalties or account suspension.

06One Account Per User

Unless expressly authorised, users should maintain only one active account.

Creating multiple accounts to gain an unfair advantage is prohibited.

Examples include:

  • Entering the same league with multiple accounts
  • Artificially boosting rankings
  • Circumventing account restrictions
  • Manipulating competitions or standings

07No Cheating or Exploitation

Users must not:

  • Exploit bugs, glitches or technical issues
  • Use automated tools, bots or scripts
  • Manipulate league scoring systems
  • Interfere with platform functionality
  • Attempt to access data belonging to other users
  • Reverse engineer or attack the App’s systems

If you discover a bug or vulnerability, please report it to us rather than exploiting it.

08League Participation

League creators and participants should act in good faith.

Users must not:

  • Deliberately sabotage leagues
  • Create leagues for abusive purposes
  • Mislead participants regarding league rules
  • Use leagues to harass or target individuals

League administrators are responsible for setting reasonable league rules and managing their communities appropriately.

09Rewards, Forfeits and Private Arrangements

The App may allow users to create private leagues and assign rewards, prizes or forfeits among participants. Users must not create forfeits that are illegal, dangerous, harmful, abusive, discriminatory, or otherwise inappropriate.

  • The App does not collect, hold, administer or distribute money, prizes or rewards.
  • Any private arrangements are solely between participants.
  • The App is not responsible for enforcing, monitoring or resolving disputes relating to rewards, prizes or forfeits.
  • Users participate in such arrangements at their own risk.

Participants should ensure any arrangements comply with applicable laws and are appropriate for the ages of all participants involved.

10Rankings and Competition Integrity

Scores, rankings and leaderboard positions are generated automatically according to the App’s scoring systems.

We reserve the right to:

  • Correct scoring errors
  • Recalculate results
  • Remove fraudulent entries
  • Adjust rankings where necessary to maintain fairness

Our decisions regarding competition integrity are final.

11Fixture Changes and Exceptional Events

Occasionally events outside our control may affect competitions.

Examples include:

  • Match postponements
  • Event cancellations
  • Competition restructures
  • Data provider errors
  • Technical failures

Where necessary, we may amend scoring calculations or competition outcomes to preserve fairness.

12Reporting Concerns

Users are encouraged to report:

  • Harassment
  • Abuse
  • Child safety concerns
  • Fraudulent behaviour
  • Cheating
  • Offensive content
  • Security vulnerabilities

Reports should be made through the App or by contacting support.

13Enforcement

Where these Guidelines are breached, we may take action including:

  • Content removal
  • Warning notices
  • Username changes
  • League restrictions
  • Temporary suspension
  • Permanent account termination

The severity of enforcement will depend on the nature and seriousness of the violation.

14Appeals

Users who believe enforcement action has been taken incorrectly may contact support and request a review.

We will review appeals in good faith but reserve the final decision regarding account enforcement and moderation actions.

15Updates to These Guidelines

We may update these Guidelines from time to time to reflect changes to the App, user behaviour, legal requirements or community needs.
