These Terms of Service (the "Terms") are a binding agreement between you and Betvisors, Inc. ("Betvisors," "we," "us," or "our"). They govern your access to and use of our website at www.betvisors.com (the "Website"), our application at app.betvisors.com (the "App"), and all related features, content, and services (together, the "Service"). By accessing or using the Service, creating an account, or clicking to accept, you agree to these Terms and to our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference. If you do not agree, do not use the Service.
PLEASE READ SECTION 17 (DISPUTE RESOLUTION) CAREFULLY. IT REQUIRES DISPUTES TO BE RESOLVED BY BINDING INDIVIDUAL ARBITRATION AND WAIVES YOUR RIGHT TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, SUBJECT TO A 30-DAY OPT-OUT AND THE CARVE-OUTS DESCRIBED THERE.
1. Who We Are and What the Service Is
Betvisors is a sports betting advisory and media platform. Independent users ("Advisors," also called Betvisors) post their own sports betting picks ("Picks"), analysis, and betslip images. Other users ("Bettors") can follow Advisors and "tail" their Picks, and may pre-commit a voluntary tip that is only charged if the Pick wins (the "Tip if it Hits" model).
BETVISORS IS NOT A SPORTSBOOK, CASINO, BOOKMAKER, OR GAMBLING OPERATOR. WE DO NOT ACCEPT, PLACE, BROKER, OR SETTLE BETS OR WAGERS, AND WE DO NOT HOLD STAKES OR PAY OUT WINNINGS. ANY BET YOU PLACE IS MADE BY YOU, AT YOUR OWN RISK, WITH A THIRD-PARTY SPORTSBOOK, NOT WITH BETVISORS.
Picks and other content on the Service are opinions and are provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. They are not, and must not be relied upon as, gambling, betting, financial, investment, legal, tax, or other professional advice. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or outcome of any Pick. Past performance and historical records are not a guarantee or indicator of future results. You are solely responsible for your own betting decisions and any resulting losses.
2. Eligibility and Age
You must be at least 21 years of age if you are located in the United States, or at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is higher) if you are located outside the United States, and you must have the legal capacity to enter into these Terms. By using the Service you represent that you meet these requirements.
The Service is operated from the United States and is available only in jurisdictions where access to sports betting advisory content is lawful. You are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you, and you may not use the Service where it is prohibited. We may restrict access from any jurisdiction at our discretion.
3. Accounts
You must provide accurate, current, and complete information when you register and keep it updated. You are responsible for safeguarding your login credentials and for all activity under your account. You may not share your account, create more than one account without our permission, or impersonate anyone. Notify us promptly of any unauthorized use. We may refuse, suspend, or terminate accounts at our discretion, including under Section 16.
4. Advisor Subscription and Fees
Bettors use the Service for free. There is no charge to browse, follow Advisors, or tail Picks (Tips are separate and voluntary, see Section 5).
Advisors pay a subscription of $5.00 per month (the "Advisor Subscription") to post on the platform and collect Tips. The Advisor Subscription also includes access to premium Pick posting, performance analytics, the Advisor marketing toolkit, promotion of the Advisor across Betvisors marketing channels for added exposure, and eligibility for shoutouts on Betvisors marketing channels. There is no annual option.
The Advisor Subscription is billed monthly through our payment processor, Stripe, and renews automatically each month until canceled. By subscribing, you authorize recurring monthly charges to your payment method until you cancel. You may cancel at any time through Stripe, accessible in your platform account settings; cancellation stops future renewals and takes effect at the end of the current billing period. Except where required by law, subscription fees are non-refundable and we do not provide refunds or credits for partial months or unused features. We may change subscription pricing or features on prospective notice; continued use after the change takes effect is acceptance of the new price.
5. Tips and the "Tip if it Hits" Model
A Bettor may pre-commit a voluntary tip to an Advisor when tailing a Pick. The tip is authorized at the time of tailing but is only captured and charged if the Pick is graded as a win. If the Pick does not win, the authorization is released and no tip is charged. Tips are voluntary gratuities for an Advisor’s content and effort; they are not a wager, a purchase of a bet, or consideration for any betting outcome.
Betvisors retains a platform fee of 30% of each tip plus a $0.30 processing fee, and the remainder is paid to the Advisor. Tips are processed in US dollars; if you are outside the United States, your bank or payment provider may apply currency conversion or other fees. Tips, once charged on a winning Pick, are non-refundable except where required by law.
6. Payments and Stripe
All payments (Advisor Subscriptions and Tips) are processed by Stripe, our third-party payment processor, and are subject to Stripe’s terms and privacy policy. We do not collect or store your full payment card or bank account numbers; Stripe handles that information. You are responsible for any taxes on Tips you receive as an Advisor. You agree not to initiate improper chargebacks; we may suspend accounts that engage in payment fraud or abuse.
7. Your Content and the License You Grant Us
You retain ownership of the Picks, betslip images, analysis, comments, profile information, and other content you submit ("User Content"). You grant Betvisors a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free, transferable, and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, modify (for formatting), publish, display, distribute, and otherwise use your User Content, and to use your username, handle, avatar, likeness, and performance statistics, in order to operate, improve, and promote the Service, including across our marketing and social media channels. This license continues for content you have made public or that has been shared, even after you remove it, to the extent needed for backups, legal compliance, and prior promotion.
You represent and warrant that you own or have all rights to your User Content, that it is accurate and not misleading (including any betting records or results), and that it does not infringe any third party’s rights or violate any law. We are not obligated to monitor User Content, but we may review, remove, or refuse any content at our discretion, and we are not responsible or liable for User Content posted by you or others.
8. Acceptable Use
You agree not to: post false, manipulated, or misleading Picks, records, or betslips; use the Service for any unlawful purpose or where betting or advisory content is illegal; engage in money laundering or fraud; harass, abuse, or harm others; infringe intellectual property; scrape, crawl, or harvest data, or use bots except as we expressly permit; reverse engineer, interfere with, or attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Service; or circumvent any access, security, or usage limits. We may investigate and take action, including removal of content and termination, for any violation.
9. Intellectual Property
The Service, including its software, design, text, graphics, and the marks "Betvisors" and "Tip if it Hits," is owned by Betvisors or its licensors and is protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable license to access and use the Service for its intended purpose. No other rights are granted, and you may not use our marks without our prior written permission.
10. Third-Party Services and Links
The Service may link or route you to third-party sportsbooks (including through integrations such as Gambly deep links) and other third-party sites and services. We do not control and are not responsible for third-party services, their content, or their terms, and your use of them is at your own risk and subject to their terms and policies. Any bet you place with a sportsbook is solely between you and that sportsbook.

12. Disclaimers
THE SERVICE AND ALL CONTENT, INCLUDING PICKS, ARE PROVIDED "AS IS" AND "AS AVAILABLE," WITHOUT WARRANTIES OF ANY KIND, WHETHER EXPRESS, IMPLIED, OR STATUTORY, INCLUDING IMPLIED WARRANTIES OF MERCHANTABILITY, FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE, TITLE, AND NON-INFRINGEMENT.
Without limiting the above, we do not warrant that the Service will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or available at any particular time, that Picks or other content will be accurate or profitable, or that any betting outcome will occur. We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Service at any time without liability. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain warranty exclusions, so some of these exclusions may not apply to you.
13. Limitation of Liability
TO THE FULLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW, BETVISORS AND ITS OFFICERS, DIRECTORS, EMPLOYEES, AND AGENTS WILL NOT BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR FOR ANY LOST PROFITS, LOST BETS, LOST WINNINGS, GAMBLING LOSSES, LOST DATA, OR LOSS OF GOODWILL, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY.
OUR TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SERVICE OR THESE TERMS WILL NOT EXCEED THE GREATER OF (A) THE TOTAL AMOUNTS YOU PAID TO BETVISORS IN THE 12 MONTHS BEFORE THE EVENT GIVING RISE TO THE CLAIM, OR (B) ONE HUNDRED US DOLLARS ($100).
These limitations do not apply to liability that cannot be limited or excluded under applicable law (for example, certain liability for gross negligence, willful misconduct, fraud, or, for consumers, mandatory statutory rights). If you are an EU/UK consumer, nothing in these Terms limits your mandatory statutory rights.
14. Indemnification
You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless Betvisors and its officers, directors, employees, and agents from and against any claims, damages, liabilities, losses, and expenses (including reasonable legal fees) arising out of or related to: your User Content; your use of the Service; your betting activity; your violation of these Terms or any law; your infringement of any third-party right; or taxes owed on Tips you receive. We may assume the exclusive defense of any matter subject to indemnification, and you agree to cooperate.
15. Termination
You may stop using the Service at any time, and Advisors may cancel the Advisor Subscription as described in Section 4. We may suspend or terminate your access at any time, with or without notice, including for any violation of these Terms or any conduct we believe is harmful to the Service, other users, or us. Upon termination, your right to use the Service ends. Sections that by their nature should survive (including Sections 5-9 and 12-18) will survive termination.
16. Changes to the Service and These Terms
We may modify the Service or these Terms at any time. If we make material changes to these Terms, we will update the "Last updated" date and provide reasonable notice (for example, by posting on the Service or by email). Changes are effective when posted unless stated otherwise. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance.
17. Dispute Resolution: Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver
Informal resolution first: before filing a claim, you agree to contact us at the address in Section 20 and try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 30 days.
Binding arbitration: except as stated below, you and Betvisors agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Service will be resolved by final and binding individual arbitration administered by a recognized arbitration provider (such as the American Arbitration Association or JAMS) under its consumer rules, before a single arbitrator, in the English language. The Federal Arbitration Act governs the interpretation and enforcement of this section. Judgment on the award may be entered in any court of competent jurisdiction.
CLASS ACTION WAIVER: YOU AND BETVISORS AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY, AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY CLASS, COLLECTIVE, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. THE ARBITRATOR MAY NOT CONSOLIDATE MORE THAN ONE PERSON’S CLAIMS. YOU AND BETVISORS WAIVE THE RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL.
30-day opt-out: you may opt out of this arbitration and class-action-waiver section by sending written notice within 30 days of first accepting these Terms to the contact address in Section 20, stating your name, account email, and intent to opt out. Opting out does not affect the rest of these Terms.
Exceptions: either party may bring an individual claim in small-claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court for intellectual property misuse or unauthorized access. If this arbitration section is found unenforceable, disputes will be resolved in the courts identified in Section 18.
Consumers outside the US: if you are a consumer in the European Union, the United Kingdom, or Canada, nothing in this Section 17 deprives you of mandatory protections under the laws of your country of residence, and you may bring claims in the courts of your home jurisdiction. This arbitration requirement applies only to the extent permitted by the mandatory law that applies to you.
18. Governing Law and Venue
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict-of-laws rules. To the extent a dispute is not subject to arbitration, it will be brought in the state or federal courts located in Delaware, and you consent to their jurisdiction. If you are a consumer located in the EU, UK, or Canada, nothing here limits your right to the mandatory consumer protections and courts of your country of residence.
19. International Users and Local Law
The Service is controlled and operated from the United States. We make no representation that the Service or its content is appropriate or available in every location. If you access the Service from outside the United States, you do so on your own initiative and are responsible for compliance with local laws, and you consent to the transfer and processing of your information in the United States as described in our Privacy Policy.
20. Contact, Notices, and Communications
Betvisors, Inc., 3074 Madison Road, Cincinnati, OH 45209. General and legal notices (including arbitration opt-out): support@betvisors.com. Privacy requests: privacy@betvisors.com. We may provide notices to you by posting on the Service or emailing the address on your account, and you consent to receive communications electronically.
Marketing emails: by creating an account and providing your email address, you agree that we may send you marketing and promotional messages about Betvisors, including new features, Advisors, plays activity, and offers. You can opt out at any time using the unsubscribe link in any marketing email or your account settings, and we will honor opt-outs promptly. Opting out of marketing does not stop transactional or service messages (for example account, security, payment, and legal notices), which are part of using the Service. Where the law of your location requires prior opt-in consent for marketing (for example the EU, UK, and Canada), we will send marketing emails only after you have given that consent, and you may withdraw it at any time. Our marketing emails identify us and include a postal address as required by law.
21. Miscellaneous
These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the entire agreement between you and Betvisors regarding the Service and supersede prior agreements. If any provision is held unenforceable, the rest remains in effect and the unenforceable provision will be modified to the minimum extent necessary. Our failure to enforce a provision is not a waiver. You may not assign these Terms; we may assign them, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets. We are not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond our reasonable control. Section headings are for convenience only.
