Terms and Conditions

1.1 These Terms and Conditions apply to the use of the Punts1 platform (the “Platform”), operated under the domain punts1.com.

1.2 The Platform is provided by the operator of the Platform under the “Punts1” brand. Contact details are set out in the Legal Notice of this website.

1.3 The Platform may only be used by persons aged 18 or over. By registering for or using the Platform you confirm that you are at least 18 years old.

2.1 Punts1 is a digital platform on which experts (the “Tipsters”) publish sports betting tips and predictions (the “Tips”). Users of the Platform (the “Users” or “Subscribers”) can view those Tips and take out a subscription. Subscriber content is delivered in particular via the messaging service Telegram.

2.2 The Platform provides information only. Neither the Platform nor the Tipsters provide financial advice, investment advice or any guarantee of winnings.

2.3 Punts1 is not a betting operator and does not accept, arrange or broker bets. Users who choose to place bets on the basis of the published Tips do so at their own risk and exclusively with licensed betting operators.

2.4 Punts1 does not provide facilities for gambling. Punts1 is therefore not an operator licensed by the Gambling Commission and, as a pure information service, is not required to hold a Gambling Commission operating licence.

3.1 Certain features of the Platform require registration. You must provide complete and truthful information when registering.

3.2 You are responsible for keeping your password and your account secure. Login credentials must not be passed on to third parties.

3.3 Punts1 reserves the right to suspend or delete accounts where misuse is suspected, where these Terms and Conditions have been breached or for other good reason.

3.4 Only one account is permitted per person. Creating multiple accounts is prohibited.

4.1 Tipsters may register on the Platform as providers of sports betting tips. Admission as a Tipster is at the sole discretion of Punts1.

4.2 Tipsters must publish only honest Tips prepared to the best of their knowledge and belief. Manipulating statistics and retrospectively editing or deleting Tips are prohibited.

4.3 Tipsters must not publish content that breaches applicable law, is misleading or causes harm to third parties.

4.4 Punts1 reserves the right to remove or block Tips or Tipster accounts without giving reasons, in particular where manipulation or misconduct is suspected.

5.1 Access to certain Tipster content requires a paid subscription. Unless stated otherwise on the Platform at the time of purchase, the following applies: a one-off activation fee of £7.95 gives you access for a 30-day trial period; after the trial period the subscription continues at £29.99 per 30-day period. An optional “Accas” upgrade is available for a one-off fee of £39.99. The prices and terms displayed on the Platform during checkout are decisive.

5.2 Subscriptions renew automatically for successive 30-day periods unless cancelled. You may cancel at any time; cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period, and you will not be charged for any further period. You retain access until the end of the period you have already paid for.

5.3 Payment is made via the payment methods offered on the Platform. Punts1 reserves the right to change its payment service provider or to add new payment methods.

5.4 Beyond your statutory rights (including those described in section 6), refunds are in principle excluded, unless a refund is required by law or Punts1 expressly agrees to a refund in an individual case.

6.1 If you are a consumer, you normally have the right under the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013 to cancel a contract concluded at a distance within 14 days without giving any reason.

6.2 Where you ask us to begin supplying the service, or to provide digital content, immediately — that is, before the end of the 14-day cancellation period — you expressly consent to immediate performance. In the case of digital content, you acknowledge that you lose your right to cancel once the supply has begun. In the case of services, if you cancel after performance has begun, you must pay an amount proportionate to what has been supplied up to the time you told us of your cancellation.

6.3 To exercise your right to cancel, send us a clear statement of your decision (for example by email to info@punts1.com) before the cancellation period expires.

6.4 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions affects your statutory rights as a consumer, including your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 to services performed with reasonable care and skill and to digital content that is of satisfactory quality, fit for purpose and as described.

7.1 All Tips published on Punts1 are opinions and assessments of the respective Tipsters. They do not constitute any guarantee of winnings and are not financial or investment advice.

7.2 Sports betting involves significant financial risk. You can lose your entire stake. Please only bet money you can afford to lose.

7.3 To the extent permitted by law, Punts1 is not liable for losses or damage arising from the use of Tips published on the Platform.

7.4 Punts1 accepts no responsibility for the accuracy, completeness or currency of content published by Tipsters.

7.5 Nothing in these Terms and Conditions excludes or limits liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation, or for any other liability that cannot be excluded or limited under the law of England and Wales. Subject to this, and to the fullest extent permitted by law, Punts1’s liability is limited to damage caused deliberately or through gross negligence.

8.1 Punts1 promotes responsible gambling. If you feel that sports betting is becoming a problem for you, please seek support from a specialist advice service.

8.2 Free, confidential help and advice are available from GambleAware at https://www.gambleaware.org and from GamCare via the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 (free of charge, available 24/7).

8.3 If you want to stop gambling online, you can register with GAMSTOP (www.gamstop.co.uk), the free national self-exclusion scheme that blocks access to betting accounts with operators licensed in Great Britain.

9.1 All content on the Platform (text, graphics, logos, software) is the property of Punts1 or the respective rights holders and is protected by copyright.

9.2 Reproducing, distributing or publishing content from the Platform without the express permission of Punts1 is prohibited.

9.3 By publishing content on the Platform you grant Punts1 a non-exclusive, worldwide right to use and display that content for the purposes of operating the Platform.

10.1 Using the Platform for unlawful purposes or in a manner contrary to applicable law.

10.2 Automated extraction of content (scraping), hacking or other attacks on the Platform’s infrastructure.

10.3 Distributing spam, malware or other harmful content.

10.4 Passing subscription content on to third parties, in particular sharing login credentials.

10.5 Creating fake reviews or manipulating the Platform’s statistics.

12.1 Punts1 reserves the right to amend these Terms and Conditions at any time. Users will be informed of material changes by email or via the Platform.

12.2 Continued use of the Platform after amended Terms and Conditions have come into force constitutes acceptance of the new terms. If you do not agree to a change, you may cancel your subscription with effect from the end of the current billing period.

13.1 Users may close their account at any time via the Platform or by emailing Punts1 at info@punts1.com.

13.2 Punts1 may suspend or close User accounts at any time and without notice in the event of a breach of these Terms and Conditions or for other good reason.

13.3 If an account is closed or suspended, subscription fees for periods already paid are in principle not refunded, unless Punts1 is responsible for the closure or a refund is required by law (including under section 6).

14.1 These Terms and Conditions are governed by the law of England and Wales. If you are a consumer, this choice of law does not deprive you of the protection afforded by mandatory provisions of the law of the country in which you are habitually resident (including, if you live in Scotland or Northern Ireland, the mandatory rules applicable there).

14.2 If you are a consumer resident in the United Kingdom, you may bring proceedings in the courts of the part of the United Kingdom in which you live, and proceedings may be brought against you only in those courts. For disputes with businesses, and to the extent permitted by law, the courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction.

14.3 We are not obliged, and do not agree, to participate in alternative dispute resolution proceedings before a consumer ADR body. Your right to bring proceedings before the ordinary courts is unaffected.
