House Rules
Terms & Conditions
Welcome to The Pundit. By creating an account or playing, you agree to these terms. They are intentionally short, in plain English, and written for the game we actually run.
1. What this is
The Pundit is a free-to-play prediction game built around football tournaments. It uses a virtual stake currency. There is no real money, no cash-out, and no gambling.
2. Your account
- You must provide a valid email and a password.
- One account per person. Don't impersonate anyone else.
- You're responsible for keeping your password safe.
3. Fair play
- No bots, scripts, or automated picks.
- No exploiting bugs or manipulating the pot.
- We may suspend accounts that break these rules.
4. Match data & settlement
Match results come from third-party data providers. We settle predictions based on the official full-time result. If a match is voided or data is disputed, we may reverse a settlement to keep the game fair.
5. Your data
We store the minimum we need to run the game. See our Privacy Notice for details. You can delete your account at any time from your account page. Past picks are kept in anonymised form to preserve historical fairness of the pot.
6. The game can change
This is an editorial game and an evolving product. We may adjust rules, balances, or features between tournaments. Material changes will be communicated in-app.
7. No warranty
The Pundit is provided "as is". We do our best to keep it accurate and online, but we don't promise zero downtime, zero bugs, or perfectly settled matches.
