Terms of Use

Last updated: September 2026

These Terms of Use ("Terms") are a binding legal agreement between you and STAATY ("STAATY," "we," "us," "our") governing your access to and use of staaty.com and any related content, tools, and services (collectively, the "Site"). By accessing or using the Site, you agree to these Terms, including the binding arbitration and class action waiver in Section 14. If you do not agree, do not use the Site.

1. Not a Sportsbook — Informational and Entertainment Purposes Only

STAATY is an independent sports analytics and research publisher. We build and run our own statistical prediction models and publish the picks, probabilities, and accuracy figures they produce. STAATY is not a sportsbook, bookmaker, betting exchange, casino, or gambling operator, and is not licensed as one in any jurisdiction.

Everything on the Site — including win probabilities, spread and total predictions, accuracy histories, statistics, rankings, and written analysis — is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. Nothing on the Site is, or should be construed as, gambling advice, financial advice, investment advice, or a recommendation or inducement to place any wager. Past accuracy of any model or pick does not guarantee, and should not be relied on to predict, future results.

2. We Never Handle Your Money

Unlike a sportsbook, STAATY does not accept, hold, transmit, or process wagers, deposits, withdrawals, or any other funds from you, at any time, for any reason. We have no wagering relationship, custodial relationship, fiduciary relationship, or agency relationship with you. If you wager, you do so directly with a third-party, independently licensed sportsbook of your own choosing, under that sportsbook's own terms, and STAATY is not a party to that transaction in any way.

3. Assumption of Risk; No Liability for Wagering Outcomes

If you choose to place a wager with a third-party sportsbook or gambling operator, that decision, and all outcomes flowing from it, are entirely your own responsibility. You expressly acknowledge and agree that:

  • You use any prediction, pick, statistic, or other content on the Site entirely at your own risk and discretion, and your reliance on it is voluntary and at your sole election.
  • STAATY is not responsible or liable, directly or indirectly, for any loss or damage of any kind incurred as a result of, or in connection with, your use of, or reliance on, any content on the Site, including but not limited to any gambling losses, missed winnings, wagers placed, or other financial harm, regardless of the accuracy or inaccuracy of any prediction involved.
  • Sports outcomes are inherently uncertain. No prediction model, including ours, can guarantee, warrant, or ensure the outcome of any sporting event, wager, or parlay, and a stated "accuracy" or "win probability" figure is a historical backtest statistic, not a promise about any specific future event.

4. Eligibility, Age, and Legal Compliance

The Site is not directed at, and may not be used by, anyone under the age of 18, or the applicable legal age of majority in your jurisdiction if higher. Sports wagering itself is subject to separate, often stricter, age and eligibility rules that vary by state and country and are set by the third-party sportsbooks and regulators involved, not by STAATY.

Sports wagering is illegal or restricted in some jurisdictions. It is solely your responsibility to know and comply with the laws that apply to you, including any laws governing sports wagering, gambling, and the age at which you may legally engage in either. STAATY makes no representation that content on the Site is appropriate, legal, or available in any particular jurisdiction, and accessing the Site from jurisdictions where its content or sports wagering generally is illegal is prohibited.

5. Responsible Gambling

If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, help is available. Crisis counseling and referral services can be accessed by calling 1-800-GAMBLER (1-800-426-2537) or 1-800-MY-RESET, or visiting ncpgambling.org. See the Responsible Gambling notice on our betting pages for additional state-specific helplines and resources.

6. No Professional Advice

STAATY is not a financial advisor, investment advisor, statistician-for-hire, or licensed gambling consultant, and no content on the Site is prepared or reviewed by one on your behalf. Nothing on the Site creates a professional, advisory, or fiduciary relationship of any kind between you and STAATY.

7. No Affiliation With Any League, Team, or Sportsbook; Trademarks

References on the Site to the NBA, WNBA, NCAA, UFC, Power Slap, Street League Skateboarding, Pro Skate League, any team, league, athlete, or any sportsbook, and any associated names, logos, or trademarks, are used for identification and informational purposes only. STAATY is not sponsored by, endorsed by, affiliated with, or officially connected to any of them, and all such names, logos, and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners.

8. No Warranty; Accuracy of Data

The Site and all content on it are provided "AS IS" and "AS AVAILABLE," without warranty of any kind, express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of accuracy, completeness, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, and non-infringement. Statistical data, scores, schedules, and other information shown on the Site is drawn from publicly available and third-party sources, and while we make reasonable efforts to keep it accurate and current, STAATY does not warrant that any content on the Site is accurate, complete, reliable, or error-free, or that the Site will operate uninterrupted, secure, or error-free.

9. Limitation of Liability

TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT WILL STAATY, ITS OWNERS, OPERATORS, EMPLOYEES, OR AFFILIATES BE LIABLE FOR ANY INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR PUNITIVE DAMAGES, OR ANY LOSS OF PROFITS, REVENUE, DATA, OR GAMBLING WINNINGS, ARISING OUT OF OR RELATED TO YOUR ACCESS TO OR USE OF, OR INABILITY TO ACCESS OR USE, THE SITE OR ANY CONTENT ON IT, REGARDLESS OF THE LEGAL THEORY ASSERTED (CONTRACT, TORT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE), AND EVEN IF STAATY HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES. TO THE EXTENT ANY LIABILITY CANNOT BE EXCLUDED UNDER APPLICABLE LAW, STAATY'S TOTAL AGGREGATE LIABILITY TO YOU FOR ALL CLAIMS ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THE SITE IS LIMITED TO THE GREATER OF (A) FIFTY U.S. DOLLARS ($50), OR (B) THE TOTAL AMOUNT, IF ANY, YOU PAID STAATY IN THE TWELVE MONTHS BEFORE THE CLAIM AROSE. BECAUSE STAATY DOES NOT CHARGE FOR ACCESS TO THE SITE, THIS AMOUNT WILL TYPICALLY BE ZERO. SOME JURISDICTIONS DO NOT ALLOW CERTAIN LIABILITY LIMITATIONS, SO SOME OF THE ABOVE MAY NOT APPLY TO YOU, IN WHICH CASE LIABILITY WILL BE LIMITED TO THE SMALLEST EXTENT PERMITTED BY LAW.

10. Indemnification

You agree to indemnify, defend, and hold harmless STAATY and its owners, operators, employees, and affiliates from and against any claims, liabilities, damages, losses, and expenses, including reasonable attorneys' fees, arising out of or in any way connected with: (a) your access to or use of the Site; (b) your violation of these Terms; (c) your violation of any law or the rights of a third party; or (d) any wager you place or loss you incur with any third-party sportsbook, whether or not based on content from the Site.

11. Third-Party Services and Links

The Site uses third-party services, including Google Analytics and Google AdSense, and may link to third-party sportsbooks, data providers, or other external sites. STAATY does not control and is not responsible for the content, accuracy, terms, availability, or practices of any third-party site or service, including any sportsbook you may choose to use, and does not endorse any of them. Your interactions with any third party, including any sportsbook, are governed solely by the terms and policies of that third party. See our Privacy Policy for more on how third-party services are used on the Site.

12. Intellectual Property

The Site's design, text, graphics, prediction models, and underlying software are owned by STAATY or its licensors and are protected by copyright and other intellectual property laws. You may view and share content from the Site for personal, non-commercial use. You may not reproduce, redistribute, scrape, or create derivative works from the Site's content or underlying prediction data for commercial purposes without our prior written permission.

13. Prohibited Conduct

You agree not to:

  • Use automated means (bots, scrapers) to access or extract data from the Site outside of normal, individual browsing;
  • Interfere with or disrupt the Site's operation or security;
  • Misrepresent Site content as originating from a licensed sportsbook, financial advisor, or gambling operator;
  • Misrepresent your age or eligibility, or use the Site to circumvent any sportsbook's own eligibility, age, or geolocation rules; or
  • Use the Site in any way that violates applicable law.

14. Binding Arbitration and Class Action Waiver

Please read this section carefully. It affects your legal rights and requires most disputes to be resolved by individual arbitration rather than in court.

Any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Site (a "Dispute") will be resolved by binding, individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, rather than in court, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court if it qualifies. YOU AND STAATY EACH WAIVE ANY RIGHT TO A JURY TRIAL AND TO PARTICIPATE IN A CLASS ACTION, CLASS ARBITRATION, OR REPRESENTATIVE PROCEEDING. The arbitrator, not a court, will decide all issues relating to the enforceability of this arbitration provision.

30-day opt-out: You may opt out of this arbitration provision by sending written notice to danny@staaty.com within 30 days of first accepting these Terms, stating your name and a clear statement that you wish to opt out of arbitration. If you opt out, neither you nor STAATY will be required to arbitrate, but every other part of these Terms, including the class action waiver, still applies.

15. Changes to the Site and These Terms

We may modify, suspend, or discontinue the Site or any part of it at any time. We may also update these Terms from time to time; the "Last updated" date above reflects the most recent revision. Continued use of the Site after a change to these Terms means you accept the revised Terms.

16. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Kentucky, without regard to its conflict-of-laws principles. Subject to Section 14 (Binding Arbitration), any Dispute not subject to arbitration will be resolved exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Jefferson County, Kentucky, and you consent to the personal jurisdiction of those courts.

17. General Provisions

Severability. If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable (other than the class action waiver in Section 14, which is not severable from the arbitration agreement), the remaining provisions remain in full force and effect.

Entire Agreement. These Terms, together with our Privacy Policy, constitute the entire agreement between you and STAATY regarding the Site, superseding any prior agreements.

No Waiver. STAATY's failure to enforce any provision of these Terms is not a waiver of its right to do so later.

Assignment. You may not assign or transfer these Terms. STAATY may assign these Terms, including in connection with a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets.

Force Majeure. STAATY is not liable for any failure or delay caused by events beyond its reasonable control, including outages of third-party hosting, data, or payment providers.

Survival. Sections 2, 3, 6–14, and 16–17 survive any termination of your access to the Site.
