Introduction & Parties
These Terms and Conditions (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the SportKen platform, website, and associated services (“the Service”).
The Service is operated by [COMPANY NAME PTY LTD] (ABN: [ABN]), a company registered in Australia, with its registered address at [REGISTERED ADDRESS] (“SportKen”, “we”, “us”, “our”).
Eligibility & Age Restrictions
To use the Service, you must:
- Be at least 18 years of age. The Service is strictly for adults.
- Have the legal capacity to enter into a binding contract in your jurisdiction.
- Not be prohibited from using the Service under any applicable law or regulation.
- Reside in a jurisdiction where accessing sports analytics and data intelligence services is lawful.
Age Restriction & Verification
If you are under 18 years of age, you are strictly prohibited from using this Service. We reserve the right to terminate accounts immediately and without refund where we have reason to believe the account holder is under 18.
We may use third-party age assurance and identity verification services (such as Stripe Identity) to verify your age. By using the Service, you consent to such verification where we deem it necessary to comply with Australian online safety regulations.
Nature of the Service (Not Financial Advice)
Not a Bookmaker or Financial Advisor
SportKen is an independent sports analytics and data intelligence platform. We provide statistical analysis, predictive modelling, confidence scoring, and data-driven insights for informational and entertainment purposes only.
All content on the Service, including “Lab States”, “Proof Factors”, “Our Thoughts”, “Confidence Scores”, “Win Probability”, “Place Probability”, “Fair Value Odds”, and any other analysis:
- Is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only.
- Does not constitute financial advice, investment advice, betting tips, or a recommendation to place any wager.
- Does not guarantee any outcome — sports and racing results are inherently unpredictable.
- Should not be relied upon as the sole basis for any betting or financial decision.
- Past performance of any model, signal, or analysis does not guarantee future results.
Responsible Gambling
SportKen is committed to responsible gambling. If you choose to use our data to inform betting decisions, you must do so responsibly and within your means.
- Never gamble with money you cannot afford to lose.
- Set and adhere to personal betting limits.
- Do not chase losses.
- Gambling should be entertainment, not a source of income.
- If gambling is affecting your relationships, finances, or mental health, seek help immediately.

Referral Program & Rewards
SportKen may offer a referral program (“the Program”) where users can earn credits or rewards by referring new subscribers.
