Responsible Use

MatchupLab is research, not certainty

Model scores and confidence labels are decision-support tools. They are not promises, guaranteed winners, or instructions to risk money. HOLD is a valid result and should stay a HOLD when the required evidence is missing.

Keep betting optional

• Use only money you can afford to lose.
• Do not borrow money to wager.
• Set time and spending limits before betting.
• Do not chase losses or increase risk because of a losing streak.
• Do not treat a high MatchupLab score as a reason to ignore your limits.

Legal age and location

Only use betting-related features if you meet the legal age and geographic requirements in your jurisdiction. MatchupLab does not determine your sportsbook eligibility.

If gambling stops feeling controlled

Stop wagering and use a gambling-support resource in your area. In the United States, you can call or text 1-800-GAMBLER for confidential support. If there is an immediate safety emergency, contact local emergency services.

Product safeguards

MatchupLab does not execute wagers, does not claim guaranteed profit, keeps incomplete markets on HOLD, separates sportsbook pricing from research scores, and preserves frozen pregame results so losses are not rewritten after the fact.
