Terms of service.

Who we are

ArbStrike (the website arbstrike.com, the scanner, and the alerts it sends) is the service these terms cover. In these terms "ArbStrike", "we" and "us" mean the operator of that service. You can reach us at [email protected].

These terms apply whenever you use ArbStrike, with or without an account. By creating an account or buying a plan you agree to them. If you do not agree, do not use the service.

They are read together with the Privacy Policy, the Cookie Policy, the Refund Policy and the 18+ and responsible gambling page.

What ArbStrike is, and is not

ArbStrike is an information tool. It reads the odds that bookmakers publish, compares them, and reports the cases where the prices on the outcomes of one event differ enough that backing every outcome would return more than the total staked (an "arb"), along with value bets and related figures.

ArbStrike does not take bets, does not place bets for you, and never holds or moves your money. Every bet you make is a contract between you and a bookmaker.

• We are not a bookmaker, a betting exchange, a betting agent or a gambling operator.
• We do not give betting, financial, investment, tax or legal advice. Nothing on the site is a recommendation to place a bet.
• We are not connected with, endorsed by or paid by the bookmakers whose odds we show, unless a page says so.

Who may use it

You may use ArbStrike only if all of these are true:

• you are at least 18 years old, or the legal age for gambling where you live if that is higher;
• using a betting-information service, and betting with the bookmakers you choose, is legal where you are;
• you are using it for yourself and not on behalf of a bookmaker or a competing service.

Betting law differs from country to country, and so do bookmakers' licences. Checking what is legal for you, and paying any tax on your winnings, is your responsibility. We do not check it for you, and showing a bookmaker on the site does not mean you are allowed to bet there.

Your account

The free scanner works without an account. An account is needed for saved filters, for error reports and for paid plans.

• Give an email address you can read; we use it for login, password resets and messages about your plan.
• Keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for what is done through your account; tell us at once if you think someone else has got in.
• An account is personal. Do not sell it, rent it out or pass it on.
• You can connect a Telegram account to receive alerts and disconnect it at any time on the Account page.
• You can close your account whenever you like by writing to [email protected] from its email address.

Plans and prices

There are three plans. What each one shows is set out on the Pricing page, which is part of these terms.

Prices are in US dollars and do not include VAT or sales tax. Where tax applies it is added at checkout, and you see the total before you pay.

We may change a price. A new price applies to you from your next renewal, and only after we have told you by email at least 30 days before. If you do not want it, cancel before that renewal.

Paying by card

Card payments are taken by Whop (Whop, Inc., whop.com). Whop runs the checkout, charges your card, sends the receipt and handles any tax on the sale; its own terms and privacy policy apply to the payment. Your card details go to Whop. We never receive or store them.

• It is a subscription. A card plan is charged when you buy it and then again every month on the same day, at the price then in force, until you cancel.
• Cancel any time. Use the "Manage subscription" link on your Account page, which opens your orders at Whop, or write to us. Cancelling stops future charges. Your plan stays open until the end of the month you have already paid for.
• Failed payments. If a renewal cannot be charged, the plan ends or is paused until payment succeeds.
• Moving up to Elite. Buying Elite while you have Pro starts an Elite subscription at its own price. Your Pro subscription is cancelled for you and is not charged again. No credit is given for the Pro days that were left, since Elite includes everything in Pro.

Paying with crypto

Where crypto payment is offered, it is handled by NOWPayments. A crypto payment buys 30 days of a plan. It does not renew, so there is nothing to cancel; buying again adds 30 days to what you have left.

• Send the exact amount shown on the invoice, in the currency and on the network shown. Network fees are yours.
• The plan starts when the network has confirmed the payment and the processor has told us. This can take from minutes to a few hours.
• If less than the price arrives, the plan may not start. Write to us with the payment ID and we will sort it out.
• Crypto transfers cannot be reversed. Where a refund is due it is made as described in the Refund Policy.

Cancelling, withdrawing, refunds

The full rules are in the Refund Policy. In brief: you can cancel at any time and keep access to the end of the paid period; consumers in the EU, the EEA and the UK can withdraw from a first purchase within 14 days and pay only for the days already provided; beyond that, refunds are given where the law requires them and otherwise at our discretion, for example when you were charged by mistake.

Launch offer and promotions

For a limited time after launch the Free plan shows more arbs than it will later. The limit in force, and the limit that follows, are shown on the Pricing page. A launch offer is not a discount on a paid plan; it ends on the date shown, or, where no date is shown, when we announce its end on the site.

Other promotions run on the terms published with them. Unless those say otherwise, a promotion cannot be combined with another one, exchanged for money or applied to a purchase already made.

Partner links

Some visitors reach us through a partner's link. Partners are independent: they are not our employees or agents and cannot make promises for us. If a partner told you something about ArbStrike that these terms or the site do not say, it does not bind us.

If you accept the partner cookie, we remember the link you came through for 60 days, and a partner may earn a commission when you buy a plan. The price you pay is the same either way. How this uses your data is explained in the Privacy Policy.

Fair use

You may use ArbStrike for your own betting decisions. You may not:

• resell, republish or pass on the alerts or the data, in a channel, a group, a tool or a service of your own;
• collect the data with scripts, scrapers or bots, or use the service to build or feed a competing product;
• get round the limits of your plan, or use someone else's paid access;
• load the service in a way that harms it for others, probe it for weaknesses, or interfere with how it works;
• send error reports you know to be false in order to hide arbs from other users;
• use it for anything unlawful.

If you break these rules we may suspend or close the account (see section 18).

What the numbers mean, and your risk

No profit is guaranteed. An arb on the screen is a difference between published prices at one moment. Whether you can turn it into money depends on things we do not control.

• Prices move. Odds can change or disappear between our scan and your bet, and between your first bet and your second. If only one side is placed, you hold an ordinary bet that can lose.
• Our data can be wrong. Odds come from third parties and are read by software. A price may be out of date, misread, or attached to the wrong game, market or line. "Verified" means our checks found that the bookmakers were listing the same game; it does not mean a bet will be accepted, will stand or will win.
• Bookmakers set the rules. A bookmaker can refuse a bet, cut your stake, void a bet after taking it (for example under a "palpable error" rule), settle a market differently from another bookmaker, limit or close your account, or hold up a withdrawal. Many forbid arbitrage in their terms.
• The stakes are arithmetic. Stake and return figures are worked out from the odds shown and the amount you typed. They ignore limits, fees, currency conversion and tax.
• The record is history. The public log shows what the scanner reported. It is not a statement of what any user won, and past figures do not predict future ones.

Check every price on the bookmaker's own site before you bet, and bet only money you can afford to lose. You decide what to bet, where and how much, and the result is yours.

Bookmakers and other sites

Links to bookmakers are there to save you time. We do not control those sites, we are not a party to anything you do there, and we are not responsible for their odds, their rules, their decisions or their solvency. Your dealings with a bookmaker are governed by its terms. Reading them, including what they say about arbitrage, bonuses and the country you bet from, is up to you.

Telegram alerts

Alerts are delivered through Telegram, a service we do not run. We cannot promise that a message arrives, or arrives in time. An arb may be gone by the time you read the alert. Telegram's own terms apply to your use of it.

Availability and changes to the service

We work to keep the scanner running and accurate, but it is provided as it is. It depends on bookmakers' sites, networks and suppliers that can fail or block us, so we do not promise that it will be uninterrupted, that every arb will be found, or that any particular bookmaker, sport or market will stay covered.

We may add, change or remove features. If a change takes away a substantial part of a plan you have paid for, you may cancel and ask for a refund of the unused part of the current period.

Ownership

The site, the software, the design, the name and the mark belong to us or to those who license them to us. While you follow these terms you have a personal, non-transferable permission to use the service for the purpose in section 11. Nothing else is granted. Bookmakers' names and marks belong to their owners and are used only to say whose odds are shown.

Our liability

Nothing in these terms limits liability that the law does not allow to be limited: for death or personal injury caused by negligence, for fraud, for intent or gross negligence, or for your rights as a consumer that cannot be waived.

Apart from that, and as far as the law allows:

• we are not liable for betting losses, for bets that were refused, changed or voided, for limited or closed bookmaker accounts, for money held by a bookmaker, or for profit you expected and did not make;
• we are not liable for loss caused by events outside our reasonable control, including failures of bookmakers, payment processors, Telegram, hosting or networks;
• we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss;
• our total liability to you in connection with the service is limited to the amount you paid us for it in the 12 months before the event that gave rise to the claim.

If you are a consumer, you also have the legal rights your country gives you when a digital service is not as agreed. These terms do not take them away.

Suspension and closing

You can stop using ArbStrike at any time; cancelling a plan and closing an account are described above.

We may suspend or close an account, with notice where that is practical, if you seriously or repeatedly break these terms, if a payment is reversed or disputed without good reason, or if we have to by law. Where we close an account for a breach, no refund is due unless the law requires one.

We may also stop offering the service, or a plan, altogether. If we do, we will give paying users at least 30 days' notice where we can and refund the unused part of any period already paid for.

Changes to these terms

We may update these terms, for example when the service or the law changes. The date at the top shows the latest version. If a change matters to your rights or obligations, we will tell account holders by email at least 14 days before it takes effect. If you do not accept the new terms you may cancel before then; using the service after that date means you accept them.

Law and disputes

If a dispute arises, write to us first and we will try to resolve it with you directly. If you are a consumer, nothing in these terms takes away the protection that the mandatory law of the country where you live gives you.

If you are a consumer, this does not take away the protection of the mandatory rules of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts of that country.

Please write to us first. Most problems are solved with one email to [email protected]. Consumers in the EU can also turn to a consumer dispute body in their own country; we are not obliged to take part in such a procedure and will tell you case by case whether we do.

The rest

• If a court finds part of these terms invalid, the rest still applies.
• If we do not enforce a right at once, we can still do so later.
• You may not transfer your rights under these terms. We may transfer ours to a company that takes over the service, and will tell you if that happens.
• These terms, the pages named in section 1 and the Pricing page are the whole agreement between us about the service.
• The English text is the binding one. A translation is a convenience.
