Disclaimer & Responsible Gambling

01Analytics and Research Only

Ball Metrics IQ provides analytics and research only. We do not accept wagers, place bets, or handle gambling funds.

Every rating, projection, ranking and explanation on the platform is a statistical estimate built from public and licensed data. It is a research input, not a recommendation to act.

02No Guarantee of Success

Nothing on Ball Metrics IQ guarantees betting success or profit. Models are wrong regularly — on individual games and across losing stretches.

Any figure describing model performance is historical and descriptive. It is not a promise of future returns.

03Past Performance

Past performance does not guarantee future results. Rosters, injuries, weather, market efficiency and rule changes all shift the environment a model was measured in.

04Sports Betting Involves Risk

Sports betting involves real financial risk, including the total loss of the money you wager. Sportsbooks price markets with a built-in margin, and most bettors lose money over time.

Only wager money you can afford to lose. Never bet money set aside for rent, bills, debt or family obligations, and never chase losses.

05Not Financial or Gambling Advice

Ball Metrics IQ does not provide financial, investment, tax, legal or gambling advice. Nothing on the platform should be treated as a recommendation to place any specific wager.

All betting decisions are yours alone, and you are solely responsible for their outcomes.

06Legality and Eligibility

Ball Metrics IQ is intended only for users who are at least 21 years old. By creating an account or purchasing a subscription, you represent and warrant that you are at least 21 years old. If an account is found to belong to someone under 21, Ball Metrics IQ may suspend or terminate that account.

Sports betting is not legal in every jurisdiction. You are responsible for knowing and following the laws where you live.

07Responsible Gambling

We want Ball Metrics IQ to make betting more informed, not more frequent. Set limits before you play and treat any wager as entertainment spending.

• Set a budget and a loss limit, and stop when you reach it.
• Never chase losses with larger wagers.
• Do not bet while stressed, intoxicated or trying to solve a financial problem.
• Take regular breaks and use deposit, time and self-exclusion tools at your sportsbook.

08Getting Help

If gambling stops being fun, help is free and confidential. In the United States, call or text 1-800-GAMBLER, or chat at ncpgambling.org.

Outside the United States, contact your national problem-gambling helpline. Every licensed sportsbook is also required to offer self-exclusion tools.
