Responsible Use & Risk Awareness

SmartAccumulator is a sports predictions and informational service only. We want every user to understand the risks linked to betting, their responsibilities and where to get help if things become a problem.

Last updated: 30 November 2025

1. We do not provide gambling or betting services

SmartAccumulator does not operate as a bookmaker, casino, betting exchange or gambling platform. We do not accept or process any bets, we do not offer betting accounts, and we do not handle deposits or withdrawals for gambling purposes.

Our Service consists solely of sports predictions, match analysis and informational content. Any reference to odds, markets or potential outcomes is purely informational and should not be interpreted as an instruction, encouragement or invitation to gamble.

2. Your decisions, your responsibility

If you choose to place bets with a third-party bookmaker or gambling operator based on information from SmartAccumulator, you do so entirely on your own initiative and at your own risk. You remain fully responsible for:

  • deciding whether to place a bet or not;
  • choosing the stake amount and markets you wish to play;
  • complying with all applicable laws and regulations in your jurisdiction.

SmartAccumulator cannot and does not take responsibility for any financial loss, harm or consequences that may arise from your betting or gambling activities.

3. No guarantee of accuracy or profit

While we aim to provide well-researched predictions and analysis, no prediction is guaranteed to be correct. Football and sports events are inherently uncertain and subject to random variation, injuries, refereeing decisions and other factors beyond anyone’s control.

Past performance, including any published statistics or win rates, does not guarantee similar outcomes in the future. Following our predictions may lead to wins, losses or long losing streaks. You should never stake money you cannot afford to lose, and you should not rely on any predictions as a source of guaranteed income.

4. Legal compliance and age restrictions

Our content is intended for adults aged 18 years or older (or the legal age of majority in your country, if higher). By using SmartAccumulator, you confirm that:

  • you are at least 18 years old (or the legal age of majority where you live);
  • accessing sports predictions content is lawful in your jurisdiction;
  • you will not use the Service in any way that violates local laws or regulations.

If sports betting or viewing related content is illegal where you live, you must not use SmartAccumulator.

5. No affiliation with bookmakers

SmartAccumulator is not affiliated with, owned by or controlled by any bookmaker, casino or gambling operator, unless explicitly stated in a dedicated partnership or sponsorship notice. We do not manage your accounts with any operator and we have no control over their limits, rules, bonuses, KYC processes or decisions.

Any relationship you have with a bookmaker, betting site or gaming operator is strictly between you and that third party. You must carefully read and understand their terms and conditions before using their services.

6. Recognising signs of problem gambling

Betting and gambling carry a real risk of financial loss and, for some people, can become addictive or harmful. You may be at risk of developing a problem if you:

  • regularly spend more money or time on betting than you planned;
  • chase losses by increasing your stakes after a bad run;
  • borrow money or use essential funds (rent, bills, food) to gamble;
  • hide your betting activity from family or friends;
  • feel anxious, depressed or irritable when you cannot place bets.

If any of the above sounds familiar, you should immediately reconsider your relationship with betting and consider seeking professional help.

7. Practical steps to stay in control

If you choose to bet, the following practical steps may help you stay in better control:

  • Set a clear monthly budget for entertainment and never exceed it.
  • Use only money you can afford to lose – never use funds meant for essentials.
  • Limit the time you spend checking odds, placing bets or watching results.
  • Avoid betting when you are tired, stressed, angry or under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
  • Take frequent breaks and have other non-gambling hobbies and activities.

8. Self‑exclusion, blocking tools and support options

If you feel that betting is starting to harm you, consider taking one or more of the following actions:

  • Activate self-exclusion or time‑out tools offered by your bookmaker or gambling operator.
  • Use website and app blocking tools (such as gambling site blockers or DNS filters) on your devices.
  • Speak to a professional counsellor or support organisation that specialises in gambling problems.

Many countries have dedicated helplines and organisations that offer free, confidential support. Examples include:

  • GamCare (UK): www.gamcare.org.uk
  • BeGambleAware (UK): www.begambleaware.org
  • Gambling Therapy (International): www.gamblingtherapy.org

Please check which services are available in your own country or region. If you are in immediate distress or feel at risk of self‑harm, you should contact your local emergency services or a crisis hotline straight away.

9. Our responsibility and limitations

SmartAccumulator takes responsible use seriously and will never claim that our predictions are risk‑free or that they will make you rich. However, we cannot monitor or control how each individual user behaves on third‑party platforms.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, SmartAccumulator cannot be held liable for:

  • any financial losses you incur as a result of betting or gambling;
  • any harm to your mental, physical or social well‑being linked to betting activities;
  • any actions taken by third‑party bookmakers or gambling operators.

More details about our legal position and limitations of liability can be found in our Terms & Conditions.
