Terms of use: what this site is, what it promises, and what it does not

These are the terms on which this website is made available. They are short by the standards of the genre because the site does very little: it publishes pages and links to three betting operators, from whom it earns a commission. It holds no money, runs no games and has no accounts. Most of what follows is about the limits of what a guide can promise.

Adults onlyInformation, not adviceOperator sites have their own terms

The short version

The whole of these terms, compressed. The sections below expand each point.

  1. This site is for adults. Betting with anyone under eighteen is an offence in Zambia.
  2. Everything here is general information, not legal, tax, financial or medical advice.
  3. We try hard to be accurate and we will be wrong sometimes. Check anything that matters against the primary sources we link.
  4. We are paid commissions by three betting operators. That is disclosed at the top of every page where it applies.
  5. When you leave for an operator’s site, their terms govern, not ours.
  6. We cannot intervene in anything between you and an operator.

Age and eligibility

The one term here that is not ours to soften.

This site is intended for people aged eighteen or over. In Zambia it is an offence under the Betting Control Act for a bookmaker or their staff to bet with anyone under eighteen, and under-eighteens are prohibited from licensed betting premises entirely, for any purpose. That is statute rather than an operator’s policy or ours.

By using this site you confirm that you are of legal age to do so where you are, and that gambling is lawful for you there. Laws differ by country and it is your responsibility to know your own; nothing here should be read as advice that betting is lawful in any particular place.

If you are under eighteen

There is no version of this that ends with you being paid. Identity verification happens at the withdrawal, documents are compared against the payment method and the account, and an underage account does not get paid regardless of what it won. Nothing on this site is for you.

Information, not advice

The distinction matters more on this site than on most, because several pages describe statutes and taxes.

Everything published here is general information. It is not legal advice, tax advice, financial advice or medical advice, and reading it does not create any professional or advisory relationship between you and us. We are not lawyers, accountants or clinicians, and we do not know your circumstances.

If your question is aboutWho to ask instead
Whether a tax applies to your particular situationA Zambian tax adviser. Our tax page describes the published rules; it cannot describe your position.
Whether to pursue an operator over a refused payoutA Zambian lawyer, if the sum justifies it. Our complaints page sets out what routes exist, not whether yours is worth taking.
Whether an operator is safe to useNobody can answer that categorically on a market with no public register. We describe what is claimed and at what evidence level; the decision is yours.
Whether gambling is affecting your healthA doctor. Our page on staying in control is not a diagnosis and we are not qualified to give one.

Accuracy, and the limits of it

We take this seriously and we are still going to be wrong sometimes.

This site is built from primary sources where they exist, and every page carries the date it was last checked. That date means somebody went back to the sources rather than glancing at the page. Our method page sets out the evidence levels we use and records corrections we have already made.

None of that amounts to a warranty. Laws change, operators change their terms silently, wallet limits move without announcement, and some of what we rely on is second-hand because the primary source is behind a geographic restriction we cannot pass. Where a page depends on something we could not verify, it says so, and those statements are the ones to treat with most care.

  1. Check anything that matters against the linked source. Every page carries its sources at the foot, and they are primary texts rather than summaries wherever we could get them.
  2. Treat figures as of the checked date. Rates, limits and terms are all moving targets on this market.
  3. Tell us when we are wrong. Corrections with evidence are the fastest thing we act on, and we rewrite pages rather than appending notes.
  4. Do not rely on this site as your only source for a decision involving real money. That is not modesty; it is the correct way to use any guide, including a careful one.

Where our responsibility ends, precisely.

This site links to two kinds of external destination: government and legal sources, and betting operators. We control neither. A link is not an endorsement of everything on the destination, and it is not a statement that the destination is safe, lawful for you, or currently saying what it said when we linked it.

When you follow a link to an operator, you leave this site. From that point their terms and their privacy policy govern your relationship with them, and ours are irrelevant to it. We have no visibility of your account, no ability to see your balance or your bets, and no ability to influence any decision they make about you.

What this means when something goes wrong

A dispute with an operator is between you and that operator, and where applicable the authority that licensed them. We can point at the routes — our complaints page does exactly that — and we cannot walk them for you. Writing to us instead of to the operator costs you time while the evidence goes stale.

The commercial relationship

Set out in the terms as well as in the pages, so it is not merely an editorial promise.

We earn a commission when a reader opens an account with one of the three operators linked from this site. There is no subscription, no display advertising, and no paid placement from any other party. The mechanism — the redirect layer and what travels with you — is described on our privacy page.

That relationship is disclosed in the first paragraph of every operator page rather than in a footer. It does not entitle any operator to influence what we publish, and the conditions under which we would remove a commercial link are published in advance on our method page. What it does mean is that we are not a neutral party, and no disclosure changes that.

Acceptable use of this site

Short, because the site is read-only and there is little to misuse.

  1. Read it, quote it, link to it. Quoting with attribution and a link is welcome and needs no permission.
  2. Do not scrape it wholesale or republish it as your own. The pages here took considerable work with primary sources, and the market is already full of copied templates.
  3. Do not use it to imply an endorsement. Nothing here endorses an operator, and presenting it as though it does is a misrepresentation of what the pages actually say.
  4. Do not attempt to interfere with the site. The usual: no attacks, no attempts to gain unauthorised access, no automated activity that degrades it for other readers.
  5. Do not send us things we have said we do not want. Credentials, PINs, one-time codes and identity documents are listed on our privacy page for a reason.

Content and copyright

Ordinary terms, with one clarification that matters here.

The text and layout of this site are ours. Quotation with attribution is fine; wholesale reproduction is not. Where we reproduce short passages from statutes or regulations, those are public legal texts and we link to the official publications rather than claiming them.

Two specific cases, because they come up. Translation: rendering these pages into Bemba, Nyanja or any other language and republishing them is reproduction rather than quotation, and it needs asking first — if the motive is genuinely to make the material reachable for people who need it, ask and the answer will usually be yes. Automated reuse: ingesting these pages to generate a competing guide is the specific practice that filled this market with pages quoting a tax rate that stopped being correct in 2023, and it is not something we are willing to license.

Operator names, logos and marks belong to their owners and appear here for identification. Their presence does not indicate any relationship beyond the commercial one disclosed above, and it does not indicate that any operator has reviewed, approved or agreed with what we write about them.

Liability

Stated plainly rather than in three hundred words of capitals.

This site is provided as it is. We do not warrant that it will be uninterrupted, error-free or complete, and we do not accept liability for losses arising from reliance on it — including betting losses, tax outcomes or decisions made about an operator.

That is not an attempt to disclaim carelessness; the accuracy commitments above are real and we act on them. It is a recognition of what a guide can and cannot control. We cannot control whether an operator honours its terms, whether a law changes after we check it, or whether a reader wins or loses. Nothing on this site is a prediction, and gambling losses are the expected outcome of gambling.

The one thing worth taking from this section

Do not stake money on the basis of anything written here, including anything that sounds like an edge. Several pages exist specifically to explain why the edges claimed elsewhere do not exist, and none of them replaces those claims with an edge of ours.

Changes, and applicable law

How these terms change and which law governs them.

We may update these terms. Where a change alters what they mean, we rewrite the page rather than appending a notice, and the checked date at the top moves. Continuing to use the site after a change means the current version applies to you.

These terms and any dispute about them are governed by the law of the jurisdiction in which this site is published, and the courts of that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction over them. Nothing in these terms affects rights you have under the mandatory consumer law of your own country where that law applies to you regardless of choice.

Nothing here affects any relationship you have with a betting operator, which is governed entirely by that operator’s own terms and by whichever authority licensed it. On this market that authority is frequently not Zambian, and the consequences of that are set out on our licensing page.

These terms govern the use of this website only. They do not govern any betting account, any transaction with an operator, or any dispute arising from one. If a significant sum is involved in a dispute with an operator, take Zambian legal advice rather than relying on a guide. Checked on 31 August 2026. 18+.
