Terms of Service
Effective Date: April 4, 2026 · Last Updated: April 4, 2026
1. Acceptance of Terms
These Terms of Service ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and tipmarket ("Company," "we," "us," or "our"), a California-based company operating the tipmarket platform at tipmarket.co (the "Platform"). By accessing, browsing, or using the Platform, creating an account, purchasing a subscription, or posting content, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms and our Privacy Policy, which is incorporated by reference.
If you do not agree to these Terms, you must not access or use the Platform. Your continued use of the Platform after any modifications to these Terms constitutes acceptance of such changes.
2. Eligibility & Age Requirement
You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction, whichever is greater) to access or use the Platform. By creating an account or using the Platform, you represent and warrant that you meet this age requirement.
The Platform is not directed to individuals under 18. We do not knowingly collect personal information from minors. If we become aware that a user is under 18, we will terminate their account and delete their data promptly.
You further represent that you are legally permitted to use the Platform in your jurisdiction. It is your sole responsibility to determine whether accessing or using the Platform complies with applicable laws in your location, including any laws related to sports betting, gambling, or the sale of information services.
Geographic Restrictions: Certain features of the Platform, including the purchase and sale of paid picks, subscriptions, and paid storefronts, are not available in all U.S. states. We use IP-based geolocation to restrict paid transactions in states where regulatory conditions make the operation of a sports picks marketplace legally impermissible. Users in restricted states may still access free content, follow tipsters, and post free picks. The list of restricted states may change at any time without notice as regulatory conditions evolve. Attempting to circumvent geographic restrictions (including through VPNs or proxy services) is a violation of these Terms and may result in account termination.
3. Account Registration & Security
To access certain features, you must create an account with accurate, current, and complete information. You agree to update your information to keep it accurate. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activities that occur under your account.
You agree to:
- Create only one account per person
- Notify us immediately of any unauthorized access to your account
- Not share, sell, or transfer your account to any third party
- Not use another person's account without their permission
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, contain false information, or are used for fraudulent purposes.
4. Platform Description & Entertainment Disclaimer
tipmarket is a marketplace that enables users to share sports opinions ("picks") on upcoming games across leagues including the NBA, NFL, MLB, and NCAAB. The Platform provides features including:
- Posting and viewing sports predictions and analysis
- Following other users and subscribing to premium content
- Viewing real-time scores, odds data, and game information
- Auto-grading of predictions based on actual game outcomes
- Community features including game chat and reactions
No guarantee of accuracy. tipmarket does not guarantee the accuracy, reliability, or completeness of any content on the Platform, including user-posted picks, accuracy statistics, odds data, or game information. Past performance of any user does not guarantee future results. You acknowledge that sports outcomes are inherently unpredictable and that all picks are subjective opinions, not predictions of certain outcomes.
Not a gambling operator. tipmarket does not accept, process, facilitate, or broker any sports wagers. We are not a sportsbook, betting exchange, or gambling operator. We do not have any affiliation with or endorsement by any sportsbook or gambling operator unless explicitly stated.
Odds data. Betting odds and lines displayed on the Platform are provided for informational purposes only and are sourced from third-party data providers. Odds may not reflect real-time pricing and should not be relied upon for wagering decisions. Always verify odds directly with a licensed sportsbook before placing any wager.
5. Subscriptions, Billing & Cancellation
5.1 Subscription Plans
Certain content on the Platform is designated as premium ("PRO") and accessible only through paid subscriptions to individual content creators ("Sellers"). Subscription prices are set by Sellers and are displayed before purchase. All prices are in United States Dollars (USD).
5.2 Payment Processing
All payments are processed by our third-party payment processor, Whop, Inc. ("Whop"). By making a purchase, you also agree to Whop's Terms of Service. tipmarket does not store your credit card information. A combined platform and processing fee of 5% + 30¢ per transaction is deducted from each payment before the Seller receives their payout.
5.3 Automatic Renewal
Subscriptions automatically renew on a 30-day billing cycle unless you cancel before the next renewal date. By subscribing, you expressly consent to automatic recurring charges at the then-current rate until you cancel. You will receive a confirmation of your subscription terms, including the price, billing cycle, and cancellation instructions at the time of purchase.
5.4 Free Trials
Some Sellers may offer free trial periods. If you sign up for a free trial, your payment method will be charged at the stated subscription price at the end of the trial period unless you cancel before the trial expires. We will send a reminder email before your trial converts to a paid subscription.
5.5 Cancellation
You may cancel any subscription at any time through your account settings on the Platform. Cancellation is effective immediately. After cancellation, you will retain access to the subscribed content until the end of your current billing period. No partial refunds will be issued for unused portions of a billing period unless otherwise required by applicable law.
To cancel a subscription, navigate to Settings → My Subscriptions and select "Cancel" next to the relevant subscription.
5.6 Refunds
Refund eligibility is determined on a case-by-case basis. You may request a refund within 3 days of a charge by contacting us at admin@tipmarket.co. Refunds for Seller bans or content removal will be prorated automatically. We reserve the right to deny refund requests that appear fraudulent or abusive.
5.7 Price Changes
Sellers may change their subscription prices. Any price change will take effect at the start of your next billing cycle. You will be notified by email of price changes that affect your active subscriptions and may cancel before the new price takes effect.
6. Seller Terms & Obligations
Users who sell subscriptions on the Platform ("Sellers") agree to the following additional terms:
6.1 Seller Eligibility
You must be at least 18 years old, a legal resident of a jurisdiction where selling information services is permitted, and must provide accurate payout information. Paid storefronts are not available in states where geographic restrictions apply (see Section 2). Sellers are responsible for complying with all applicable tax obligations including income reporting. Whop may issue IRS Form 1099-K to Sellers who meet applicable reporting thresholds.
6.2 Content Standards
Sellers must post genuine, original analysis and predictions. Sellers shall not:

- Engage in deceptive marketing or exaggerate past performance
- Offer picks that facilitate illegal gambling activity
6.3 Revenue & Payouts
Seller payouts are handled by Whop and subject to Whop's payout schedule and policies. A combined platform and processing fee of 5% + 30¢ per transaction is deducted from each payment (comprising Whop's standard processing fee of 2.7% + 30¢ and tipmarket's platform fee of 2.3%). tipmarket does not hold, manage, or transmit Seller funds — all financial operations are conducted by Whop and its payment partners.
6.4 Independent Contractors
Sellers are independent users of the Platform, not employees, agents, or representatives of tipmarket. tipmarket does not endorse, verify, or guarantee the quality, accuracy, or profitability of any Seller's content.

13.4 Exceptions
Notwithstanding the above, either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent the actual or threatened infringement of intellectual property rights. Claims within the jurisdiction of a small claims court may also be brought in such court.
