Compliance Policy
- Effective date:
- October 21, 2026
- Company:
- Stakkit
Stakkit is open to every capper. This policy sets out the few things we don’t allow, what happens when someone does them, and what cappers and subscribers can each expect from us. We kept the list of prohibited conduct short and specific so that an honest capper never has to wonder whether they’re at risk.
This policy is part of our Terms of Service. Where the two differ on a compliance matter, this policy applies.
1. An open platform
Any capper can join Stakkit and sell picks through it. We don’t screen cappers out for the size of their audience, the sports or markets they cover, how long they’ve been at it, or which other platforms they use. You can run Stakkit alongside any other service.
We will never remove a capper for:
- A losing record, a cold streak, or a negative ROI. Publishing losses honestly is what a verified record is for.
- Low volume, a small subscriber count, or a new account.
- Their betting style, unit sizing, sport, league, or market.
- Criticising Stakkit, recommending a competitor, or leaving and coming back.
- Pricing their picks however they choose.
Removal is reserved for the four kinds of conduct in section 2. Everything else is handled with a warning and time to fix it, as described in section 7.
2. What gets an account removed
The following conduct defrauds subscribers or damages trust in every honest capper on the platform. It leads to immediate removal, without a warning first.
1. Selling “fixed matches.” Offering, advertising, or selling picks described as fixed, rigged, pre-arranged, or based on “inside information” about a result. This includes “100% sure” or “guaranteed fix” offers, asking for upfront payment to reveal a fixed game, and splitting-winnings schemes built on a claimed fix. These offers are a well-known scam. Where there is any sign of real match-fixing, we will also report it to the relevant authorities and sports integrity bodies.
2. Faking a record. Any attempt to make a track record look better than it is, including:
- Entering, editing, or backdating a pick after the event has started.
- Deleting or hiding losing picks, or trying to interfere with automated grading.
- Misstating the odds, units, or line a pick was released at.
- Posting doctored screenshots, bet slips, or results, on or off Stakkit.
- Running several accounts with opposing picks and promoting whichever one wins, or otherwise cherry-picking which record to show.
- Displaying a “verified” badge, ranking, or Stakkit grade you have not earned.
3. Taking money without delivering. Charging subscribers for a service and then not providing it. Examples: collecting a subscription and posting no picks for the period sold, selling packages or “VIP” tiers that don’t exist, or disappearing after a billing cycle. A capper who has to stop for a genuine reason must tell subscribers and handle refunds under their own policy (section 4). That is not a violation.
4. Impersonation. Presenting yourself as another capper, brand, sportsbook, media outlet, or as Stakkit staff; copying another capper’s profile, branding, or record and passing it off as your own; or creating an account designed to be confused with an existing one.
3. Honest marketing
These rules apply wherever you promote picks you sell through Stakkit: your profile, Discord, Telegram, social media, and paid ads. Breaking them leads to a warning first, not removal, unless it amounts to one of the four violations above.
- Do not promise guaranteed wins, “risk-free” bets, or a guaranteed profit. Betting involves risk of loss, and your marketing must not suggest otherwise.
- Results you advertise, such as win rate, ROI, units, or streaks, must match your Stakkit record for the period you state. If you quote results from elsewhere, say where they come from.
- Do not target anyone under 21 or anyone you know has self-excluded from gambling.
- Include any disclosures the law requires in the places where you advertise.
4. Your own terms and policies
When you sell picks, your subscribers are your customers, not ours. Every capper who sells through Stakkit must publish their own customer-facing policies before taking payment, and keep them available to subscribers at all times. At a minimum they must cover:
- Terms of service: what subscribers are buying, how picks are delivered, how often, and on which channels.
- Refund and cancellation policy: whether and when you give refunds, how a subscriber cancels, and what happens if you pause or stop your service.
- Privacy notice: what subscriber data you collect, why, and how subscribers can contact you about it. For subscriber data in Stakkit, you are the controller and we act as your processor (see our Privacy Policy).
- Responsible gambling notice: that picks are informational, that betting carries risk, that subscribers must be 21 or older, and where to find help.
- Contact details: a working way for subscribers to reach you about billing and disputes.
Write them on the Policies page of your Stakkit dashboard. They are shown on your public profile and at checkout, where each subscriber must agree to them before paying, and we record which version they agreed to. Until they’re published, subscribers can’t check out. Creators who were already live before this page existed have until November 9, 2026.
You are responsible for the content of your policies and for following them. We don’t write, review, or approve them, and publishing them on Stakkit doesn’t mean we endorse them. Your policies cannot override our Terms or this policy, or take away rights your subscribers have by law. If a capper is selling without these policies in place, we will ask them to add them and may pause selling features until they do.
5. Payments, refunds and chargebacks
Subscriber payments go directly to the capper. Subscribers pay into the capper’s own Stripe account. Stakkit never receives, holds, or controls that money, so we cannot issue refunds, reverse charges, or settle chargebacks on it.
- A subscriber who wants a refund must contact the capper first, under the capper’s refund policy.
- If the capper doesn’t resolve it, the subscriber can raise a dispute with their card issuer or bank. That dispute is between the subscriber, the capper, and the capper’s payment processor. Stakkit is not a party to it and will not refund or compensate subscribers in its place.
- Cappers are responsible for responding to disputes in their own Stripe account and for any chargeback fees or losses.
No refunds for removed accounts. A capper removed for any of the conduct in section 2 receives no refund of Stakkit subscription fees, for the current period or any earlier one. The 90-day keep guarantee in our Terms does not apply to removed accounts.
Although we hold no subscriber funds, we keep timestamped pick records, delivery logs, and account history. When a capper is removed for fraud, we will preserve those records and, where the law allows, provide them to card issuers, payment processors, or law enforcement handling a related dispute or investigation.
6. How we investigate
We act on evidence, not accusations. Concerns reach us in three ways:
- Automated checks on pick timestamps, edit history, grading, and patterns across accounts.
- Reports from subscribers, cappers, and the public (section 9).
- Notices from payment processors, platforms such as Discord and Telegram, and authorities.
A person on our team reviews the evidence before any account is removed. We may ask the capper for an explanation or supporting information. While an investigation into a removal-level concern is open, we may temporarily hide the account from the leaderboard and Discover, or pause new sign-ups to it, to protect subscribers. A temporary measure is not a finding of wrongdoing.
7. What happens when rules are broken
Removal-level conduct (section 2). If we confirm it, we remove the account immediately. That means:
- The account is closed and all access ends.
- The public profile and leaderboard entries are taken down.
- Connected Discord and Telegram bots are disconnected from the account.
- No refund of Stakkit fees is given (section 5).
- New accounts opened by the same person or business may be closed without notice. Creating an account to get around a removal is itself a violation of our Terms.
- Where appropriate, we may tell affected subscribers that the capper is no longer on Stakkit.
Everything else. For other breaches of our Terms or this policy, such as marketing that overstates results or missing customer policies, we send a written warning that explains the problem and what to change. You then have 7 days to fix it. If it isn’t fixed, we may restrict the affected features until it is. Repeated or ignored warnings can lead to suspension.
We send notices to the email on your account. Keep it current; a notice sent there counts as delivered.
8. Appeals
If you think we got a decision wrong, you can appeal within 14 days of our notice. Email hello@stakkit.app with the subject “Compliance appeal”, your account handle, and any evidence that supports your case.
- Where possible, someone who wasn’t involved in the original decision reviews the appeal.
- We aim to respond within 14 days of receiving everything we need.
- If we overturn a removal, we restore the account and its records. If we uphold it, the decision is final.
9. Reporting a capper
If you believe a capper is selling fixed matches, faking a record, taking money without delivering, or impersonating someone, email hello@stakkit.app with the subject “Compliance report”. Include:
- The capper’s Stakkit handle or profile link.
- What happened and when.
- Any evidence you have, such as screenshots, messages, receipts, or links.
We keep the identity of people who report confidential, unless the law requires otherwise or you agree to share it. A capper who retaliates against someone for reporting them will be treated as having broken this policy. Knowingly false or malicious reports, including reports made to damage a competitor, are also a violation.
If you have lost money, also contact your card issuer or bank promptly, since dispute deadlines are short. If you believe a crime has been committed, report it to your local police.
10. For subscribers
Stakkit gives you something most of the pick-selling market doesn’t: a record you can check. Before you subscribe:
- Look at the capper’s verified record, including the losses, and the period it covers.
- Read the capper’s terms and refund policy, so you know what you’re buying.
- Treat any offer of a “fixed match” or guaranteed win as a scam, wherever you see it, and report it to us.
A verified record shows what a capper has done in the past. It doesn’t predict what they will do next, and Stakkit doesn’t guarantee any capper’s results or conduct. Only bet what you can afford to lose.
11. Age and responsible gambling
Stakkit is for people aged 21 and over, or older where the local legal gambling age is higher. We are not a sportsbook and do not accept or place bets. Picks are for informational purposes only.
Cappers must not market to minors or to people who have self-excluded. Accounts that appear to belong to someone under the minimum age will be closed.
If you or someone you know has a gambling problem, call 1-800-GAMBLER or visit ncpgambling.org.
12. Legal requests and cooperation
Each capper is responsible for making sure that selling picks is lawful where they and their subscribers are. Stakkit does not provide legal advice on this.
We respond to valid legal process, such as subpoenas and court orders, and we cooperate with law enforcement, sports integrity bodies, and payment networks investigating fraud or match-fixing, within the limits of the law and our Privacy Policy. We don’t provide our service to people or businesses subject to sanctions, or in countries under comprehensive sanctions.
13. Changes and contact
We review this policy as the platform and the law change. If we make a material change, we will tell cappers by email or in the app at least 14 days before it takes effect and update the effective date above. Changes don’t apply to conduct that happened before they took effect.
Questions about this policy go to the Stakkit compliance team at hello@stakkit.app. This policy is governed by the laws of the United States, as set out in our Terms of Service.
