Terms & Conditions

1. About this service

These Terms govern your use of Matchup Engine, operated by Mitchell John Fuller, a sole trader trading as Matchup Engine (ABN 15 729 771 132) ("Matchup Engine", "we", "us" or "our").

Matchup Engine is an independent sports analytics product. It provides model-based matchup analysis, ratings, rankings and related information for sporting competitions supported by the product from time to time. Feature coverage differs by competition. Some features may be available only for particular competitions or parts of the product, and a feature may be labelled as beta, preview or in development while it is being validated.

Matchup Engine is not a bookmaker. We do not accept, transmit, or place bets, hold wagering funds, or execute wagering transactions. By using this site, you agree to these Terms.

2. Analytics content only

All rankings, ratings, grades, probabilities, matchup scores, featured player selections, generated combinations, and market comparisons are model estimates produced for informational and entertainment purposes only. Displayed market prices and market lines are reference information obtained from third parties. None of this is financial advice, gambling advice, a recommendation to wager, or a guarantee of any outcome.

Where the product labels a player as a "Pick", that label identifies a featured player selection produced by Matchup Engine analytics. It is not a recommendation to place a wager.

Access to this site unlocks analytics content only. No rating, player selection, generated combination, or access product guarantees any return, profit, winning bet, or successful outcome.

Matchup Engine rankings cover selected playing positions and player roles within each competition. Not every player, position or role is rated, and the players included in a published board may change up to and during a match. Coverage and eligible positions differ by competition and may change as the product develops.

3. Generated combinations

Where the Combo Builder is available, it may generate multi-leg, cross-game combinations based on settings such as selected games, model profile, target odds, maximum legs, and search modifiers. Its outputs are analytical combinations only, not instructions to bet, staking advice, or a statement that any bookmaker will offer, accept, or settle the same combination.

Same-game combinations are excluded by the product. Bookmaker markets, prices, eligibility rules, limits, suspension status, and combination rules can change at any time. You should independently verify current markets and rules with the relevant bookmaker.

4. Eligibility

You must be 18 years of age or older to use parts of the site that display odds, market prices or market lines and to purchase paid access. By using those parts of the site or making a purchase, you confirm that you meet this requirement. If the law of the place where you are located sets a higher minimum age for viewing wagering-related information, you must also meet that requirement.

5. Access and accounts

Some Matchup Engine content is public or free, including previews, sample games, rounds or games we designate as free, and completed rounds while they remain hosted (as described in section 6). An account is required for account features, the Matchup Challenge, and content that the product identifies as account-gated or paid. Free content and features may change or be withdrawn, subject to the paid-access promises in these Terms.

Paid access is tied to the Matchup Engine account that made the purchase. It is personal, non-transferable, and for your own non-commercial use. You may not share, resell, redistribute, or systematically extract content unlocked by a purchase.

Signing in with a different email address, authentication method, or account does not automatically transfer a purchase. Contact us if you believe you created duplicate accounts or cannot access the account that made a purchase.

You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account and login credentials. You must not knowingly allow another person to use your account to access paid content or otherwise circumvent access restrictions. Contact us promptly if you believe your account has been accessed without permission.

If you ask us to delete the purchasing account, you will lose access tied to that account. Account deletion does not transfer paid access to another account or automatically create a refund. This does not affect any right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

6. Round Passes, purchases and billing

A Round Pass is a one-off, non-recurring purchase that unlocks the full published Matchup Engine analysis for one specified NRL round, including the published game boards, player rankings, ratings, matchup analysis, and featured player selections made available for that round. Finals rounds may be sold as Round Passes in the same way and are identified by the round they cover.

We may also sell a pass that covers more than one specified NRL round, such as a finals pass covering specified finals weeks, or an upgrade that adds specified later rounds to access you already hold. The rounds covered, the price, any eligibility conditions and the period during which the pass or upgrade is offered are stated at purchase. Unless we state otherwise at purchase, each round covered by a multi-round pass or upgrade is treated as a Round Pass for that round under these Terms, including the minimum availability period and the refund provisions. A full refund or payment reversal of a multi-round pass or upgrade payment removes the access granted by that payment as a whole, as described in section 7; it does not affect a Round Pass purchased separately. A multi-round pass or upgrade can be purchased only during the sale period we state, and not after the first round it covers has stopped being offered for sale.

The purchased round remains available to the purchasing account before, during, and after its games are played. We will keep it available on the website for at least 35 days after the final game in that round finishes. If a game is postponed, abandoned, cancelled, or rescheduled, we may reasonably determine when the round has finished by reference to the official competition schedule and the way the round is completed in the product. After the minimum period, we may archive or remove the round from the website. Purchase and payment records may be retained even after the content is removed.

A Round Pass is not a subscription. There is no auto-renewal, no recurring charge, and no ongoing obligation. It covers the specified round only and does not include any other round, season, membership, product, or future content.

A round is offered for sale only while it is upcoming or in progress. Once every game in a round has kicked off, it is no longer available to purchase. We may stop offering a round before then, but doing so does not remove a Round Pass already purchased for that round.

We may make a game freely readable as a sample. A sample is offered at our discretion, is not available in every round, and is not part of the paid entitlement.

After we mark a round complete, and while it remains hosted, we make that round freely readable to signed-in accounts. This includes a round that was previously sold. Making it free later does not reduce the earlier access delivered to a buyer and does not, by itself, create a refund entitlement.

Starting or abandoning checkout does not create a purchase or grant access. A purchase is complete only when payment is successfully confirmed. Access is normally granted automatically, but payment and access confirmation can occasionally take a short time. If Stripe confirms payment but access is not visible, refresh the site, check the purchasing account, and contact support rather than paying again.

Payments are processed by Stripe. By completing a purchase you authorise Stripe to charge your selected payment method for the displayed price. We do not receive or store your card number, CVV, or full payment details. Stripe may email a receipt to the email address associated with your account. Prices are displayed and charged in Australian dollars (AUD), and the displayed amount is the total price charged by Matchup Engine. We may change prices for future purchases; this does not affect a completed purchase.

We may offer discount codes. A code is offered at our discretion, may have limits on use and eligibility, may be withdrawn, has no cash value, and cannot be applied retrospectively to a completed purchase.

Our systems may prevent the same account from purchasing the same Round Pass more than once. If you believe you were charged twice, contact support. If you initiate a fraudulent chargeback, knowingly dispute a legitimate charge you authorised, or otherwise abuse the purchase system, we may revoke the associated access or suspend the account. This does not limit your right to dispute a genuinely unauthorised charge or any non-excludable right or remedy.

7. Refunds

We do not provide refunds merely because you change your mind after purchase, do not use the access, are dissatisfied with a model output or result, or because a player, projection, team, or wager does not perform as expected.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or modified. Where the law entitles you to a remedy, you remain entitled to it.

The following circumstances, by themselves, do not mean that the service has failed and do not automatically entitle you to a refund:

• changing your mind after purchase
• a lineup projection, roster, team selection or player availability changing or being incorrect, including a positional reshuffle, late team change, withdrawal, or difference between a projected and actual lineup
• a player not scoring, a statistic or market line not being reached, or a wager losing
• dissatisfaction with a model output, probability, rating, ranking, projection, player selection, or round result
• bookmaker prices, markets, or availability changing or differing from information previously displayed
• not reading or using the purchased content
• the purchased round later becoming free as described in section 6
• the round being archived after the minimum availability period described in section 6

A full refund or payment reversal removes the access granted by that payment. A partial goodwill refund does not necessarily remove the whole entitlement. If you later want to obtain the same Round Pass, contact us to discuss the available options.

If you believe something has genuinely gone wrong—for example, you were charged but access was not delivered, a payment was duplicated, or a payment was unauthorised—contact us at support@matchupengine.com and we will investigate and provide any remedy required by law.

7A. Optional support payments

You may choose to make a one-off payment to support Matchup Engine's infrastructure and development. Support is voluntary, is not a subscription, does not recur automatically, and provides no additional content, access, entitlement, ranking benefit, advice, or guaranteed outcome.

A support payment is not a charitable donation or tax-deductible gift. The selected amount is displayed and charged in AUD. Payments are processed by Stripe, and we do not receive or store your card number, CVV, or full payment details.

If a support payment is duplicated, unauthorised, or processed incorrectly, contact support. Nothing in this section excludes, restricts, or modifies a consumer right or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded.

8. Odds and market prices

Where market odds, bookmaker prices or market lines are displayed, they are shown for comparison and informational purposes only. A displayed price or line may reflect the time it was published, refreshed, or viewed and may change at any time.

Market information may be obtained from third-party data sources and may reflect markets offered in Australia or overseas. A market reflected in the product may not be available to you, or lawful, in your location. Information about selected third-party data sources, including market data sources, appears on our Data & Licences page.

Displayed odds and lines are not guaranteed to be current, accurate, executable, available to you, or combinable in the way shown. The bookmaker controls its markets, prices, account rules, customer eligibility, limits, and settlement.

9. Bookmaker links and wagering operators

Matchup Engine may provide outbound links to bookmaker websites so users can check the latest market directly. When you follow a link, you leave Matchup Engine and interact with the bookmaker under its own terms, rules, and privacy policy.

Where bookmaker links are active, we aim to link only to Australian-licensed wagering operators. Bookmaker links are not provided for every competition or part of the product. You are responsible for checking whether an operator is legal and suitable for your location and circumstances.

Bookmaker names, marks, prices, and links are used for identification and market-comparison purposes. Their display does not imply that a bookmaker endorses or sponsors Matchup Engine.

10. No financial or gambling advice

Nothing on this site constitutes financial advice, investment advice, gambling advice, or a recommendation to place a bet. All model outputs and content are estimates. You are responsible for decisions you make based on information provided on the site.

11. Data, projections and model limitations

Model outputs are based on historical data, published statistics, third-party data sources, available market information, publicly announced information, and, for some competitions, manual analysis and data entry. Third-party data may be delayed, revised or corrected by its publisher after we have used it. Outputs may contain errors, omissions, delays, or inaccuracies. Past performance does not guarantee future results.

Lineups, rosters, positions, roles, player availability and matchups shown on the site are projections based on information available at the time. Team selections are fluid: teams may name a player in one position and use them in another, make late changes, rest, withdraw or rule out players, or reshuffle during a match. Those changes may not be reflected immediately in published analysis.

We make reasonable efforts to correct relevant known changes, but do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, timeliness, or fitness for a particular purpose of model outputs or other information, subject to rights and guarantees that cannot lawfully be excluded. You should independently verify current team and market information before acting on it.

Information about selected third-party data sources we use, and any licence attribution they require, is published on our Data & Licences page.

12. Gambling harm and support

Gambling involves real financial risk and should never be treated as a guaranteed income source or recovery system. Please read our Gambling Support & Analytics Disclaimer.

12A. Matchup Challenge and display identity

Challenge rules, entry windows, scoring, and availability may be displayed within the product and may change between rounds. We may make technical corrections where picks, results, or rankings were recorded or calculated incorrectly.

If you choose a leaderboard display name, you must have the right to use it and must not impersonate another person or use unlawful, misleading, abusive, or infringing material. We may hide or remove a display name that breaches these Terms.

13. Acceptable use

You must not misuse the service or interfere with its normal operation. This includes unauthorised access to accounts, systems, data, paid content, or administration; bypassing access controls; scraping or systematically extracting content; introducing malicious code; abusing APIs or rate limits; or threatening the security, availability, or functionality of the service.

We may restrict or suspend access where we reasonably believe an account is breaching these Terms or threatening the service.

14. Intellectual property

Except for third-party names, trademarks, data, openly licensed data, and other materials belonging to their respective owners or licensors, the Matchup Engine product and its original content—including branding, interface design, original graphics and artwork, written analysis, rankings, ratings, grades, model outputs, and other original materials—are owned by or licensed to Matchup Engine.

You may not reproduce, distribute, scrape, republish, or commercially exploit Matchup Engine content without written permission.

15. Third-party services and independence

Matchup Engine is independent and is not endorsed by, sponsored by, connected with or officially associated with any league, competition, governing body, club, team or player unless expressly stated otherwise.

References to competitions, teams, players and matches identify the subject matter of independent commentary and analysis. Third-party names, marks, data and other materials remain subject to the rights of their respective owners. Original Matchup Engine artwork is unofficial and does not reproduce official league, club or team logos.

Authentication and data storage use Supabase, and payments use Stripe. Those services operate under their own terms and privacy policies. We do not guarantee that the service or third-party infrastructure will be continuously available or free from interruptions, errors, or maintenance. Non-excludable rights and remedies remain unaffected.

16. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Matchup Engine and its operator are not liable for losses arising from reliance on model outputs, projections, rankings, ratings, grades, featured player selections, generated combinations, displayed market information and market lines, third-party data, or other analytics content.

You are responsible for decisions informed by the service, including any independent decision to wager. Sports outcomes, player performance, team selections, market prices, bookmaker availability, and wagering results are uncertain and outside our control.

Nothing in these Terms excludes, restricts, or modifies any consumer guarantee, right, or remedy that cannot lawfully be excluded, restricted, or modified, including under the Australian Consumer Law.

17. Changes to the service and these Terms

We may update, modify, suspend, or discontinue free features and other parts of the service as the product develops. We may also correct, update, or add to published analytics content.

We will not intentionally archive a purchased round before the minimum 35-day period in section 6 merely because the round has ended, becomes free, or a future price changes. Before that period ends, access may be removed following a full refund or payment reversal, account deletion requested by you, fraud or purchase-system abuse, a material breach of these Terms, a genuine security need, or where removal is required or permitted by law. After the minimum period, the round may be archived or removed for all users.

We do not promise that the service will operate forever or without interruption. If a discontinuation, outage, or service failure materially affects purchased access, any non-excludable consumer right or remedy remains unaffected.

We may amend these Terms. Material changes may require renewed acceptance before you use account-gated parts of the service. A later change does not by itself retrospectively reduce the minimum availability promised for a completed Round Pass purchase.

17A. Location and governing law

Matchup Engine is operated from Australia. To the extent permitted by law, these Terms are governed by the laws of Queensland, Australia, and you submit to the non-exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of Queensland and any court competent to hear appeals from them.

If you access the service from outside Australia, you are responsible for complying with the laws that apply to you, including any law that restricts access to wagering-related information. Nothing in this section limits any consumer right that applies to you under the law of the place where you live and that cannot lawfully be excluded.
