Terms of Service
Effective: 9 October 2026 (beta)
These terms govern your use of Starline: the websites at starlineodds.com and beta.starlineodds.com and the tools on them, including the +EV Board, Arbitrage, Middles, Sharp Money and My bets (the "Service"). In these terms, "Starline", "we" and "us" mean the team that runs the Service. By creating an account, setting your password or using the Service, you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, don't use the Service.
1. The Service
1.1 What Starline is. Starline compares betting odds from bookmakers and other sources and estimates fair prices, to help you find bets that may have positive expected value. Starline is not a bookmaker. It doesn't take bets, hold money or settle wagers, and it isn't affiliated with any bookmaker.
1.2 Beta. The Service is in an invitation-only beta. Features may change, pause or stop, and we may limit or end the beta at any time.
2. Fees and subscriptions
2.1 Free during the beta. The beta is free. We won't charge you unless you choose a paid plan.
2.2 Paid plans. If we introduce paid plans, we'll show the price, billing period and what's included before you pay. Plans renew automatically until you cancel, and you authorise us to charge your payment method at each renewal. Payments are processed by our payment provider, whose terms also apply.
2.3 Cancelling. You can cancel at any time from your account or by contacting us. Cancelling takes effect at the end of the billing period you've paid for, and you keep access until then.
2.4 Refunds. Fees already paid aren't refunded for unused time or a change of mind. This doesn't limit any refund or other remedy you're entitled to under the Australian Consumer Law, for example if the Service has a major failure.
2.5 Changing plans. Upgrades take effect straight away and you pay the difference for the rest of the billing period. Downgrades take effect at your next renewal.
2.6 Price changes. We may change our prices. We'll email you at least 14 days before a new price applies to you, and you can cancel before then.
2.7 One account per person. Each person may hold one account. Opening extra accounts, for example to get more free trials or avoid fees, isn't allowed, and a payment card may be used on only one account.
3. Your account
3.1 Age. You must be 18 or over, and of legal age to bet where you live. We may suspend or close an account if we believe its holder is under 18.
3.2 Keeping it secure. Keep your password private, use two-step sign-in if you can, and tell us straight away, through the feedback form in Starline (Help → Questions, bugs and feedback, or Send feedback at the bottom of any page) or the person who invited you, if you think someone else has used your account. You're responsible for what happens under your account. Don't share your account or pass on your invitation link.
3.3 Local laws. You're responsible for making sure that using the Service, and betting with any bookmaker shown on it, is legal where you are.
4. Ownership and licence
4.1 Ownership. We own the Service, including its software, models, databases, design and content. Bookmaker names and marks belong to their owners and are shown only to identify where a price comes from.
4.2 Your licence. While your account is active, we give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to use the Service for your own, non-commercial betting.
4.3 What you must not do. You must not copy, sell, share or republish Starline's data or content; scrape the Service or access it with bots or other automated tools; reverse engineer it; get around its security, sign-in or usage limits; or use it unlawfully. During the beta, please also keep Starline's prices, flags and screenshots private.
5. Odds data
5.1 Where prices come from. Prices are collected from bookmakers' public websites, public prediction markets and third-party odds feeds. We don't control these sources.
5.2 Accuracy. We work to keep the data accurate and up to date, but we don't guarantee it. Prices change without notice and can be delayed, incomplete, matched to the wrong event, or gone by the time you see them.
5.3 Availability. Each bookmaker is collected separately. When a bookmaker changes its website, its prices may be missing until we update our collector. We'll try to restore it quickly but can't promise when, and we don't guarantee the Service will always be available.
5.4 Check before you bet. Always confirm the price, market and rules with the bookmaker before you bet. The bookmaker's own rules decide how your bet is settled. Results and profit figures shown on Starline are estimates.
6. No advice and no guarantee
6.1 Information only. Starline provides information, not financial, investment, legal or betting advice, and it isn't a tipster. Fair prices, edges and recommended stakes come from a model; they aren't a recommendation to bet. Get professional advice if you need it.
6.2 No guarantee of profit. Positive expected value, arbitrage and middles are mathematical strategies, not a promise of profit. Bets with positive expected value often lose, losing runs happen, past results don't predict future ones, and bookmakers may limit or close your accounts.
6.3 Your decisions. Every bet is your decision and your responsibility.
7. Responsible gambling
Only bet what you can afford to lose, and take a break if it stops being fun. In Australia, free and confidential help is available from Gambling Help Online on 1800 858 858 (gamblinghelponline.org.au), and you can exclude yourself from every Australian online bookmaker with BetStop. In the UK, call the National Gambling Helpline on 0808 8020 133 (gamcare.org.uk) or use GAMSTOP. If you ask us to close your account for this reason, we will.
8. Other websites
The Service links to bookmakers and other websites we don't control. We aren't responsible for their content, prices, availability or how they treat you, and a link isn't an endorsement. Their own terms apply.
9. Privacy
Our Privacy Policy explains how we handle your personal information.
10. Suspending and closing accounts
10.1 By you. You can stop using the Service at any time and ask us to delete your account.
10.2 By us. We may suspend or close your account if you breach these terms, if we believe you're under 18, to protect the Service or other users, or when the beta ends. If we close a paid account for a reason other than your breach, we'll refund fees paid for the unused part of your billing period.
11. Our liability
11.1 Consumer law. Nothing in these terms excludes, restricts or modifies any right, remedy or guarantee you have under the Australian Consumer Law or any other law that can't lawfully be excluded or limited.
11.2 Limits. To the extent the law allows, the Service is provided "as is" and "as available"; we aren't liable for any loss from relying on the Service or its data, including betting losses, lost profits, or indirect or consequential loss; and where our liability for failing to meet a consumer guarantee can be limited, it's limited to supplying the Service again or paying the cost of having it supplied again.
12. Indemnity
You agree to cover any loss, cost or claim we incur because you breach these terms or misuse the Service, except to the extent it's caused by our own negligence or breach.
13. Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. We'll post the new version here with a new effective date and, for significant changes, tell you by email or on the site before they take effect. If you keep using the Service after a change takes effect, you accept the new terms.
14. General
These terms are governed by the laws of the Australian Capital Territory, Australia, and you and we submit to the courts of that territory. If any part of these terms is invalid, the rest still applies. If we don't enforce a term straight away, we can still enforce it later.
15. Contact
During the beta, contact us through the feedback form in Starline (Help → Questions, bugs and feedback, or Send feedback at the bottom of any page), or through the person who invited you. We'll add our business details and a contact email here before any paid plans start.
