Risk Disclosure

Effective Date: 28 March 2026 | Version: 1.0

This Risk Disclosure statement is designed to help you understand the nature of PredictX and the risks associated with prediction gaming. Please read it carefully before using the Platform.

1. Nature of the Platform

PredictX is a skill-based prediction game using virtual tokens with no monetary value. It is NOT gambling, sports betting, a trading platform, or a financial service. All tokens are virtual and represent a limited license to participate in Platform features.

Virtual tokens have zero monetary value. They cannot be purchased, sold, exchanged, redeemed, or converted to cash, cryptocurrency, or anything of value. Token balances are not assets, deposits, or property.

2. No Guarantee of Outcomes

Prediction gaming involves inherent uncertainty. Even skilled users with deep cricket knowledge will experience losses. Past performance on the Platform is not indicative of future results.

Correct predictions depend on real-world events that are inherently unpredictable
Cricket outcomes can be influenced by weather, injuries, umpiring decisions, and other uncontrollable factors
Token pools distribute rewards proportionally — high accuracy does not guarantee high returns if many users predict correctly

3. Skill vs. Chance

While PredictX involves elements of skill (cricket knowledge, statistical analysis, pattern recognition), individual prediction outcomes contain elements of chance due to the inherent unpredictability of live events. Skill advantages manifest over large numbers of predictions, not individual markets.

4. Parimutuel Pool Risks

PredictX operates a parimutuel pool model with specific dynamics you should understand:

Returns depend on the total pool size and distribution of predictions — returns are variable, not fixed
A 5% platform fee is deducted from each pool before distribution
Large one-sided pools result in minimal returns for the majority
Low-liquidity markets may have amplified return volatility

5. Platform and Technical Risks

Service Interruption: The Platform may be unavailable due to maintenance, outages, or technical issues
Data Feed Delays: Live cricket data may experience delays affecting market resolution
Market Voiding: PredictX may void a market due to data ambiguity, source conflicts, or match abandonment, resulting in proportional token refunds
Account Actions: Violation of Terms may result in account suspension and token forfeiture

6. AI-Generated Content

PredictX may use AI and machine learning to generate market suggestions and insights. These are for informational and entertainment purposes only. AI predictions:

Are NOT financial, investment, or professional advice
May contain errors, biases, or inaccuracies
Should not be the sole basis for prediction decisions
Do not guarantee any particular outcome

7. Regulatory and Legal Risks

The legal status of prediction gaming varies by jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for determining whether your use of PredictX complies with your local laws. Changes in law or regulation may affect Platform availability or features in your region.

8. Behavioral Risks

Even without real money at stake, prediction games can become habitual. Warning signs include:

Spending excessive time on the Platform
Feeling compelled to "recover" lost tokens
Neglecting responsibilities or relationships due to gaming
Feeling anxious when unable to access the Platform

If you experience any of these, please use our self-exclusion tools or contact responsibleplay@thepredictx.com.

9. Future Platform Changes

PredictX may introduce real-money features, cryptocurrency integration, or other monetization in the future. Such features would be subject to additional regulatory approvals, updated terms, and separate risk disclosures. This Risk Disclosure applies only to the current virtual-token Platform.

10. Your Acknowledgment

By using PredictX, you acknowledge that you have read and understood this Risk Disclosure and that you participate in prediction gaming voluntarily, with full awareness of the risks described above.
