Acceptable Use Policy
What you can and can't do with the OddsRelay feed: use the data for anything except supplying odds to other businesses. Never share keys outside your team or reverse-engineer our sources.
Contents
This Acceptable Use Policy ("AUP") forms part of the OddsRelay Terms of Service. Capitalised terms have the meaning given there. It applies to everyone who uses the Service under your Account: you, your team members, your staff, your contractors, and anything acting on your API Keys. You are responsible for all use under your Account and keys.
The simple version
You may use the Data for anything lawful except supplying odds data to other businesses. You may not share your keys outside your team, or try to work out or expose how we get the data.
You may:
- Use the Feed in your own product, app, tool, bot, or model
- Display the Data on your own website and public pages, and show it to your users
- Store, transform, compute on, and alert on the Data
- Upgrade your plan for more tokens
- Ask us if you're unsure whether something is allowed
You must not:
- Resell, sublicense, syndicate, or mirror the Feed, or supply the Data to other businesses as data, unless an Enterprise Order allows it
- Share, sell, pool, or proxy API Keys, or let others call the API through your keys, other than your Account's members, staff and contractors acting for you (your own product fetching data for your users is fine)
- Reverse-engineer our sources or methods, or bypass limits or controls
- Use extra accounts to get round a plan's limits
- Use the Feed for unlicensed gambling or any unlawful purpose
Permitted use
You may:
- use the Feed in your own product (app, website, dashboard, tool, bot, model, or workflow), for yourself and your End Users;
- display, transform, and compute on the Data (for example, matched opportunities, comparison tables, calculators, and alerts), including on public pages;
- store the Data, and derive values and models from it; and
- show your End Users outputs derived from the Data.
The dividing line is simple: use the Data yourself and in your product, and don't become another business's odds supplier.
Prohibited use
3.1 No competing supply (the core rule)
Unless an Enterprise Order allows it, you must not:
- resell, sublicense, syndicate, mirror, or broker the Feed;
- supply the Data to other businesses as data, including via your own API, feed, export, webhook, or bulk download; or
- use the Data to build a competing odds feed or data product for other businesses.
You must also not share, sell, pool, or proxy API Keys, or let another person or business call the API through your keys, other than your Account's members, staff and contractors acting for you. Your own product fetching Data to show your End Users is fine.
3.2 No reverse-engineering or probing our sources and methods
You must not attempt to discover, reconstruct, reverse-engineer, or publish our:
- data sources (which bookmakers or exchanges, or how they're accessed);
- collection methods; or
- matching or processing logic.
These are confidential trade secrets, and you must not represent that you have access to them.
3.3 No abuse of the Service
You must not:
- exceed your rate or usage limits;
- use extra accounts to get round a plan's limits;
- scrape or bulk-extract outside the documented API;
- circumvent authentication, rate limiting, token counting, or other technical controls;
- act in a way that threatens the security, stability, or integrity of the Service or other clients; or
- remove or alter notices or controls.
3.4 No unlawful use
You must not use the Feed to:
- operate, or help anyone operate, an unlicensed or unregulated gambling business in any jurisdiction where a licence is required;
- breach any gambling, advertising, consumer-protection, age-verification (18+), anti-money-laundering, sanctions, or data-protection law that applies to you or your End Users;
- provide services to minors or to persons in prohibited or sanctioned jurisdictions; or
- carry out official-data-dependent bet settlement without holding the necessary rights.
Limits and fair use
Your token allowance and rate limits are set by your Plan or Order. They exist to keep the Service fast and fair for everyone. If you need more tokens, that's a plan upgrade; a higher rate limit, or more than the largest plan's tokens, is an Enterprise Order, not a workaround. Persistent or deliberate breach of limits may lead to throttling or suspension.
Data accuracy: not advice
The Data is provided "as is" and may be incomplete, delayed, or wrong. It is data, not betting, financial, or legal advice, and is not a recommendation to place any bet. No profit, arbitrage, or matched-betting outcome is guaranteed. You must not present OddsRelay data to your End Users as advice from OddsRelay or as a guarantee of profit. (See clause 12 of the Terms.)
Monitoring and enforcement
We may monitor usage (for example, request logs and usage rollups) to check compliance with this AUP and your limits. Where we find a breach, we may throttle, suspend, or terminate access under the Terms. Serious breaches, including resale, reverse-engineering, and unlawful use, are material breaches, may be acted on immediately and without refund (except where the law requires one), and may trigger the indemnity in the Terms.
Changes
We may update this AUP from time to time, with at least 30 days' notice by email, as clause 22 of the Terms describes. Continued use after the changes take effect means you accept them.
