1. Introductory Provisions

1.1 Subject Matter and Scope

These General Terms and Conditions (“T&Cs” or “GTC”) govern the rights and obligations between WinningEdge Limited (hereinafter “WinningEdge”, “Provider”, “we” or “us”) and you (“Customer”, “you”) in connection with the use of the services we provide (“Services”). The Services are predominantly offered via the website winningedge.io (hereinafter “Website”), but may also be provided through other channels.

1.2 Conclusion of Contract

• By registering on our website, creating a user account, or using the Services for the first time (unless separate registration is required), you accept these T&Cs.
• These T&Cs apply equally to consumers and businesses unless explicitly stated otherwise or required by law.

1.3 Age Requirement and Geographic Restrictions

• Our Services are exclusively aimed at persons who are at least 18 years old. By registering, you confirm that you are at least 18 years old.
• You also represent that you reside in a country where the Services are legally permitted.

1.4 Exclusion of Certain Users

We reserve the right to deny access to users or to restrict or block existing access if:

• they are nationals of a country listed in our Restricted List,
• a violation of applicable law or official regulations has occurred,
• international sanctions are in effect,
• a relevant criminal record exists (e.g. financial crimes or terrorism).

1.5 Simulation Environment (Not Gambling)

The Services we offer include, in particular, simulated sports betting or prop-betting, analysis and training tools, statistical evaluations as well as a demo trading area (“Demo Bets”). None of your stakes involve real money; only virtual amounts are used. A gain or loss always refers to this virtual balance, unless explicitly stated otherwise.

1.5.1 Training Purpose and No Management of Customer Funds

The Services we offer are exclusively for training, educational, and simulation purposes. All fees incurred – including any challenge fees – are solely charged as payment for access to training materials, coaching sessions, statistical evaluations, and other training resources. There is no management, receipt, or use of third-party funds in the context of real betting or gambling operations.

1.6 No Betting or Gambling Advice

• Our Services do not constitute gambling or licensed bookmaker services.
• We do not provide individual betting or investment recommendations.
• Statements by employees that you might interpret as recommendations are not to be regarded as binding advice, and liability for them is expressly excluded.

1.7 Data Protection

The processing of your personal data is carried out in accordance with our Privacy Policy. Please read it carefully; you can find it on our website here.

1.8 Language of the Contract

The contract language is English. Other language versions are provided for your information only.

1.9 Right of Withdrawal for Consumers

If you are a consumer (as defined by the consumer law applicable in your country), a 14-day right of withdrawal applies in accordance with section 14.3. However, please note that this right of withdrawal may lapse prematurely once you actively begin using our paid Service (e.g. placing the first demo bet) and have given us your prior consent to an early commencement of performance.

2. Services and Their Sequence

2.1 Description of Service

• Our Services include analytical tools, training and educational materials (e.g. video tutorials, webinars), access to customer support, and possibly other accompanying services.
• e enable the placement of demo bets in a simulated environment, which is intended solely for learning, practice, and strategy testing. These Services are typically provided in the form of applications (web apps or third-party tools).

2.2 Free Trial and Paid Variants

• We may offer a time-limited free trial (“Free Trial”) that grants you restricted access to certain features.
• The Free Trial is solely intended for familiarizing yourself with the platform and obtaining an initial overview of the effect of a new strategy. A free trial period can never be converted into a paid challenge. Only one trial account may be active in parallel at any time.

2.3 Prerequisites and Information

• All information you provide (name, e-mail, payment details, etc.) must be complete, correct, and up-to-date.
• If you are a business (e.g. you provide a VAT ID), consumer protection regulations may not apply or may apply only to a limited extent.

2.4 Responsibility for Technical Equipment

You are solely responsible for having the necessary hardware (computer, smartphone, etc.) and software (operating system, browser, etc.) to use our Services.

2.5 No Legal Claim

We reserve the right to reject orders or revoke registrations if there is an objective reason (e.g. doubts about identity, violation of section 1.4).

2.6 Changes to Services, Parameters, and Conditions

We reserve the right to change functionality, parameter configuration (e.g. requirements for a challenge), or service content insofar as this is reasonable for you. If such changes require an adjustment of the T&Cs, the procedure in section 16.1 shall apply.

3. Payment Conditions

3.1 Fees and Charges

• The fees (“Fee”) for paid offerings (WinningEdge Challenge, upgrades, etc.) are displayed in Euros or a specified foreign currency. In the case of payment in a foreign currency, you bear conversion costs.
• The fee amount depends on factors such as chosen virtual starting capital, risk parameters, and other options.

3.2 Due Date and Payment Methods

• Payment is due immediately unless we explicitly grant a different payment term.
• Permitted payment methods: credit card, SEPA transfer, PayPal, Stripe, or other methods indicated on the website.

3.3 No Claim for Refund

• If a Challenge is terminated early or requirements are not met, there is no claim to a (proportional) refund unless statutory consumer protection rules intervene or the blocking is not attributable to our fault.
• If you initiate unjustified chargebacks, your access may be blocked (see sections 5.4 and 10.1).

3.4 Taxes

• All prices include any applicable taxes (e.g. VAT), unless stated otherwise.
• Businesses are responsible for the correct taxation of their revenues.

3.5 Training and Challenge Fees

Participation fees are payments for training, coaching, and evaluation services. They do not constitute a stake in the context of betting activities and are not a “buy-in”. Payments cover the cost of educational materials, evaluations, and additional resources.

4. Customer Area and Trading Platform

4.1 Customer Account

• Upon successful registration, you receive access to the customer area where you can manage Services and, if applicable, use the simulated trading/betting platform.
• Only you personally (or authorized employees, in the case of legal entities) may access the account.

4.2 Access Data

• Your login data (username, password) must be kept confidential.
• You are liable for all activities in your account.

4.3 Technical Availability

• We strive for smooth operation but cannot guarantee uninterrupted availability (maintenance, updates, force majeure, etc.).
• No claims for damages or refunds exist in the event of unforeseen disruptions, unless legally mandated.

4.4 Use of External Platforms / Third Parties

• If we provide login data for a third-party platform (e.g. demo trading software or payment provider), that third party’s T&Cs additionally apply.
• We are not liable for the functions, outages, or data-protection issues of such external services.

4.5 Limitation of Demo Capital

The combined balance of all active demo funds per participant must not exceed EUR 100 000 (or equivalent in another currency). If this limit is reached or exceeded, we may decline additional challenges or adjust or close existing demo balances. No claim exists for extending this limit.

5. Rules for Demo Trading

5.1 General Use

• You may place virtual bets (“Demo Bets”) on sports events or other markets.
• You are responsible for using serious, market-standard strategies and adhering to risk-management guidelines.

5.2 No Real Stakes

All stakes in our demo environment are fictitious. A “win” does not entitle you to real money unless converted into compensation under the Analyst Program (section 7).

5.3 Prohibited Practices

The following actions are prohibited:

• Exploiting pricing or odds errors (“Pricing Errors”) or delays,
• Using external or delayed data feeds to gain unfair advantages,
• Collusive or coordinated actions between multiple accounts,
• High-frequency or automated bets via software, bots, or AI aimed at manipulation,
• Any method harming us or third parties or violating their terms of use.

5.4 Consequences of Violations

• We may block suspicious transactions, close accounts, and cancel virtual gains if abuse appears plausible.
• Massive or repeated violations may lead to a permanent block and legal action (see sections 11 and 13).

5.5 Risk Disclosure

• Sports and financial markets are volatile; virtual losses can occur. Success in the demo world does not guarantee future real-world profits.
• We assume no liability for real bets placed with third parties, even when using our analyses or tools.

6. WinningEdge Challenges and Verification

6.1 Activation and Duration

• After paying the fee, you receive demo-platform access. The Challenge begins with your first demo bet.
• If you do not start within 30 days of receiving access data, your access will be blocked. You may request reactivation within six months; otherwise, the claim expires without refund.

6.2 Challenge Requirements

To pass the Challenge, you must meet all of the following simultaneously:

• Minimum number of demo bets,
• Daily loss limit not exceeded (e.g. 10 % of starting capital),
• Overall loss limit not exceeded (e.g. 15 % of starting capital),
• Minimum profit achieved (e.g. 20 % of starting capital).

6.3 Verification after Successful Challenge

• Passing the Challenge grants free access to the Verification phase.
• Verification must start within 30 days of activation; otherwise, a block occurs (similar to the Challenge).

6.4 Verification Requirements

The same conditions as in section 6.2 apply unless stated otherwise.

6.5 Failure of the Challenge / Verification

• If any condition is violated, the respective stage is considered failed.
• No claim exists for a repeat or refund unless otherwise agreed.

6.6 Challenge Change

A subsequent change (e.g. different starting capital) is not possible; a new challenge must be booked.

6.7 Discretionary Reservation

Even after successful Verification, there is no automatic legal claim to admission into the Analyst Program.

6.8 Training and Challenge Conditions

• Simulated Environment: Challenges use virtual capital only.
• Purpose of Participation Fee: The fee covers training resources, statistics, and coaching, not real betting stakes.
• Failure Procedure: If you fail a challenge, a new participation and fee apply.
• Training Access After Failure: Even if a challenge fails, you retain access to training resources, statistics, and coaching offers to improve your skills.

7. WinningEdge Analyst and Reward

7.1 Admission to the Analyst Program

After completing the Challenge and Verification, you may be offered admission to the “WinningEdge Analyst Program”, subject to mutual agreement and contractual arrangements.

7.2 Reward Model

• If you achieve a virtual profit (“Profit”) within the Analyst Program, a percentage (e.g. 70 % or 80 %) may be paid to you as real compensation (“Reward”).
• Exact rates and conditions (billing cycles, minimum payout, etc.) are detailed in separate guidelines or your customer area.

7.3 Legal Nature

• The Analyst Program does not create an employment relationship; you act independently.
• You are responsible for your own tax obligations.

7.4 Invoicing and Payout

• A Reward is paid only upon proper invoicing and compliance with requirements.
• Any manipulation or prohibited practice voids the compensation claim retroactively.

7.5 No Guarantee

Virtual profit is not guaranteed; past performance is no indication of future success.

7.6 Quality-Based Compensation of the Analyses

• No Link to Real Betting Stakes: Compensation is based on analysis quality, not real-world wins or losses.
• Exclusive Company Financing: Payouts come from company funds, not customer funds.
• No Gambling Component: No third-party funds are received or managed as betting media.

7.7 Exclusion for Breach of Loss Limits

Violating loss limits immediately excludes the respective account from the Analyst Program without refund. Multiple accounts are treated independently; a violation in one does not affect others, but all claims for future Rewards for the affected account are forfeited.

8. Use and Processing of Your Demo Data

8.1 Data Access
