Terms of Service
1. Who operates SlateKings
Digital North Ventures, operating as SlateKings1870 Evans Blvd, London, Ontario, N6M 0N5, Canada
[email protected]
These Terms govern the SlateKings website, sponsor inquiries, and, when launched, its free sports-prediction game. “We,” “us,” and “SlateKings” mean the identified operator. You accept these Terms through an affirmative acceptance control when submitting a sponsor inquiry or creating an account. A visit alone is not represented as acceptance of every contractual term.
The launch email list is separate. Joining it requests one launch invitation and an optional verification email; it does not require accepting these Terms, create a player account, reserve a prize, or enter a competition. The Privacy Policy and the consent shown on the form cover it, and you may unsubscribe at any time.
2. Eligibility and location
The proposed service is for residents of Canada and the United States, including Canadian provinces and territories and U.S. states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories. To submit personal information, create an account, play, or claim prizes, you must be at least 18 and have reached the age of majority where you reside, whichever is higher. This is our participation policy, not a statement that one age or rule makes every activity lawful everywhere.
Access to the website does not establish eligibility for a particular game or prize. Local restrictions and the published rules of each offer apply. Features may be unavailable where prohibited or not legally approved. Do not misrepresent your age, residence, or location, use another person’s details, or bypass geographic restrictions.
3. Free play, points, and balances
No purchase, deposit, paid subscription, sponsor purchase, or payment to a sportsbook is required to play or become eligible for a prize. Points cannot be purchased, sold, transferred between accounts, or cashed out. Sports odds are used to score virtual-point predictions, not to accept cash wagers. Points are not a bank account, deposit, investment, or promise of a fixed cash value.
When the game launches, new players start with 1,000 free points. Eligible players may receive a weekly top-up of up to 250 points, capped at a total balance of 1,000. Available points and stakes committed to unsettled picks both count toward that limit. A total balance of 900 receives at most 100; a balance of 1,000 or more receives nothing. One top-up is available per Monday–Sunday week in America/Toronto time; it does not accumulate when unused. There is no recurring monthly grant or daily bailout.
Balances carry forward; they are not reset at the end of a month. Monthly leaderboards measure net point profit from settled picks, separately from grants and redemptions. Points may be spent on specifically listed sponsor rewards only after the redemption program opens and subject to the Prize & Redemption Rules. Merely holding points does not guarantee a prize, a particular conversion rate, or perpetual prize availability.
4. Picks, scoring, and corrections
Rules shown for a game identify its markets, odds, stake limits, lock time, scoring, settlement, and tie-breakers. Picks are final at the stated lock time. Odds and sports feeds can be delayed or incorrect. We may pause settlement, void a cancelled or postponed game and return its stake, or correct and resettle an erroneous result. Corrections must be supported by the game rules and records, and affected players will be notified.
Crown picks and wallet picks are separate. Check your selections before submitting. Report a disputed result promptly through Contact; we will investigate the relevant records. The practice slate on the landing page creates no account, points, or prize entitlement.
5. Fair use and account security
Use one account per person. Do not impersonate others, automate play without permission, manipulate results, exploit errors, coordinate abusive multi-account activity, interfere with the service, harass users, or use private pools to collect entry fees or run unauthorized wagering. Keep sign-in links private. Notify us if someone accesses your account without permission.
We may investigate suspected abuse, temporarily restrict affected features, and reverse demonstrably invalid transactions. Where practicable and lawful, we will explain material action and offer a way to request review. We will not use this clause to arbitrarily confiscate legitimate balances or avoid a valid prize obligation.
6. Prizes and third parties
Country, state/province, residency, currency, shipping, issuer, age, inventory, and other eligibility conditions are displayed for each offer before entry or redemption. A Canadian prize need not be usable in the United States, and a U.S. prize need not be usable in Canada. The Prize & Redemption Rules form part of these Terms.
League, team, and brand marks belong to their owners. Team logos identify teams in example matchups and do not indicate sponsorship, endorsement, or partnership. External websites have their own terms and privacy practices.
7. Sponsor inquiries
A sponsor pledge is a non-binding proposal, not a payment, accepted sponsorship contract, or guarantee of exposure. An authorized representative must agree separately to prize value and currency, eligible regions, funding or delivery, timing, permitted brand use, and cancellation terms before a promotion is announced. Sponsor funding cannot buy a player an advantage. Provide only content and marks you have authority to submit.
8. Content and communications
You retain ownership of content you submit and give us a non-exclusive permission to host and display it only as needed to operate the feature you use. Do not submit unlawful material or another person’s private information without authority. Optional publicity beyond ordinary display of your chosen player name requires separate permission where appropriate. We do not require you to endorse a sponsor to receive an otherwise valid prize.
The Privacy Policy explains data handling. Joining the launch email list is separate from accepting these Terms. Sponsorship inquiries do not subscribe you to marketing. You may withdraw email consent without losing an otherwise valid prize or accrued points.
9. Changes, suspension, and closure
We may make reasonable prospective changes to features and publish updated Terms with a revision date. Material changes receive appropriate advance notice and renewed acceptance where required. We will not retroactively alter a completed redemption or earned prize contrary to its published rules or applicable law. If the service closes, we will provide reasonable notice where possible and explain the treatment of pending picks, redemptions, and valid prize obligations.
10. Availability and responsibility
To the extent permitted by law, the service is provided as available without a guarantee of uninterrupted operation, error-free sports data, or a particular outcome. We are not responsible for losses caused solely by events beyond our reasonable control or your misuse. Nothing excludes liability that cannot lawfully be excluded, including applicable obligations relating to fraud, wilful misconduct, gross negligence, privacy, consumer rights, or delivery of validly awarded prizes.
We do not promise that participation will produce income. No clause here requires you to waive a mandatory legal remedy, accept a blanket release, or indemnify us for our own wrongdoing.
11. Disputes and applicable law
Ontario law and applicable Canadian federal law govern these Terms to the extent permitted. Mandatory protections of your home jurisdiction remain in force. Ontario courts have non-exclusive jurisdiction; this does not prevent you from using a court, regulator, small-claims process, or other remedy you are entitled to use where you live. There is no mandatory arbitration or class-action waiver in these Terms.
Contact us first if you wish so we can try to resolve an issue, but doing so is not a condition of exercising a statutory right. If a provision is unenforceable, the remaining lawful provisions continue. Rules for a specific offer govern that offer where more specific, without overriding mandatory law.
