Terms & Conditions for the free BettingExpert tipster competition

To avoid abuse and misuse of the soccer betting competition held by BettingExpert, all tipsters must comply with the following terms for behaviour by free tipsters:

• As a free tipster you are required to post a minimum of 8 picks/month to be eligible for any prize offered.
• If you are inactive more than two months in a row, your profile will be deactivated.
• You are only allowed to post picks exclusively for BettingExpert. Tipsters posting the same picks and analyses on other betting sites will be disqualified in the competition.
• To receive any winnings as a trial tipster, you must have an account with the sponsoring bookmaker of the competition - Betfair. This account should be opened using the special BettingExpert link, otherwise you’ll forfeit the right to any winnings. You have to type in your Betfair username on the tipsters upload site.
• When you have been promoted to a "1st-division" tipster you must open a real money account in 888 Sport through a link found on BettingExpert AND make a first deposit. This will enable you to receive a piece of the monthly €600 prize pool sponsored by 888 Sport.
• As a free tipster you are required to submit your soccer picks at www.bethelp.com. It is described in the tipster Info & Rules menu how to do it.
• Any cheating or attempt of cheating will disqualify the free tipster and result in a lifetime ban at BettingExpert. Fake odds count as cheating!
• We expect all tipsters to use polite language in analyses and comments in forum or chats. This however doesn’t mean people aren’t allowed to post criticism towards BettingExpert or other tipsters. We also encourage our tipsters to participate in debates and discussions relating to any sports-, betting- or BettingExpert-relevant topic.
• To avoid having a winner of the competition, who just had a lucky punch, these rules determine the amount you are allowed stake on a pick with a certain odds:

  Odds ≤ 2,5:	max. stake of 10 units
  2,5 < Odds ≤ 3:	max. stake of 8 units
  3 < Odds ≤ 5:	max. stake of 6 units
  5 < Odds ≤ 10:	max. stake of 3 units
  10 < Odds:	max. stake of 2 units

  This way, we hope the winning tipsters will be those, who are capable of showing consistent profit instead of one being lucky with 10 units on a pick with odds 12.
• The max stake per game is 10 units. So for example posting a 8/10 on a home victory and on the same game 6/10 on over 2.5 goals is not allowed.
• Maximum stake of 10/10 units is reserved for picks with exceptional good information and tipsters posting too many 10/10 units will not be accepted. A rule of thumb should be that not more than 1 out of 10 picks should be with 10/10.
• Betting on correct score is unserious and not profitable in the long run. Picks with correct score (Example: Arsenal – Tottenham. Prediction: 3-1) are not accepted.
• Tipsters have to upload their analysis right away and picks without arguments will be deleted. Postings like “I will upload analysis later” are not accepted.
