Terms of Service
Acceptance of These Terms
By accessing or using the site, you agree to be bound by these Terms of Service and all applicable laws. If you do not agree, you may not use the site. We may update these Terms from time to time, and your continued use of the site after changes take effect means you accept the revised Terms.
Informational Purpose Only
The site publishes sports and sports betting information, including odds, previews, predictions, statistics, and related editorial content. All content is provided for informational and entertainment purposes only. We are not a gambling operator, sportsbook, or betting service, and we do not accept, place, or facilitate wagers. Odds, lines, and predictions are opinions and estimates that can change and may contain errors. Nothing on the site is a guarantee of any outcome or a recommendation to place any wager.
Eligibility and Age Requirements
You must be at least 18 years old to use the site. Where the site’s content relates to activities that require a higher minimum age in your jurisdiction, such as sports wagering, which requires a minimum age of 21 in many U.S. states, you represent that you meet the applicable minimum age where you live. You are responsible for knowing and complying with the laws that apply to you. Sports betting and gambling laws vary by jurisdiction, and it is your responsibility to ensure that any activity you engage in is legal where you are located.
No Guarantees and Assumption of Risk
Betting involves risk, and you can lose money. We do not guarantee the accuracy, completeness, or profitability of any information, prediction, or pick on the site. Any decision you make based on our content is your own, and you assume all risk for those decisions. If you choose to wager, you do so at your own risk and with third parties over which we have no control.
If you or someone you know may have a gambling problem, help is available. In the United States, you can call or text 1-800-GAMBLER for confidential support. Please play responsibly.
Accounts
Some features may require you to register for an account. You agree to provide accurate information and to keep it current. You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your login credentials and for all activity that occurs under your account. Notify us promptly if you believe your account has been used without your authorization. We may suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms.
User Content and Community Conduct
The site may allow you to post content, including in forums or community features. You retain ownership of the content you submit, but you grant us a non-exclusive, royalty-free, worldwide license to use, display, reproduce, and distribute that content in connection with operating and promoting the site. You are solely responsible for the content you post, and you represent that you have the right to post it and that it does not violate the rights of others or any law.
Acceptable Use
You agree not to use the site to post unlawful, harmful, harassing, defamatory, or infringing content; to impersonate others; to distribute spam or malware; to attempt to gain unauthorized access to the site or its systems; to scrape, harvest, or copy content at scale without our permission; or to interfere with the normal operation of the site. We may remove content and restrict access at our discretion to enforce these rules.
Intellectual Property
The site and its content, including text, graphics, logos, and data, are owned by us or our licensors and are protected by intellectual property laws. We grant you a limited, personal, non-commercial license to access and view the content. You may not reproduce, republish, distribute, or create derivative works from our content without our prior written permission, except as allowed by law.
Third-Party Links and Advertising
The site contains advertising and links to third-party websites and services that we do not operate or control. We are not responsible for the content, products, services, or practices of those third parties, and a link or advertisement is not an endorsement. Your dealings with third parties are solely between you and them.
Disclaimers
The site and all content are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, accuracy, and non-infringement. We do not warrant that the site will be uninterrupted, error-free, or secure, or that any information will be accurate or reliable.
Limitation of Liability
To the fullest extent permitted by law, we will not be liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, data, or goodwill, arising out of or relating to your use of, or inability to use, the site or its content, even if we have been advised of the possibility of such damages. To the extent liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the greatest extent permitted by law.
Indemnification
You agree to indemnify and hold us harmless from any claims, damages, losses, liabilities, and expenses, including reasonable legal fees, arising out of your use of the site, your content, or your violation of these Terms or any law or the rights of a third party.
Changes to the Site and These Terms
We may modify, suspend, or discontinue any part of the site at any time without notice. We may also revise these Terms from time to time. The “Last Updated” date at the top reflects the most recent changes, and your continued use of the site means you accept the revised Terms.
Termination
We may suspend or terminate your access to the site at any time, with or without notice, for any reason, including if we believe you have violated these Terms. Provisions that by their nature should survive termination will continue to apply.
Governing Law
These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Michigan, without regard to its conflict of laws principles. You agree that any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the site will be brought exclusively in the state or federal courts located in Michigan, and you consent to their jurisdiction.

Privacy Policy
Who We Are
TheSpread.com publishes sports and sports betting information, including odds, previews, predictions, and related editorial content. Our content is intended for adults of legal age in their jurisdiction. Our site is informational and is not a gambling operator.
Information We Collect
When you register for an account, participate in our community or forum features, complete a contact form, or subscribe to our newsletter, you may provide information such as your name, username, email address, and any content you choose to submit. If we offer products or services for purchase in the future, we may also collect the billing and payment information necessary to process those transactions.
When you visit our site, we and our service providers automatically collect certain information about your device and how you use the site. This may include your IP address, browser type, device identifiers, pages viewed, links clicked, referring pages, and the dates and times of your visits. We collect this information using cookies and similar technologies, as described in our Cookie Policy.
How We Use Information
We use the information we collect to operate, maintain, and improve our site; to provide account, community, and newsletter features; to respond to your inquiries; to understand how our content is used and measure performance; to display and support advertising; to protect the security and integrity of our site; and to comply with our legal obligations. Where we offer paid products or services in the future, we will also use information to process and fulfill your transactions.
How We Share Information
We do not sell your personal information for money. We share information with third-party service providers who help us operate the site, including hosting, security, analytics, email delivery, and advertising. We share it with advertising partners and their demand partners to display advertising, which may include interest-based or personalized advertising. We may disclose information when required by law, to respond to legal process, or to protect the rights, safety, and property of our users, the public, or us. And if we are involved in a merger, acquisition, or sale of assets, information may be transferred as part of that transaction.
Some of this sharing, particularly the use of advertising cookies for interest-based advertising, may be considered a “sale” or “sharing” of personal information under certain U.S. state privacy laws. You can opt out as described below.
Advertising and Your Choices
We work with advertising partners to display ads on our site. These partners may use cookies and similar technologies to measure ad performance, limit how often you see the same ad, and, where permitted, show you more relevant advertising. You can control advertising cookies through the cookie preferences tool on our site, accessible from the “Cookie Settings” link, and through your browser settings. You can also use industry opt-out tools offered by the Digital Advertising Alliance and the Network Advertising Initiative.
Your U.S. Privacy Rights
Depending on where you live, U.S. state privacy laws may give you certain rights regarding your personal information. These may include the right to know about and access the personal information we hold about you, the right to request deletion of your personal information, the right to correct inaccurate information, and the right to opt out of the “sale” or “sharing” of your personal information for targeted advertising. You also have the right not to be discriminated against for exercising these rights.
To opt out of the use of advertising cookies, use the cookie preferences tool on our site and decline advertising cookies. We also honor the Global Privacy Control (GPC) signal. If your browser or a browser extension sends a GPC signal, we will treat it as a request to opt out of the sale or sharing of personal information for that browser. To exercise any other privacy right, or to ask a question, contact us at [email protected]. We may need to verify your identity before acting on your request.
Data Retention
We retain personal information for as long as necessary to provide our site and features, to fulfill the purposes described in this policy, to comply with our legal obligations, resolve disputes, and enforce our agreements. When information is no longer needed, we take reasonable steps to delete or anonymize it.
Security
We use reasonable technical and organizational measures to protect the information we collect. However, no method of transmission over the internet or method of electronic storage is completely secure, so we cannot guarantee absolute security.
Children’s Privacy
Our site is intended for adults and is not directed to individuals under 18 years of age. We do not knowingly collect personal information from children under 13. If you believe a child has provided us with personal information, please contact us and we will take appropriate steps to delete it.
Third-Party Links
Our site may contain links to third-party websites and services that we do not operate or control. This policy does not apply to those sites, and we are not responsible for their content or privacy practices. We encourage you to review the privacy policies of any third-party sites you visit.
Changes to This Privacy Policy
We may update this Privacy Policy from time to time to reflect changes in our practices or for other operational, legal, or regulatory reasons. When we make changes, we will revise the “Last Updated” date at the top of this page. We encourage you to review this policy periodically.
