Acceptable Use Policy

This policy applies to every person who uses SharpRoster and to every description, post, pick, analysis, link, image, message, storefront, plan, or other content submitted to or distributed through SharpRoster. It is part of our Terms of Service.

Content may be held, removed, demonetized, or kept out of search while we review it. A creator cannot publish or sell content by bypassing a moderation decision.

You must not submit, publish, sell, link to, or promote:

• Adult content or services — including pornography, nudity or explicit sexual acts, sexual services, adult live chat, or content primarily offered for sexual gratification.
• Intellectual-property infringement — including content that infringes copyright, trademarks, patents, trade secrets, privacy, publicity, or other proprietary rights; leaked, pirated, stolen, or unauthorized content; or links that facilitate infringement.
• Violent extremism or hate — content that engages in, encourages, promotes, recruits for, or celebrates unlawful violence or hatred against any person or group based on race, religion, disability, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, or another protected or immutable characteristic.
• Wagering or payment facilitation — accepting bets, placing bets for another person, transmitting wagering funds, offering an entry fee for a prize, or presenting SharpRoster as a sportsbook or gambling operator.
• Deceptive sports-content claims — guaranteed wins, risk-free results, guaranteed profit, false earnings claims, fabricated testimonials, selective records presented as complete, or claims that a purchase will make someone profitable.
• Doxxing or unlawful personal-data disclosure — publishing private addresses, financial-account details, government identifiers, or other sensitive personal information without lawful authority and consent.
• Any content or conduct that violates applicable law, sanctions, card-network rules, or the payment-provider requirements.

Creators are responsible for every piece of content submitted through their account.

• Only submit content they have the right and authority to publish.
• Describe sports analysis as information, not a guaranteed outcome or investment.
• Keep records, sample sizes, source labels, and material conflicts accurate.
• Do not erase losses or present a partial record as a complete record.
• Respond promptly when SharpRoster asks for rights, identity, or source information.

A paid card is licensed to the account that bought it, for that person’s own use. Picks are sold before the games start, which is exactly when redistributing them destroys what the capper sold.

• Do not republish, forward, resell, or post the selections on a paid card while they are still unsettled.
• Every paid card carries a short code unique to the buying account. We say this plainly rather than tracking quietly: if a screenshot appears publicly, that code identifies which account it was issued to.
• The code reveals nothing about you to anyone who sees it — not a name, an email, or a stake. Only SharpRoster can map it back, and only from its own systems.
• A match tells us which account a copy was issued to. It is not treated as proof that a particular person posted it; a shared login produces the same code, and we will ask before acting.

Creator submissions pass through automated pre-publication screening for policy signals. High-confidence signals are blocked. Uncertain signals are held for human review. Content is not eligible for monetization while it is pending, held, rejected, removed, or demonetized.

• Automated pre-publication scanning for adult content, violent extremism, wagering facilitation, deceptive earnings claims, copyright risk, and privacy or doxxing risk.
• High-confidence signals are blocked; uncertain signals are held for human review.
• Every scan and enforcement decision is recorded with the content, action, reason, and timestamp.
• Held, rejected, removed, or demonetized content cannot be published through the creator API.
• User and rights-holder reports create a private review queue and can trigger removal or repeat-violation enforcement.

Automated screening can miss context and can be wrong. A human moderator may request more information, correct a false positive, or take action based on a report or other evidence.

Anyone can report potentially violating content without an account using the SharpRoster reporting form. Rights holders may identify themselves and explain their rights or provide supporting information. Reports are stored in a private review queue and are not publicly visible.

When a report is received, we may:

• hold the content and disable monetization while we investigate;
• request information from the creator or reporting party;
• remove or restrict the content and issue refunds or credits where appropriate;
• record an enforcement action against the responsible account; or
• dismiss the report when it is unsupported, abusive, or outside this policy.

Do not knowingly submit false or abusive reports. We may restrict reporting access or take account action when the reporting system is misused.

We use a rolling enforcement record. A first lower-level violation may result in a warning and removal of the offending content. A repeated violation may result in a formal strike, demonetization, or temporary suspension. Continued or serious violations may result in permanent termination and removal of associated content.

Enforcement considers severity, intent, harm, cooperation, prior history, and whether the creator tried to evade an earlier action. A creator may request a review of an enforcement decision with relevant facts or evidence; an appeal does not restore monetization while the original decision is under review.

We may update this policy when the service, law, payment requirements, or enforcement practices change. The current version is always available at this URL. Questions, rights-holder notices, and corrections should begin through the reporting and takedown form.
