Service

Effective: February 2, 2025

1. Introduction

Welcome to FantasyFunds! These Terms of Service ("Terms") govern your access to and use of the FantasyFunds platform, including our website, mobile application, and related services (collectively, the "Service"). By creating an account or using FantasyFunds, you agree to comply with these Terms and our Privacy Policy.

FantasyFunds is a simulated investing platform where users create leagues, manage virtual stock portfolios, and compete based on market performance. The Service is for entertainment and educational purposes only and does not provide real financial transactions, investment opportunities, or financial advice.

If you do not agree with these Terms, you may not use the Service. We reserve the right to update these Terms at any time, and continued use of the platform constitutes acceptance of any modifications.

2. Eligibility

To use FantasyFunds, you must meet the following eligibility requirements:

  • Minimum Age Requirement – You must be at least 13 years old to create an account and use the Service. If you are under 18, you may only use FantasyFunds with the consent and supervision of a parent or legal guardian.
  • Legal Compliance – You may only use FantasyFunds if it is legal to do so in your jurisdiction. It is your responsibility to ensure that participation in simulated investing competitions complies with local laws and regulations.
  • Account Registration – You must provide accurate and complete information when creating an account. Any attempt to register with false information, impersonate others, or create multiple accounts without authorization is strictly prohibited.
  • Restricted Users – We reserve the right to deny access to the Service for any reason, including but not limited to users previously banned for violations of these Terms or suspected fraudulent activity.

3. User Accounts

  1. Account Creation – To access certain features of FantasyFunds, you must create an account. You agree to provide accurate, current, and complete information during registration and to update it as needed.
  2. Account Security – You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials. Any activity under your account is your responsibility, and you must notify us immediately if you suspect unauthorized access.
  3. Multiple Accounts – Users may create multiple accounts, but they may not be used to manipulate rankings, exploit gameplay mechanics, or engage in deceptive behavior. Any abuse may result in account suspension.
  4. Impersonation and Misuse – You may not create accounts that impersonate another person, misrepresent your identity, or falsely associate with an entity. Any such violations may lead to account suspension or termination.
  5. Account Suspension and Termination – We reserve the right to suspend or terminate accounts that violate these Terms, engage in fraudulent behavior, or compromise the integrity of the platform.

4. FantasyFunds Gameplay

  1. League-Based Structure – FantasyFunds operates as a private league-based platform where users create and manage their own leagues. Each league is independently run by its League Manager, who has control over league settings, participants, and rules.
  2. League Manager Authority – League Managers have the ability to set entry requirements, adjust scoring methods, remove participants, and enforce league-specific rules. FantasyFunds does not interfere with individual league decisions unless they violate platform-wide policies.
  3. Stock Data and Market Simulations – Stock prices and market data are sourced from third-party providers. While FantasyFunds strives for accuracy, we do not guarantee real-time or flawless data, and market conditions may not perfectly reflect real-world events.
  4. Fair Play and League Integrity – Each league may establish its own competitive rules, but general fair play principles apply. Users may not exploit platform vulnerabilities, use automation tools (such as bots), or manipulate gameplay mechanics to gain an unfair advantage.
  5. Multiple Accounts and League Participation – Users may join multiple leagues and manage different accounts within them. However, using multiple accounts to manipulate rankings within a single league is prohibited and subject to action by the respective League Manager.
  6. FantasyFunds' Role – FantasyFunds provides the platform and technical infrastructure for league operations but does not directly manage or regulate individual leagues beyond enforcing platform-wide policies.
  7. No Real Money or Financial Transactions – FantasyFunds is a simulated investing platform for entertainment and educational purposes only. No real money is involved in trading, and participation does not equate to actual financial investments.

5. Prohibited Conduct

  1. Fraud and Misrepresentation – You may not provide false information, impersonate others, or engage in deceptive behavior when creating accounts or participating in leagues.
  2. Exploitation and Manipulation – Users may not exploit bugs, loopholes, or technical flaws to gain an unfair advantage. Any discovered issues should be reported to FantasyFunds.
  3. Automation and Unauthorized Tools – The use of bots, scripts, or any form of automation to interact with FantasyFunds, manipulate rankings, or influence outcomes is not allowed.
  4. Harassment and Abuse – You may not engage in harassment, threats, hate speech, or abusive behavior toward other users, League Managers, or FantasyFunds staff.
  5. Spamming and Unauthorized Promotions – You may not use the platform for unsolicited promotions, advertising, or distributing spam within leagues or through messaging features.
  6. League Disruptions – While League Managers control their own leagues, intentionally disrupting leagues through coordinated manipulation, account flooding, or other forms of interference is prohibited.
  7. Unauthorized Access – Attempting to gain unauthorized access to accounts, data, or platform functionality through hacking, credential theft, or similar means is strictly forbidden.
