# Terms and Conditions

Last updated: 31 August 2026

# Definitions

The API service is provided by The Odds API Pty Ltd, an Australian registered company, ACN: 627461947 (“The Odds API”, “We” or “Us”).

Users (or “You”) are defined as any person who has registered to use the API service.

"Service" is defined as the API service and its associated market data.

# Market Data & Transparency

The Odds API is an independent provider of sports market data. We are not a wagering operator, we do not accept bets, and we are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any of the bookmakers or wagering brands listed in our Service.

All market data provided via the Service is aggregated from publicly accessible sources available to the general public on the public internet, as well as from third-party interfaces or data feeds where access has been granted via express permission. For the avoidance of doubt, the Service does not circumvent authentication controls to retrieve this data.
All third-party brand names and trademarks remain the property of their respective owners. Their use within our Service is solely for identification, descriptive reference, and factual comparison of markets, and not in a manner that suggests sponsorship, endorsement, or commercial association.

# Liability

We take care to ensure the accuracy and timeliness of our market data. However, wagering markets are highly volatile; on occasion, errors or additional delays may be present.

No Warranty: The Service is provided "as is" and "as available," without warranties of any kind, whether express or implied, including but not limited to warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, or non-infringement.
No Professional Advice: The Service provides general information only and does not constitute financial or wagering advice.
Verification: It is your responsibility to independently verify the accuracy of the data with the respective wagering operator before acting on it.
Exclusion of Liability: To the maximum extent permitted by law, we will not be held liable for losses resulting from actions made based on the data provided in our API, whether that data is correct, erroneous, or outdated.
Third-Party Products: We assume no responsibility for any products or applications created by users of the Service.

# Force Majeure

We will not be liable for any failure or delay in performance of the Service resulting from circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to the unavailability, outage, or error of upstream data sources (such as bookmakers or wagering operators), internet or hosting infrastructure failures, natural disasters, or other events outside our control.

# Restrictions

Do not resell, repackage, or redistribute our data as a standalone data product. This includes, but is not limited to, offering our data through your own API, data feed, downloadable files, or any other format intended to serve as a source of raw data for others.

We support and encourage the use of our data in websites, mobile apps, dashboards, analytical tools, and other user-facing applications, including commercial use, provided our data is not the primary product being sold or redistributed.

Permitted uses include, but are not limited to:

Storing our data and retaining it indefinitely
Displaying our data in a UI, website, or mobile app, including for commercial use
Using our data in research papers and analytical dashboards
Calculating and displaying values you derive from our data
Using our data to train statistical and machine learning models

We mainly prohibit reselling the data as a raw data feed, i.e. a competing product. In other words, don't resell our data as your own API or data source.

Attribution to The Odds API is not required, but is always appreciated.

If we reasonably suspect a violation of these terms, including the resale or redistribution of our data as a data service, we reserve the right to revoke your API key and block future access.

If you are unsure whether your use case is permitted, please contact us.

# API Key Responsibility

Once registered for the API service, you will receive an API key via email or in the accounts dashboard. It is your responsibility to keep your API key private. Failure to do so will make it vulnerable to quota depletion by unauthorized users. If you suspect your key has been breached, you can generate a new one in the accounts dashboard (opens new window).

# Cancellations & Refunds

You may cancel your access to the API service at any time. Payments are non-refundable and your subscription will remain active until the end of the current billing cycle.

If you forget to cancel and are charged for a new billing cycle, please contact us at team@the-odds-api.com.

Refund requests will be considered on a case-by-case basis and are granted at our discretion, subject to applicable law. For more details, see our refund policy.

# Appropriate Usage and Abuse

If we suspect abuse or malicious intent, or if we receive a valid legal order regarding a user's specific use of the data, we reserve the right to terminate API access at any time without warning.

# Responsible Gambling

If the Service is used to promote bookmakers or gambling services, users are encouraged to display appropriate responsible gambling messaging (e.g., "Gamble Responsibly. 18+") on their customer-facing platforms. It is the user's sole responsibility to ensure that their use of the data complies with the specific responsible gambling regulations and advertising standards of their local jurisdiction.

# Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms and Conditions from time to time. Changes take effect once posted on this page, or on the date specified in the update. Where changes are material, we will make reasonable efforts to notify registered users via email. Your continued use of the Service after changes take effect constitutes acceptance of the revised terms.

# Governing Law and Jurisdiction

These Terms and Conditions are governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of New South Wales, Australia. You irrevocably submit to the exclusive jurisdiction of the courts of New South Wales and the Federal Court of Australia, and any courts entitled to hear appeals from those courts, for the resolution of any disputes concerning these Terms or the Service.

# Add-on Privacy

When using the Sports Odds add-on for Google Sheets or Microsoft Excel, no personal information is collected. We may collect anonymous usage information for the purposes of product improvement.
