Terms of Use
Effective Date: 12 May 2026 | Version 1.2 | doublepik.com/terms
1. Introduction and Acceptance
Welcome to DoublePik. These Terms of Use (‘Terms’) form a legally binding agreement between you and Ruba Odeh (trading as DoublePik) (‘DoublePik’, ‘we’, ‘us’, ‘our’), an individual based in the United Arab Emirates, governing your use of the DoublePik mobile application (iOS and Android), web application, and all related services (collectively, the ‘Service’).
By creating an account, downloading the app, or using any part of the Service, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree to these Terms you must not use DoublePik.
These Terms apply alongside our Privacy Policy (available at doublepik.com/privacy), which explains how we handle your personal data. These Terms and the Privacy Policy are the primary legal documents governing your use of DoublePik. In-app rules and scoring details (available under How to Play) supplement these Terms but do not form part of this legal agreement.
We may update these Terms from time to time. We will notify you of material changes through the app or by email. Continued use of the Service after notification constitutes acceptance of the updated Terms.
2. DoublePik is Not Gambling
✅ DoublePik is a skill-based sports prediction game. It is not gambling.
Predicting football match scores requires knowledge, judgement, and skill. Your performance on DoublePik depends on your football knowledge and analytical ability — not on chance or luck alone.
DoublePik does not offer:
- •Cash prizes or monetary rewards of any kind
- •The ability to convert tokens, points, or rankings into real money
- •Wagering of real money on match outcomes
- •Any form of financial return on your predictions or purchases
Tokens purchased within the app are virtual currency used solely to access cosmetic features and Premium functionality. They have no monetary value and cannot be exchanged for cash or any real-world asset under any circumstances.
3. Eligibility and Minimum Age
You must be at least 13 years old to create a DoublePik account. Users in certain countries are subject to a higher minimum age for digital services — please refer to our Privacy Policy Section 7 for the full country-by-country breakdown. If a higher minimum age applies in your country, you must meet that requirement.
By creating an account you confirm that you meet the minimum age requirement applicable in your country.
Users under 16 must obtain parental or guardian consent before making any in-app purchases. We recommend that parents and guardians of users under 16 review these Terms and the Privacy Policy.
If we discover that a user does not meet the minimum age requirement, we will suspend and delete the account immediately, including all associated data, predictions, tokens, and purchased items. No refunds will be provided in these circumstances.
4. Account Registration
To use DoublePik you must create an account. When registering you agree to:
- •Provide accurate, current, and complete information including a valid email address that belongs to you
- •Choose a username that is not offensive, misleading, or impersonating another person
- •Keep your password confidential and not share it with anyone
- •Notify us immediately at [email protected] if you become aware of any unauthorised access to your account
- •Register only one account — multiple accounts for the same person are not permitted
- •Not allow any other person to use your account
You are responsible for all activity that occurs on your account. DoublePik is not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to keep your account credentials secure.
You may create an account using your email address and password, Google account, or Apple ID.

6. Prediction and Scoring Rules
DoublePik’s scoring system is designed to reward accurate, skill-based predictions. The following rules govern how predictions and scores work.
6.1 Prediction Deadlines
Predictions must be submitted before the official kick-off time of each match. Predictions lock automatically at kick-off. We are not responsible for any technical issues that prevent you from submitting a prediction before the deadline. We recommend submitting predictions well in advance of kick-off.
6.2 Scoring System
Points are awarded based on the accuracy of your predicted score compared to the official final result:
| Outcome | Condition | Base Points |
|---|---|---|
| ACE | Correct result AND both scores exactly right | 8 pts |
| STRIKE | Correct result (win/draw/loss) — scores not exact | 4 pts |
| HIT | One score exactly correct — awarded independently OR stacked on top of STRIKE or BUST (see stacking rules below) | 2 pts |
| BUST | Incorrect result and no exact scores | 0 pts |
HIT stacking rules — HIT adds 2 pts on top of your primary outcome:
| Combination | Condition | Total Points |
|---|---|---|
| STRIKE + HIT | Correct result AND one score exactly right | 6 pts |
| BUST + HIT | Incorrect result AND one score exactly right | 2 pts |
| ACE | ACE already includes both scores correct — HIT does not stack with ACE | 8 pts |
Stage multipliers apply to base points depending on the tournament stage. The stage multiplier is applied to your base points first, then the DoublePik selection doubles the result. Full scoring details and DoublePik allocation per stage are available within the app under How to Play.
6.3 Official Results
Points are calculated using official final results including any extra time played as part of the match. Penalty shootouts do not affect the score used for prediction purposes — the score at the end of normal time and extra time is the result used. We use data from official football data providers and are not responsible for errors in data supplied by third parties.
6.4 Postponed, Cancelled, or Abandoned Matches
If a match is postponed before kick-off, your prediction will unlock and become editable again until the new kick-off time. The original prediction is not deleted — you may keep it or update it. If a match is cancelled or abandoned before completion and no official result is recorded, no points will be awarded for that match and all predictions for that match will be voided. DoublePik selections used on voided matches will be returned to your allowance.
6.5 Scoring Disputes
If you believe your score has been calculated incorrectly, you must contact us at [email protected] within 7 days of the result being published. We will review the calculation and respond within 14 days. Our decision on scoring disputes is final. We are not liable for any loss arising from a scoring error where that error was caused by incorrect data from a third-party data provider.
6.6 Tournament Picks
Tournament Picks (predicting Winner, Runner-up, and Third Place) must be submitted before the tournament’s first match. Tournament Picks lock permanently at the start of the tournament and cannot be changed. Points are awarded only for exact placement — a team predicted as Winner will not earn Runner-up points if they finish in second place.
7. Pools — Creation, Management, and Rules
7.1 Creating and Joining Pools
You may create and join pools subject to the limits applicable to your account type (Free or Premium). Pool limits are displayed within the app and may change over time. Pools are tied to specific tournaments — a pool created for one tournament does not carry over to another.
7.2 Pool Admin Responsibilities
If you create a pool, you become the pool admin. As pool admin you are responsible for:
- •Managing join requests and membership of your pool
- •Ensuring that members of your pool are aware of and comply with these Terms
- •Reporting any inappropriate content posted in your pool's chat to DoublePik — pool admins are not personally liable for content posted by other members but are responsible for flagging violations
DoublePik is not responsible for the actions of pool admins or pool members. We reserve the right to remove any pool that violates these Terms without notice.
7.3 Pool Chat
Pool chat is a feature that allows pool members to communicate within their pool. Pool chat messages are moderated by the DoublePik moderation team. Users can report inappropriate messages directly within the app. By using pool chat you agree that:
- •All messages must comply with the content rules in Section 5.3 and Section 13
- •We may review, remove, or act on any pool chat message that violates these Terms
- •Pool chat messages are retained for 12 months after the pool's tournament closes and then permanently deleted
- •You will not use pool chat for commercial purposes, spam, or to share personal information about others
7.4 Pool Leaderboards and Competitive Integrity
Pool leaderboards are generated automatically based on prediction scores. DoublePik does not manually adjust pool standings except to correct verified scoring errors. If you suspect another pool member of cheating or violating these Terms, please report it to us at [email protected].
8. The Lounge and Showdown
The Lounge is a live match feature that lets you see DoublePik activity during live matches and engage in 1v1 Showdown interactions with other users in your pools.
8.1 Showdown
The Showdown feature allows two users to view each other’s live prediction performance during a match and interact using emoji reactions. By participating in a Showdown you agree that:
- •Your predicted score and DoublePik status for the match are visible to your Showdown opponent, and theirs are visible to you
- •Emoji reactions are sent in real time and are visible only to the two users involved in the Showdown
- •Your Showdown session view closes automatically 15 minutes after the match ends
- •You will use the Showdown feature respectfully and in accordance with the conduct rules in Section 5.3
8.2 Live Match Data
Live match scores displayed in the Lounge are sourced from third-party data providers and may be subject to a short delay. We are not responsible for inaccuracies in live data. Provisional points shown during live matches are estimates and may differ from the final points awarded after official results are confirmed.
9. Virtual Currency — Tokens
Tokens are virtual currency used within DoublePik. They have no monetary value.
Tokens cannot be exchanged for cash, transferred to another user, or redeemed for any real-world value under any circumstances.
9.1 Earning and Purchasing Tokens
Tokens can be obtained by:
- •Purchasing token bundles through the in-app Shop via Apple or Google (not available in the current version — tokens are earned through daily login rewards only in this release)
- •Daily login rewards (free — streak system applies)
9.2 Using Tokens
Tokens are used to purchase cosmetic items (profile icons, borders, backgrounds, stickers) and Premium access within the app. Once spent, tokens are deducted from your balance immediately and cannot be recovered unless the purchase fails due to a technical error on our part.
9.3 Token Balance on Account Deletion
If you delete your account, your remaining token balance is forfeited permanently. No refund will be given for unused tokens remaining at the time of account deletion. This applies regardless of whether the tokens were purchased or earned for free.
9.4 Token Expiry
Tokens do not have an expiry date while your account is active. However, DoublePik reserves the right to expire tokens that have been inactive for an extended period (more than 24 months) with reasonable prior notice to the affected users.
10. In-App Purchases and Refunds
10.1 How Purchases Work
All in-app purchases — including token bundles and Premium access — are processed by Apple App Store or Google Play. Real-money in-app purchases are not available in the current version of DoublePik. This section describes our practices for when IAP is introduced in a future version. By making a purchase you agree to their respective terms of service in addition to these Terms. DoublePik does not collect, store, or process your payment card details.
10.2 Pricing
Prices for in-app purchases are displayed within the app in your local currency and are inclusive of any applicable taxes. We reserve the right to change prices at any time. Price changes will not affect purchases already completed. Premium is priced per tournament — buying Premium for one tournament does not apply to another tournament.
10.3 Refund Policy
All purchases made through DoublePik are generally final and non-refundable. This is because:
- •Token bundles — tokens are virtual currency with no monetary value. Once purchased and added to your wallet they are considered consumed.
- •Cosmetic items — digital items are delivered immediately upon purchase and cannot be returned.
- •Premium — access begins immediately upon purchase.
Refund requests must be made directly to Apple App Store or Google Play in accordance with their refund policies. We do not have the ability to issue refunds for purchases made through these platforms. If you believe you have been charged in error due to a technical fault on our part, contact us at [email protected] and we will investigate.
10.4 Chargebacks
If you initiate an unjustified chargeback or payment dispute with your bank or card provider in relation to a DoublePik purchase, we reserve the right to suspend or permanently terminate your account pending investigation. An unjustified chargeback is one where you have received the purchased item or access and the payment was authorised by you.
11. Premium
DoublePik Premium is a paid upgrade available on a per-tournament basis. Premium provides access to additional features including prediction statistics and other benefits as described within the app at the time of purchase.
11.1 What Premium Includes
The features included in Premium are described in the app at the time of purchase. We may add, modify, or remove Premium features at any time. If we remove a feature that was material to your purchase and you have not yet used the majority of the tournament, you may contact us to request a refund of the unused portion.
11.2 No Competitive Advantage Guarantee
Premium provides access to additional information and cosmetic features. It does not guarantee a better leaderboard position or any competitive advantage. Points are awarded solely on the accuracy of predictions regardless of whether a user is Premium or not.
11.3 Premium Availability
We reserve the right to discontinue or modify Premium at any time. If we discontinue Premium entirely we will provide reasonable notice and issue a pro-rata refund for any active Premium period remaining.
12. User Content and Licence
When you submit content to DoublePik — including your username, status chant, pool name, pool chat messages, or any other content — you grant DoublePik a worldwide, non-exclusive, royalty-free licence to use, reproduce, store, adapt, and display that content for the purpose of operating and improving the Service.
This licence does not give DoublePik ownership of your content. You retain ownership of any content you create. However, you acknowledge that:
- •Prediction data — your submitted predictions, scores, and outcomes — form part of DoublePik's competitive record and may be displayed to other users, retained in anonymised form after account deletion, and used to calculate leaderboards and pool standings
- •Pool chat messages are visible to all members of your pool and are subject to moderation
- •Your username, favourite team, and profile cosmetics are visible to all users of DoublePik
You warrant that any content you submit does not infringe any third party’s rights and complies with Section 13 of these Terms.
13. Content Rules and Moderation
All content you submit to DoublePik — including usernames, status chants, pool names, and chat messages — must comply with the following rules. Content must not:
- •Be abusive, threatening, harassing, discriminatory, or hateful toward any individual or group
- •Be sexually explicit, pornographic, or otherwise inappropriate for a general audience
- •Contain personal information about another person without their consent
- •Infringe any copyright, trademark, or other intellectual property right
- •Constitute spam or unsolicited commercial communications
- •Be false, misleading, or deceptive
- •Promote or facilitate illegal activity
- •Impersonate any person, brand, or organisation
13.1 Automated Moderation
DoublePik moderates content through a user-reporting system and a moderation team who review flagged content. If your content is removed and you believe this was in error, contact us at [email protected].
13.2 Reporting Content
If you encounter content on DoublePik that violates these Terms, please report it to us at [email protected]. We take all reports seriously and will review them as quickly as possible.
13.3 Our Rights Regarding Content
We reserve the right to remove, edit, or restrict any content at any time without notice if we determine it violates these Terms or is otherwise harmful to the Service or its users.
14. Intellectual Property
All intellectual property rights in the DoublePik app, website, software, design, graphics, scoring system, brand name, logo, and all other materials forming part of the Service are owned by or licensed to DoublePik. Nothing in these Terms grants you any right to use DoublePik’s intellectual property except as necessary to use the Service in accordance with these Terms.

- •Copy, reproduce, modify, or distribute any part of the Service without our written consent

15. Account Suspension and Termination
15.1 Termination by You
You may delete your account at any time from Settings → Delete Account within the app. Account deletion is immediate and permanent — there is no grace period or cancellation window. Once confirmed, your personal identifiers are deleted immediately and your competitive records are anonymised as described in our Privacy Policy. Unused tokens are forfeited on deletion.
15.2 Suspension or Termination by DoublePik
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate your account at any time if:
- •You breach any provision of these Terms
- •We reasonably suspect fraudulent, abusive, or illegal activity on your account
- •You are found to have manipulated predictions or the competitive system
- •You are abusive toward other users or DoublePik staff
- •Required to do so by applicable law or a regulatory authority
For minor first violations we will typically issue a warning before taking further action. For serious violations — including cheating, abuse, or fraud — we may terminate your account immediately without warning. On termination your access to the Service ends immediately. Purchased tokens, token bundles, cosmetic items, and Premium access are all forfeited without refund in cases of termination for breach of these Terms.
15.3 Effect of Termination
On termination of your account your predictions and competitive records will be anonymised and attributed to ‘Deleted User’ to preserve the integrity of tournaments and pools. All other personal data will be deleted in accordance with our Privacy Policy.
16. Liability Limitations
