Last updated: May 2026 · Version 2.0 · NostraGamus Limited
1. About us
These Terms and Conditions ("Terms") govern your use of the websites, web applications, and services operated by NostraGamus Limited, a company registered in England and Wales (Companies House registration number: 17217978) whose registered office is at 71-75 Shelton Street, Covent Garden, London, WC2H 9JQ ("we", "us", "our").
Our services are currently offered under the brand The Match Predictor at thematchpredictor.com ("the Service"). These Terms apply to all products and services operated by NostraGamus Limited, including any future services launched under different brand names.
There are two types of users covered by these Terms:
- End users — individuals who register to participate in prediction leagues
- Business customers — organisations such as pubs, bars, clubs, or companies ("Business Customers") that register to create and administer prediction leagues for their customers, staff, or members
Where a provision applies only to one type of user, this is stated explicitly. All other provisions apply to both.
If you have any questions, please contact us at hello@thematchpredictor.com.
2. Acceptance of terms
By registering for an account, accessing, or using the Service, you agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree, you must not use the Service.
End users must be at least 18 years old to use the Service. By registering, you confirm you meet this requirement.
Business Customers confirm that the individual accepting these Terms has authority to bind the organisation to these Terms.
3. The service
3.1 What we provide
The Match Predictor is an online sports prediction platform. Users can create or join prediction leagues, submit predictions for match scores and outcomes, and compete against other participants. League administrators can send communications to league members via the Service.
3.2 Free tier
Any user may create one prediction league and invite up to 5 additional participants (i.e. 6 members in total, including the league administrator) at no charge.
3.3 Paid tiers — league upgrades
League administrators may upgrade their league by making a one-time payment. The following upgrade options are available:
- Standard tier — £12: Increases the league capacity to the administrator plus up to 10 additional participants (11 members in total).
- Unlimited tier — £20: Removes the participant cap entirely, allowing an unlimited number of participants to join the league.
These are one-time payments per league for the duration of the relevant tournament or competition. Prices are as displayed on our pricing page at thematchpredictor.com/pricing at the time of purchase.
Payment is made by the league administrator. Once a league upgrade has been purchased and the paid features accessed, the payment is non-refundable except as set out in clause 6.
3.4 Business Customer plans
Business Customers may access additional features including the ability to create and administer leagues for their customers, staff, or members, access to league management tools, and the ability to send communications to league members including standings updates and promotional content. Business Customer pricing and feature availability are set out on our pricing page or as agreed in writing between the Business Customer and NostraGamus Limited.
3.5 No gambling
The Service is a prediction game for entertainment purposes only. It does not constitute gambling, betting, or gaming as defined under the Gambling Act 2005 or any equivalent legislation. No cash prizes are offered by NostraGamus Limited. League administrators or participants may choose to organise their own prize arrangements independently, but NostraGamus Limited is not responsible for and has no involvement in any such arrangements.
3.6 Availability
We aim to keep the Service available at all times but do not guarantee uninterrupted access. We may suspend or restrict access for maintenance, technical issues, or other operational reasons. We will endeavour to give advance notice where possible.
4. Account registration
4.1 Registration
To use the Service you must register for an account using a valid email address. You are responsible for keeping your login credentials secure and for all activity that occurs under your account.
4.2 Business Customer registration

By registering as a Business Customer you confirm that you have the authority to bind your organisation to these Terms and that you will use the Service only for lawful purposes in connection with your business.
4.3 Accuracy
You agree to provide accurate and up-to-date information when registering and to update your details if they change.
4.4 Termination
We reserve the right to suspend or terminate any account if you breach these Terms, engage in fraudulent activity, or use the Service in a manner that we consider harmful to other users or to us.
5. Business Customer obligations
