Terms of Service & Disclaimer

These Terms of Service (the "Terms") govern your access to and use of tickertcg.com and every feature, page, stream, card, game mode, and communication channel offered through it (together, the "Platform"). By visiting, registering for, or using the Platform you agree to these Terms in full. If you do not agree, you must stop using the Platform immediately.

TickerTCG is strictly for adults. You must be at least 18 years old, or the age of majority where you live if that is higher, to register, access, or use the Platform. Anyone under 18 is prohibited from creating or holding an account. By registering — including through Google or any other sign-in provider — you confirm that you meet this requirement. You are responsible for all activity under your account and for keeping your credentials secure.

TickerTCG is an independent social entertainment and technology platform. TickerTCG is not a licensed, registered, chartered, or regulated financial entity of any kind, and is not a broker-dealer, investment adviser, commodity trading adviser, futures commission merchant, financial planner, fund manager, bank, money transmitter, payment institution, exchange, alternative trading system, custodian, insurer, credit provider, gambling operator, or lottery.

TickerTCG holds no licence, registration, authorisation, membership, or approval from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, FINRA, the CFTC, the NFA, any state securities or gaming regulator, or any equivalent authority in any other country, and makes no claim to any such status. Nothing on the Platform should be interpreted as a representation that TickerTCG is supervised, audited, bonded, insured, or otherwise accountable to any regulator.

TickerTCG does not execute, route, clear, settle, custody, or facilitate any transaction in securities, derivatives, commodities, or currencies, does not hold or manage your money or assets, and does not provide brokerage, custody, tax, accounting, insurance, or legal services.

TickerTCG owes you no fiduciary duty, duty of care, duty of loyalty, suitability obligation, best-execution obligation, professional duty, or other legal obligation of any kind in respect of your financial, trading, or personal decisions, except those obligations that cannot lawfully be excluded.

All content on the Platform is provided for informational, educational, and entertainment purposes only. Nothing on the Platform — including live streams, chat, trader commentary, community ideas, cashtags, sentiment meters, earnings calls and votes, daily challenges, duels, leaderboards, badges, points, trading cards, AI-generated summaries or "TickerTCG+" features, news reels, screeners, or third-party quotes and charts — constitutes financial, investment, legal, tax, or accounting advice, or an offer, solicitation, endorsement, rating, or recommendation to buy, sell, short, or hold any security or other financial instrument.

Market data, quotes, charts, fundamentals, news, and calendars are sourced from third parties and may be delayed, incomplete, out of date, mispriced, or simply wrong. TickerTCG does not warrant the accuracy, timeliness, or completeness of any data and is not responsible for third-party outages or errors.

You should consult a properly licensed financial professional before making any investment decision. You are solely responsible for your own research, due diligence, position sizing, and outcomes.

Trading and investing involve substantial risk, including the total loss of invested capital, and are not suitable for everyone. Leveraged, margined, options, derivative, and crypto strategies can produce losses exceeding your original investment. Past performance of any user, creator, streamer, card, or market call is not indicative of future results.

You knowingly and voluntarily assume all risks arising from your use of the Platform and from any decision you make that is informed, influenced, or inspired by content found here.

The Platform includes gamified social features, including collectible reputation trading cards, card finishes and foils, serial numbers, graded slabs and grades, card stats, abilities and archetypes, levels, streaks, badges, awards, trophies, mystery crates, starter packs, quests, card duels and wagers, daily challenges, and virtual points (together, the "Game Features").

Game Features are fictional entertainment mechanics. They are not securities, commodities, investment contracts, shares, tokens, coins, NFTs, stored value, e-money, vouchers, prizes, or wagers of real money or anything of value. They have no cash value, no redemption value, and no resale value; they are not your property, and they are not transferable outside the Platform.

Points and duel wagers are scorekeeping devices only. No purchase is required to play, no real money is ever staked, and no cash, cryptocurrency, security, or other consideration can ever be won or redeemed. Nothing on the Platform constitutes gambling, betting, gaming for money, a contest of chance for prizes, or a sweepstake.

TickerTCG grants you a limited, revocable, non-exclusive, non-transferable licence to view and use Game Features on the Platform for personal, non-commercial entertainment only. TickerTCG may at any time and without notice, liability, or compensation: create, alter, rebalance, regrade, devalue, expire, reset, revoke, or remove any card, grade, serial run, stat, badge, point balance, duel result, or leaderboard standing; adjust scoring rules retroactively; correct errors; or discontinue any Game Feature entirely.

Card statistics — including accuracy, win rate, streaks, call counts, and reputation scores — are unaudited internal game metrics computed from user-submitted activity. They are not verified, attested, audited, or regulated performance records, are not GIPS-compliant, and must not be presented to anyone, or relied upon by anyone, as a professional or real-money trading track record.

The Platform offers virtual booster packs, a free Official TickerTCG Set Starter Pack, and other pack drops opened through on-screen rip, peel, and flip animations. Pack contents and rarity (Common, Uncommon, Rare, Legendary) are determined by the server at the moment of opening using published odds; animations are cosmetic and do not influence results. Pulls are final and cannot be rerolled.

Packs, pulls, card finishes, borders, and any rarity-based card XP bonus affect only in-platform progression and cosmetics. Rarity never changes market prices, returns, duel scoring, or outcomes in any game mode. Packs are not gambling, loot boxes for value, or prizes; they have no cash value and cannot be sold, traded, or redeemed. If points or packs are ever offered for purchase, those purchases buy entertainment access only and are governed by Section 8.

Game modes include Card Duels, Sudden Death and tie-breakers, tactical swaps, Crypto Blitz, Daily challenges, Over/Under, Earnings predictions, Wanted bounties, weekly picks, and leaderboards. Results are settled by TickerTCG's servers using third-party price feeds, and TickerTCG's settlement is final, including where a feed is delayed, unavailable, or later corrected. Duels never end in a draw; tie-break rules are part of the game.

Win-trading, self-dueling, multi-accounting, collusion, bots, and exploiting bugs are prohibited. TickerTCG may automatically limit repeated ranked matches between the same players (for example by switching them to unranked Exhibition play), void results, remove bounties, reset streaks, or revoke rewards obtained unfairly.

"Mac" is TickerTCG's official brand ambassador and fictional host character. Mac's commentary, rules tips, dispatches, quips, seals (such as "Verified by @Mac"), and social media content are entertainment and brand communications only — never financial advice, a recommendation, or an endorsement of any user, ticker, or result. Mac is not a playable card or competitor.

Official accounts (including @tickertcg, @mac, and @tickertcg_social) are operated by TickerTCG. Their levels, cards, and badges are honorary, may have messaging disabled, and do not compete for rewards. Anyone impersonating Mac or an official account will be removed.

Sentiment meters, bullish/bearish tallies, watchlist and watcher counts, trending tickers, earnings votes, community ideas, posts, comments, reactions, direct messages, live streams, and profile content are created by users and reflect their unverified personal opinions.

TickerTCG does not verify identity, credentials, holdings, positions, results, or claims made by any user, and does not endorse, adopt, fact-check, or take responsibility for any user-generated content. Such content may be biased, conflicted, promotional, coordinated, manipulative, mistaken, or entirely fabricated, including deliberate attempts to influence a stock's price. Aggregated player sentiment is a popularity signal about opinions on the Platform — it is not market research, not a forecast, and not a predictor of price or outcome.

You retain ownership of content you post and grant TickerTCG a worldwide, royalty-free, non-exclusive licence to host, display, reproduce, adapt, and distribute it in connection with operating and promoting the Platform. You are solely responsible and liable for everything you post, including compliance with securities, advertising, disclosure, and intellectual property laws.

You agree not to use the Platform to:

• provide personalised investment advice, solicit investments, manage others' money, or hold yourself out as licensed when you are not;
• pump, dump, ramp, spoof, front-run, or otherwise manipulate the price of any instrument, or spread deliberately false market information;
• share or act on material non-public (insider) information, or coordinate group buying or selling to move a price;
• promote paid signal groups, unregistered offerings, pyramid or ponzi schemes, or undisclosed sponsored promotions;
• harass, threaten, defame, dox, or impersonate any person, including TickerTCG staff and official accounts;
• post unlawful, hateful, sexually explicit, or infringing material, or automate, scrape, reverse engineer, overload, or circumvent the Platform's access controls;
• buy, sell, trade, auction, or attempt to monetise accounts, points, cards, or other Game Features.

TickerTCG may moderate, warn, mute, hide, remove content, adjust points, withdraw cards, or suspend or terminate any account at its sole discretion, with or without notice or reason.

Optional paid features (such as Pro) and voluntary creator tips are processed by third-party payment providers. TickerTCG does not store your full card details. Charges are for access to entertainment features only and never purchase securities, investment services, cash value, or any promise of return.

Unless required by law, payments and tips are non-refundable and non-reversible, and subscriptions continue until you cancel. Loss of access following cancellation, suspension, or discontinuation does not entitle you to a refund or to compensation for points, cards, or standings.

You may delete your account at any time from your settings. Deletion is permanent and removes your points, cards, standings, and history without compensation.

The Platform is provided on an "as is" and "as available" basis. TickerTCG may add, change, suspend, or discontinue any part of the Platform, including any Game Feature, data source, route, or scoring rule, at any time without notice. TickerTCG does not guarantee uptime, data accuracy, message delivery, stream quality, or preservation of any content or balance.

To the maximum extent permitted by law, TickerTCG disclaims all warranties, express, implied, or statutory, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, accuracy, quiet enjoyment, and any warranty arising from course of dealing or usage of trade. TickerTCG does not warrant that the Platform will be uninterrupted, secure, error-free, or free of harmful components, or that any information, sentiment signal, card stat, or market call on it is accurate, complete, or reliable.

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, TickerTCG and its founders, owners, operators, directors, employees, contractors, affiliates, licensors, moderators, and content creators (the "Released Parties") shall have no legal obligation, duty, or liability whatsoever to you or to any third party for any direct, indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary, or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill, capital, opportunity, points, cards, standings, or anticipated savings, arising out of or relating to the Platform, its content, its Game Features, any user-generated content or sentiment signal, any third-party data, any account action, or any decision you or anyone else makes in connection with them — whether based in contract, tort, negligence, strict liability, statute, or any other theory, and whether or not the Released Parties were advised of the possibility of such damages.

Where liability cannot lawfully be excluded, the total aggregate liability of the Released Parties for all claims is limited to the greater of the amount you paid TickerTCG in the three months preceding the claim, or USD 100.

By accessing or using the Platform you expressly acknowledge and agree, to the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, to waive, release, and forever discharge the Released Parties from any and all claims, demands, damages, losses, liabilities, costs, and causes of action — known or unknown, present or future — arising out of or relating to your use of the Platform, including trading and investment losses, reliance on any content, card, statistic, or sentiment signal, moderation and account decisions, loss of points or cards, service interruptions, and data errors.

You further covenant not to sue, arbitrate, initiate, join, or participate in any legal, regulatory, or class action against the Released Parties in respect of the released matters, and you agree to indemnify and hold the Released Parties harmless from any claim brought by a third party arising from your content or conduct on the Platform. Nothing here waives rights that cannot be waived under applicable law.

All content on the Platform is general, impersonal, and published to the community at large on a bona fide, regular basis. Nothing is tailored to any person's financial situation, objectives, or needs. TickerTCG relies on the publisher's exclusion from the definition of "investment adviser" under the U.S. Investment Advisers Act of 1940 and equivalent laws, and never accepts orders, routes trades, holds funds or securities, or receives compensation tied to any transaction.

Creators, streamers, and members who are compensated by, hold positions in, or are affiliated with an issuer they discuss must clearly disclose that interest. Undisclosed paid promotion ("touting") is prohibited.

You must not post, stream, message, or trade on the basis of material non-public information, or encourage others to do so. TickerTCG may remove such content, suspend the account involved, preserve records, and cooperate with lawful requests from regulators and law enforcement.

Duels, quests, leaderboards, and daily challenges are free-to-play skill games. No purchase is necessary to join or win any of them. A TickerTCG PRO subscription unlocks only cosmetic and convenience features and never improves your odds or scores. Points and prizes are in-platform items only. They cannot be cashed out, transferred, or sold. TickerTCG does not offer real-money wagering, sweepstakes, or prizes of monetary value. Any future promotion with real prizes will have its own official rules and eligibility limits.

You keep ownership of content you post, and you grant TickerTCG a worldwide, royalty-free licence to host, display, and distribute it on the Platform. Only post material you have the right to share. Embedded streams remain subject to the terms of their host platform.

TickerTCG respects intellectual property and follows the notice-and-takedown process of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (17 U.S.C. § 512). Our designated DMCA agent receives notices at support@tickertcg.com (subject line "DMCA Notice").

A valid notice must include: (1) a physical or electronic signature of the copyright owner or authorised agent; (2) identification of the copyrighted work; (3) the URL or location of the allegedly infringing material; (4) your name, address, phone and email; (5) a statement that you have a good-faith belief the use is not authorised by the owner, its agent, or the law; and (6) a statement, under penalty of perjury, that the notice is accurate and that you are authorised to act for the owner.

On a valid notice we promptly remove or disable access to the material and notify the poster. If your content was removed and you believe it was a mistake or misidentification, you may send a counter-notice containing your signature, identification of the removed material and its former location, a statement under penalty of perjury that you have a good-faith belief it was removed by mistake, your name, address and phone, and consent to the jurisdiction of the federal district court for your address. We may restore the material in 10–14 business days unless the claimant tells us they have filed a court action. Knowingly false notices or counter-notices may create liability under § 512(f).

Repeat infringer policy: accounts that receive multiple valid infringement notices are terminated in appropriate circumstances, and associated points, cards, and rewards are void.

You must be at least 18 years old to use the Platform. TickerTCG does not knowingly collect information from anyone under 18. If we learn an account belongs to someone under 18, we will terminate it immediately, void any points, cards, standings, and rewards, and delete associated personal data. Parents or guardians who believe a minor has an account can report it through the contact page. TickerTCG collects only the account, activity, and payment-status data needed to run the service. It does not sell personal information. You may request access to or deletion of your data through the contact page, including under the CCPA and GDPR where applicable.

Subscriptions renew automatically until cancelled. You can cancel at any time from your account settings in as few steps as it took to sign up. Your access continues until the end of the paid period.

"TickerTCG", "TickerTCG+", "TickerTCG PRO", "Card Duels", "Crypto Blitz", "Mirror Match", "Sudden Death", "Mac's Arena", "Mac's Vault", "Arena Master", "Verified by @Mac", "Wanted" bounties, the TickerTCG logo, gold candlestick-crown emblem and card mark, the slogan "Watch. Predict. Compete. Win.", the Mac ambassador character, official account names (including @tickertcg, @mac and @tickertcg_social), badges, crests, card designs, borders, frames, foil pack wrappers, and the Platform's look and feel (together, the "TickerTCG Marks") are trademarks, service marks, and trade dress of TickerTCG, whether registered or unregistered.

You may not use, copy, imitate, or register any TickerTCG Mark or anything confusingly similar — including in domain names, app names, social media handles, usernames, advertising keywords, products, or merchandise — without TickerTCG's prior written permission. You may not suggest that TickerTCG endorses, sponsors, or is affiliated with you or your content. Brand assets offered in the media kit may be used only as described there.

Stock tickers, company names, cryptocurrency names, and logos of third parties shown on ticker cards, charts, and pages belong to their respective owners. They are used only to identify those companies and assets for commentary and information (nominative fair use). Their appearance does not mean that any company, exchange, or issuer sponsors, endorses, or is affiliated with TickerTCG, and ticker cards are not issued by or associated with those companies. Owners who wish a logo to be removed may contact us through the contact page.

© 2026 TickerTCG. All rights reserved. The Mac character — including his name, visual likeness (carbon-gray face, cyan visor, black bucket hat with gold TCG emblem, gold chain, outfit, and glowing gold card), all poses and artwork, regional variants, backstory and lore, voice lines, quips, social media videos and reels, and dispatches — is an original copyrighted work and trademark owned exclusively by TickerTCG.

All TickerTCG artwork, logos, card art, pack wrappers, victory and share cards, media kit materials, screenshots, and written content are likewise owned by TickerTCG. You may share official share cards and links as provided by the Platform. You may not copy, redraw, animate, sell, print on merchandise, register, use in ads, create AI-generated imitations of, or make commercial derivatives of Mac or any TickerTCG work without prior written permission.

The Platform and all of its software, code, algorithms, game mechanics, scoring and tiebreaker systems, reputation and XP models, card rarity and grading systems, duel formats, designs, text, graphics, and compilations are owned by TickerTCG or its licensors and are protected by copyright, trademark, trade secret, and other intellectual property laws. TickerTCG may also seek patent protection for its inventions, and certain features may be the subject of pending or future patent applications. All rights not expressly granted in these Terms are reserved.

You may not, and may not help anyone else to:

• copy, clone, reproduce, or commercially exploit the Platform's game mechanics, scoring rules, card systems, or designs, or build a competing product from them;
• reverse engineer, decompile, disassemble, or attempt to extract source code, models, or trade secrets, except where the law expressly permits it;
• scrape, crawl, harvest, or bulk-download content, data, sentiment, or user information, or use it to train AI or machine-learning models;
• remove or alter any copyright, trademark, watermark, or other notice.

If you send ideas, suggestions, or feedback, TickerTCG may use them freely, without obligation or payment to you, and you will not gain any ownership in the Platform or in any feature developed from them.

You agree to defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Released Parties from any claims, losses, damages, fines, penalties, and costs (including reasonable legal fees) arising from your content, your use or misuse of the Platform, your violation of these Terms or any law, or your infringement of any third party's rights, including intellectual property, privacy, or publicity rights.

Before filing any claim, you agree to contact TickerTCG through the contact page and try to resolve the dispute informally for at least 60 days. If not resolved, any dispute arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform will be settled by binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, seated in Illinois, except that either party may bring an individual claim in small claims court, and either party may seek injunctive relief in court to protect intellectual property.

You and TickerTCG each waive the right to a jury trial and to participate in any class, collective, or representative action. You may opt out of this arbitration agreement by sending written notice through the contact page within 30 days of first accepting these Terms. Any claim must be brought within one year after it arises, or it is permanently barred, where the law allows.

You may not use the Platform if you are located in a country subject to comprehensive U.S. sanctions or are on any U.S. government restricted-party list. You are responsible for complying with the laws of the place where you access the Platform, and TickerTCG makes no claim that the Platform is lawful or available in every jurisdiction.

TickerTCG may update these Terms at any time; the version published here governs your use from the date shown above, and continued use after a change constitutes acceptance. If any provision is held unenforceable, the remainder stays in force and the unenforceable part is limited to the minimum extent necessary.

These Terms constitute the entire agreement between you and TickerTCG regarding the Platform, and are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law rules. A failure to enforce any provision is not a waiver of it.

You may not assign these Terms without TickerTCG's consent; TickerTCG may assign them freely, including in a merger or sale. TickerTCG is not liable for delays or failures caused by events beyond its reasonable control. Sections that by their nature should survive termination — including those on intellectual property, liability, release, indemnity, and disputes — survive.

Questions about these Terms can be sent through the contact page on this site.
