Rules of the game

StavRate is a virtual betting tournament platform where users can participate in various leagues and competitions, such as the StavRate League, Cup, and international tournaments. The platform is designed for sports enthusiasts who enjoy fantasy leagues and competitive betting experiences.

While basic access is free, users can opt for a premium subscription to unlock additional features like unlimited tournaments, an ad-free experience, and exclusive perks.

We are two Ukrainian founders, Alex S and Alex M, who started StavRate during our university years. For many years, we improved the project without monetization, covering all expenses ourselves.

Today, StavRate has grown into a global platform with a website and mobile apps for Android and iOS.

You can still play in our tournaments for free, but if you wish to support us, consider subscribing to our Premium plan. Your support helps us continue developing and enhancing the platform.

1. Conduct:

   The site prohibits insulting other players, using obscene language, and discussing political topics. Violations may result in penalties including temporary suspension (ranging from 1 day to 60 days or more) or permanent blocking, depending on the severity of the infraction. The duration of temporary suspensions is determined by the site administration based on the seriousness of the violation.

2. Private Messaging:

   To prevent potential match-fixing in the StavRate Cup and League, the site administration has decided not to implement a private messaging feature.

Yes, you can view the predictions of other users for a match immediately after it has started. These predictions are accessible in the personal profile of each user. This feature ensures transparency, allowing all users to verify that predictions and bets remain unchanged after the match has begun, thereby preventing any potential manipulation.
