Policy & disclosures

Soccer 26 has no affiliate, referral, advertising, or commercial relationship with any sportsbook, betting operator, or data reseller. We are not paid if you sign up anywhere or place a bet, and there are no tracked outbound betting links. Bookmaker odds are displayed solely for comparison and analysis — to measure the model against the market and to compute closing-line value. If that ever changes, it will be disclosed here and on every page it affects, before the fact.

Everything here is a statistical estimate for interest and education. Model probabilities and "edges" are uncertain and frequently wrong; a positive edge is a disagreement with the market, not a tip and not a guarantee of profit. Nothing on this site is betting, investment, tax, or financial advice, and it is not personalised to you. Any decisions you make are your own.

Gambling laws differ by country and region, and many places restrict or prohibit it. This is an 18+ (or your local legal age) analysis project; it does not target, solicit, or knowingly accept users from any jurisdiction where viewing or acting on this content is unlawful. It is your responsibility to know and follow the laws that apply to you. Gamble only where it is legal, only what you can afford to lose.

Betting should be entertainment, never a way to make money or recover losses. Set time and money limits, never chase, and stop if it stops being fun. If gambling is affecting you or someone you know, free, confidential help is available:

• BeGambleAware — advice and self-assessment (UK)
• GamCare — support and the National Gambling Helpline (UK)
• NCPG — 1-800-GAMBLER (US)
• Gamblers Anonymous — peer support

• Match odds — The Odds API (consensus & per-book prices for the de-vig, edges, and CLV).
• Historical results & team ratings — the public martj42 international football results dataset, which trains the Elo ratings.
• Squads — the public 2026 FIFA World Cup squads article on Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), shown with attribution.
• Team news — public RSS from BBC Sport, The Guardian, and ESPN, shown as headline links back to the source.
• Fixtures & venues — the official FIFA World Cup 2026 schedule.

This is a static site with no accounts, no logins, and no analytics or advertising trackers. It collects no personal information. Features like your watchlist and "Beat the Model" picks are stored only in your own browser's localStorage — they never leave your device and are not sent anywhere. The newsletter (when enabled) is the only opt-in that would involve a third-party provider, and only with an email you give deliberately.
