Terms and Conditions

50fifty - Terms and Conditions

Welcome to 50fifty, a platform that operates under event contracts to facilitate legal wagering in compliance with U.S. federal and state laws. These Terms and Conditions (the "Agreement") govern your access to and use of the 50fifty website, mobile application, and any related services (collectively, the "Services").

By registering an account or using our Services, you ("User," "you," or "your") acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms. If you do not agree with any part of these Terms, you must immediately discontinue use of the Services.

1. Overview of 50fifty and Event Contracts

50fifty operates under a regulated event contract model similar to other financial platforms like Kalshi and Robinhood. This means that instead of traditional gambling or sports betting, our platform offers event-based contracts where users can participate in binary event outcomes based on market consensus.

Each event contract represents a legal agreement between the User and the platform to predict a specified event's outcome, with payouts structured according to the contract's terms. The platform complies with applicable U.S. regulations and is designed to operate legally in all 50 U.S. states.

2. Eligibility

To use the Services, you must:

  • Be at least 18 years old (or the legal age in your jurisdiction, if higher).
  • Reside in a U.S. state where event contracts are legally permitted.
  • Not be subject to any restrictions preventing participation in event contracts.
  • Register with accurate and complete personal information.

The Company reserves the right to conduct identity verification and restrict access for users who do not meet these criteria.

3. Account Registration and Security

To access 50fifty, you must create an account by providing:

4. Event Contracts and Wagering Rules

4.1 How Event Contracts Work

  • Users can participate in event contracts by selecting one of two possible outcomes (e.g., RED or WHITE).
  • The winning outcome is determined by the event contract's rules (e.g., the outcome with the least amount of money bet).
  • The event contract settles every 10 minutes, at which point the results are finalized, and payouts are made accordingly.

4.2 Payout Structure

  • Winning users receive double their wagered amount.
  • Payouts are processed automatically to user accounts after settlement.
  • Any fees or taxes applicable to winnings are the responsibility of the user.

4.3 Bet Limits and Restrictions
