You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age to create an account, deposit funds, or participate in any contest. RECKN LLC utilizes third-party identity verification and KYC services to confirm dates of birth. Accounts held by minors will be permanently terminated and all staked balances forfeited in accordance with applicable laws.

RECKN is strictly a peer-to-peer user-generated skill prediction platform — not a sportsbook, casino, or gambling operator. Due to varying state-level statutory frameworks, residents of the following states are prohibited from depositing, staking, or participating in contests:

• Arizona (AZ)
• Iowa (IA)
• Louisiana (LA)
• Montana (MT)
• Washington (WA)

Real-time geolocation fencing is enforced. Circumvention via VPN, proxy, or spoofing constitutes material breach and will result in a permanent ban and wallet freeze.

All contests, prediction arenas, and "moments" are created, broadcasted, and evaluated exclusively by user-generated creators, not by RECKN LLC. Every contest must rely on the outcome of a live-broadcasted skill event, physical feat, digital gaming performance, or measurable condition. Pure games of chance and RNG-based predictions are prohibited. Creators are solely responsible for defining tiers, terms, and contest boundaries prior to locking entries.

Evaluation Lock: The moment a creator submits an outcome, the contest funds move into an automated escrow for 300 seconds. Payouts are never instant.

25% Chat Appeal Trigger: Any logged-in user holding a paid entry may flag a formal appeal during the escrow window.

Decentralized Escalation: If 25% or more of unique participant entries appeal, the escrow timer freezes, the creator's "Undo Settlement" is disabled, and the arena escalates to disputed_admin_review.

Final Arbitration: RECKN's compliance team audits the cryptographically preserved Mux VAR 60-second clip. The final administrator ruling is absolute, binding, and non-appealable.

All financial tracking is measured in USD via an internal ledger. Demo top-ups during beta are capped at $200 per rolling 24-hour window, hold zero cash-out value, and are non-transferable. Real deposits update verified wallet_balance_cents and are instantly escrowed into the contest's isolated table on entry. In compliance with U.S. internal revenue tax structures, cumulative performance distributions clearing six hundred dollars ($600.00) or more within a single calendar year will be programmatically routed to a secure, non-spendable tax escrow account until a verified IRS W-9 form is successfully submitted and processed by the Platform.

Creators must possess full IP rights or broadcast clearances for any stream pushed through their Mux RTMP key. Re-broadcasting copyrighted TV feeds, professional sports broadcasts (NFL, NBA, MLB, FIFA, etc.), pay-per-view events, or third-party owned media is strictly prohibited. RECKN may use automated fingerprinting, audio analysis, or DMCA takedown responses, and may trigger kill_broadcast_for_safety — closing the room and refunding active arenas.

Public rankings and leaderboards evaluate users strictly on prediction accuracy percentages and total volumetric prediction counts. Financial stakes, net performance values, and individual wallet balances are completely omitted from public competitive displays.

THE PLATFORM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS-IS" AND "AS-AVAILABLE" BASIS. RECKN LLC MAKES NO WARRANTIES REGARDING UPTIME OF MUX VIDEO ENCODERS, ZERO-LATENCY WEBHOOK DELIVERY, OR REALTIME SOCKET INTERACTIONS, AND SHALL NOT BE LIABLE FOR LOSS OF REAL OR DEMO FUNDS RESULTING FROM USER DISCONNECTION, ENCODER DROPS, OR INTERNET ROUTING INTERRUPTIONS OUTSIDE OUR DIRECT CLOUD SERVERS.

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Delaware, without regard to its conflict of law provisions. Any dispute arising under or related to these Terms or the Platform shall be resolved through binding individual arbitration administered by the American Arbitration Association under its Consumer Arbitration Rules. You expressly waive any right to bring or participate in any class action lawsuit or class-wide arbitration related to these Terms or the Platform.
