What Sky Bet's terms let it do — quoted from the document, clause by clause.

Each card is one condition captured from the operator's own terms, with the exact wording and what it means for you. Impact rates the clause as written, not the operator. A condition we haven't captured in this snapshot is shown as not disclosed — never assumed against you.

Impact on you

calm 3-band · rates the clause, never the operator
neutral
reflects standard market practice — little extra effect on the consumer
moderate
adds real friction or cost beyond the norm — a lock, a fee, a reversible window
harsh
reserves a materially adverse right — a hard cap, discretionary confiscation, forum stripping

A condition we have not captured is rendered not disclosed in slate — never red. Absence of a clause is a gap in our capture, not evidence against the operator.

Brands cannot pay to change their score. Terms are quoted verbatim, never summarised, and no clause card links to a sign-up or claim offer.

Methodology note

This surfaces the conditions an operator reserved in its own terms & conditions — never a fairness score, never stars. Impact rates the clause as written on the consumer, not a moral verdict on the operator. Methodology 2.1.
