Risk Disclosure — Dycers
Risk Disclosure — Dycers
Last updated: 28 May 2026 Effective date: 28 May 2026
Please read this Risk Disclosure carefully before using Dycers (the “App”) and before placing any bet on the basis of information provided by it. This document is an integral part of the Terms of Use.
By tapping “I agree” or by continuing to use the App, you confirm that you have read, understood and accepted the risks set out below.
1. Sports betting is gambling. Gambling is risky.
Sports betting involves a real and substantial risk of financial loss. You may lose part or all of the money you stake, and these losses can accumulate quickly.
Dycers does not eliminate that risk. It is an analytical and informational tool: it shows you opportunities that appear mathematically favourable based on the odds published by bookmakers at a given moment. It does not place bets for you, and it does not guarantee any outcome.
Never bet money you cannot afford to lose.
2. We are not a bookmaker
Dycers is not a bookmaker, not a betting operator, not a broker, not a financial-services provider. We do not:
- Accept, place, hold or settle wagers;
- Hold a gambling licence;
- Collect or pay out winnings;
- Receive a commission from bookmakers on bets you place.
Every bet you place is placed by you, in your own name, with a third-party bookmaker of your choice, under that bookmaker’s terms and conditions. We are not a party to that contract.
3. Age and jurisdiction
You must be at least 18 years old (or the higher local age of majority for sports betting in your country of residence) to use the App. You must also be lawfully entitled to access sports-betting services in the country from which you access the App.
Sports betting is restricted or prohibited in many jurisdictions, including (non-exhaustively) several US states, Mainland China, and a number of Muslim-majority countries. It is your responsibility — not ours — to verify that your use of the App and of any bookmaker is lawful where you are located.
4. “Arbitrage” does not mean “risk-free”
The Radar feature flags situations where the implied probabilities across bookmakers add up to less than 100%, suggesting that a combination of bets could produce a positive return regardless of the outcome. This is commonly called “arbitrage” or “sure betting”.
In theory, arbitrage produces a guaranteed profit. In practice, it does not. The principal risks are:
4.1 Odds change
Odds change in real time. By the time you open a bookmaker app and place your bet, the displayed odds may already be different or no longer available. If one leg of the arbitrage is placed at a worse price (or refused entirely), the operation can turn into a loss.
4.2 Bookmakers reject, void or “palpable error” bets
Bookmakers reserve the right to:
- Refuse a bet without explanation;
- Reduce the maximum stake at the moment of acceptance (“stake factoring”);
- Void a bet after the event for “palpable error”, “obvious error” or “manifest pricing error” in the odds;
- Settle a bet at different odds than displayed.
Each of these can leave you with unhedged exposure and a real loss.
4.3 Account limits, restrictions and closures
Bookmakers actively detect and penalise arbitrage / sure-betting / bonus-hunting behaviour. They may, at their sole discretion and at any time:
- Lower your maximum stake to a trivial amount;
- Restrict you to “recreational” markets;
- Demand additional KYC documents and freeze your balance during the review;
- Suspend or close your account;
- Confiscate winnings or freebet-generated balances;
- Share information about you with other operators through industry databases.
Dycers has no control over and no responsibility for these decisions.
4.4 Match cancellation, postponement or void
If a match is cancelled, postponed beyond the bookmaker’s deadline, abandoned, or settled as a draw / void under the bookmaker’s rules, one leg of an arbitrage may be refunded while the other still loses. The net result can be negative.
4.5 Liquidity, currency and rounding
Minimum-stake and maximum-stake limits, currency conversion fees, banking fees, withdrawal limits and rounding can erode or eliminate the theoretical margin shown in the App.
4.6 Bookmaker insolvency
If a bookmaker becomes insolvent or is shut down by a regulator while you hold funds with it, you may lose those funds. We have no liability for such losses.
5. Freebets and bonuses
The “Freebets” feature calculates the expected value of placing a bookmaker-issued freebet on a given selection. Expected value is a statistical average over many trials. It is not what you will win on any one bet. A bet with a positive expected value can — and often does — lose.
Freebets are also subject to the issuing bookmaker’s terms, which typically include wagering requirements, minimum odds, maximum cash-out, expiry dates and exclusions. Read those terms before acting.
6. Data quality and timing
The odds, probabilities, league data, team data and statistics shown in the App come from third-party providers (in particular The Odds API and football-data providers). We display this information as we receive it.
- Data may be delayed, incomplete, inaccurate, or temporarily unavailable.
- Probabilities and “AI proba” / “expected value” indicators are statistical estimates, not predictions of outcome.
- Push notifications may be delayed, undelivered or muted by your device or operating system.
Always re-verify on the bookmaker’s official site or app before placing any bet.
7. Mathematical disclaimer
The arbitrage margin, optimal-hedge stake, expected-value and probability figures displayed in the App are computed from formulas that assume:
- The displayed odds are simultaneously available;
- Both / all legs can be placed at those odds, in the required amounts, without rejection or restriction;
- No bookmaker rule (palpable error, void, KYC freeze) applies after the fact;
- No currency or banking fees are incurred.
When any of these assumptions does not hold — and in real markets at least one usually does not — the actual outcome will differ from the displayed figure, sometimes substantially.
8. Tax
Winnings from sports betting may be subject to tax in your country of residence. You are solely responsible for declaring and paying any tax due. The App does not provide tax advice and does not produce tax statements.
9. Responsible gambling
Gambling can become addictive. Warning signs include:
- Betting more than you planned;
- Borrowing money to bet;
- Chasing losses;
- Lying to family or friends about your betting;
- Feeling anxious, guilty or depressed about your betting.

If your national regulator operates a national self-exclusion register (for example FDJ / ANJ in France, GAMSTOP in the UK), you can register on it to block yourself from licensed operators in that country.
You can also limit your use of Dycers itself at any time by uninstalling the App or deleting your account from Settings → Account → Delete account.
10. No liability for your bets
Without limiting any provision of the Terms of Use:
- We are not liable for any bet you place, win or lose;
- We are not liable for opportunities that disappear, change or are refused by a bookmaker between display and placement;
- We are not liable for any bookmaker decision to limit, suspend, close or seize the balance of your account;
- We are not liable for errors, delays or interruptions in third-party odds and stats data;
- We are not liable for missed notifications.
Your decision to place any bet is your own, taken in full knowledge of the risks set out in this document.
