These documents are a draft and are not in force.
They have been written to be reviewed by an Australian lawyer, not to be relied on. Some details are still blank, shown as [ — ], and the points that need a lawyer's judgement are marked in the margin. Nothing here limits your rights under the Australian Consumer Law, and nothing here is legal advice.
Terms of Use
These terms cover your use of The Stat Lab — the website, and the pass if you buy one. They are written to be read, not to be survived. Where a term could be read two ways, the reading that favours you is the one we will apply.
Not yet in force — see the notice above. Last revised 2026-09-05.
1.Who You Are Dealing With
The Stat Lab is operated by [ — ], ABN [ — ], of [ — ], Western Australia, Australia. You can reach us at [ — ]. That address is monitored, and the response times promised in these documents are measured against it.
2.What This Service Is
The Stat Lab publishes statistics about AFL and NFL players and, for some players, bookmakers' published prop lines alongside them. Everything on the site is either something a player has actually recorded, a price a bookmaker has actually published, or a projection we describe openly as a recency-weighted average of that player's own past games.
It is information, not advice. We do not publish tips, picks, selections, leans, confidence ratings or recommended bets. We do not tell you what to bet, how much to bet, or whether to bet at all. We are not a bookmaker, we do not accept or place bets, and we hold no money for you other than the price of the pass.
We do publish a projection of our own, and on the research page it appears on the same card as a bookmaker’s line. It is built only from that player's own past games, with no market data, team news or injury information in it. The bookmaker's line has all of that, and when the two are measured against what players actually did, the line is the more accurate number more often than ours is. The difference between our number and the market's is not an edge, and you should not treat it as one.
Nothing on The Stat Lab is financial product advice within the meaning of the Corporations Act 2001 (Cth), and we do not hold an Australian Financial Services Licence.
3.You Must Be 18 or Over
The pass is only available to people aged 18 or over. The site asks you to confirm your age before you use it. That is a declaration by you, not a verification by us — if you are under 18, you must not use The Stat Lab, whatever you told the age prompt.
You are responsible for making sure that using this service, and anything you do as a result of it, is lawful where you are. We publish from Australia for an Australian audience.
4.The Pass
There is one paid product: the pass. It costs A$15 a month including GST if GST applies, and it is a subscription. Your card is charged today and then on the same date each month until you stop it. There is no minimum term, no lock-in period, and no fee for leaving.
Cancel any time — you keep access to the end of the month you have paid for, and you are not charged again. You cancel from the account page, which opens Stripe's billing portal — one button, taking effect immediately, with no requirement to contact us, explain yourself or wait for us to act. If that page will not open for any reason, email us at the address in clause 1 and we will cancel it for you; either way you are not charged again.
The price you sign up at is the price you keep. If we raise the price, the new price applies to new sign-ups. It does not apply to a pass that is already running, and we will not increase what you are charged without telling you in advance and giving you the chance to cancel first.
Payment is processed by Stripe. We never see or store your card number. If a payment fails, Stripe retries it over the following days; if it keeps failing, the subscription ends and access lapses at the end of the period you have already paid for. We do not charge you for a period you have not paid for.
If you already hold a one-time Season Pass — the A$25 pass sold before 5 September 2026 — it is unaffected. It runs to its own expiry date, you are not charged anything, and there is nothing for you to cancel. That product is no longer sold.
5.Your Account
You need an account to buy a pass. Keep your sign-in details to yourself; a pass is for one person, and sharing your login or your access is not permitted.
You can close your account at any time by emailing us. Closing it does not by itself entitle you to a refund of the pass, but the refund policy may.
6.What You May and May Not Do With the Data
You may use The Stat Lab for your own personal research. You may not:
- scrape, crawl, bulk-download or systematically extract the data, or use automated tools against the site or its API;
- republish, resell, syndicate or redistribute the data — in particular the bookmakers' prices — as a data feed, file, API or standalone data product;
- share your account, or give others access to paid pages through it;
- present our output as your own, or as tips, selections or advice from us.
The restriction on redistributing market data is not a preference. Our access to bookmakers' prices is licensed on terms that permit their use in an analytical tool and prohibit their redistribution as a standalone data product. If you redistribute them, we lose the licence, and the product stops existing for everyone.
AFL statistics and fixtures come from afltables.com and Squiggle. NFL statistics and fixtures come from nflverse. Market data is provided by The Odds API. We do not own those underlying datasets. The site itself, the projections, the writing and the design are ours.
7.What We Promise, and What We Don't
Your rights under Australian Consumer Law are not affected by anything in this document. Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded. You are entitled to a refund for a major failure, and to compensation for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. You are also entitled to have the service put right if it is not of acceptable quality and the failure does not amount to a major failure. If any part of these terms says otherwise, that part does not apply.
Beyond those guarantees: we do not promise that any projection will be correct, that any statistic will predict anything, or that using The Stat Lab will make you money. It very well may not. Sports results are uncertain and our projections are regularly wrong — which is why we grade them in public.
We do not guarantee uninterrupted availability. The site depends on third-party data suppliers, and when they are late, wrong or down, so are we. Where a number cannot be produced honestly, the site is designed to say so rather than fill the gap.
8.Betting Is Your Decision, and Your Risk
If you bet, you do so on your own judgement. We are not responsible for any money you lose betting, whatever you read here first. That is not a disclaimer we are hiding behind — it is the whole design of the product. We publish context; the decision is yours and the consequences are yours.
For loss that the law does allow us to limit, we limit our liability to the maximum extent permitted by law. We do not exclude or limit anything we cannot lawfully exclude or limit, and we do not cap what you can recover under the consumer guarantees — those are set by the Australian Consumer Law, not by us.
9.Suspending or Ending Your Access
We may suspend or end your access if you breach clause 6 (scraping, sharing or redistributing), if you use the service unlawfully, or if we are required to. Where it is reasonable to do so we will tell you first and give you a chance to fix the problem.
If we end your access for a reason that is not your fault — including if we stop operating the service — we will refund the unused part of your pass. See the refund policy.
10.Changes to These Terms
We may change these terms, but not retrospectively and not silently. If a change materially reduces what you get for a pass you have already paid for, we will tell you by email before it takes effect, and you may ask for a pro-rata refund of the remainder of your pass instead of accepting it.
Minor changes — corrections, clarifications, contact details — take effect when published. The revision date at the top of this page always reflects the current version.
11.Complaints, and the Law That Applies
If something has gone wrong, email [ — ] first — most things are fixable that way, and we would rather fix them. If we cannot resolve it, you can contact the ACCC or your state or territory consumer protection agency. In Western Australia that is Consumer Protection, part of the Department of Energy, Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety.
These terms are governed by the laws of Western Australia, Australia. You may bring proceedings in the courts of Western Australia, or in the courts of the place where you live.
