3-A. Legal Nature of the Platform and Distinction from Betting
Formal Statement: SÓ PITACO is NOT a betting operator
1 Platform Definition
SÓ PITACO is a digital recreational entertainment platform based on predictions about the outcomes of football matches. The platform is NOT, and does not intend to be, a fixed-odds betting operator under Law 14.790/2023 and the regulations of the Secretariat of Prizes and Betting of the Ministry of Finance (SECAP/MF).
2 Elements Supporting the Legal Distinction
(a) Absence of Financial Prize
The platform does not offer, promise, distribute, or intermediate any prize in money, goods, or valuables tied to the user’s performance in the prediction tournament.
(b) Payment for the Service, Not for Betting
The amount paid for Premium access compensates access to digital features (unlimited lists, personalization, expanded ranking) and does not constitute entry into a prize competition.
(c) Absence of Random Chance Operated by the Platform
The platform does not organize or intermediate draws, lotteries, or chance-based events — it merely records predictions freely made by the user regarding external and independent sports events.
(d) Informational and Recreational Nature
The scoring generated by the platform has an exclusively recreational and social purpose, without any intrinsic economic value.
3 Regulatory Framework
The operational model of SÓ PITACO is legally similar to what are commonly called "knowledge-based fantasy sports" (games of skill and sports knowledge), a category distinct from fixed-odds betting in multiple jurisdictions. However, the platform does not claim any specific regulatory ranking within this category and operates under the general framework of the Brazilian Internet Civil Framework (Law 12.965/2014) and the Consumer Protection Code (Law 8.078/1990).
Consequences of Misuse
Any use of the platform that subverts these elements — especially the introduction of financial rewards based on ranking positions by affiliates or users — constitutes a serious violation of these Terms and may subject the offender to sanctions provided under Law No. 14,790/2023 and Decree-Law No. 3,688/1941, for which the platform is not responsible.
4. Registration and User Account
4.1. Registration Requirements
-
Valid Email: Required for authentication and password recovery.
-
Responsible Information: When providing your first name, last name, nickname, or any name you wish to be called by, you agree not to use words that could be considered offensive, profanity, discriminatory terms, or aggressive language of any kind. We remind you that our platform is an inclusive space, with people of diverse gender identities, ethnicities, ages, beliefs, and cultures, and everyone must be treated with respect and dignity.
4.2. User Responsibilities
- → Password Security: You are responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your password.
- → Account Activities: You are responsible for all activities performed on your account.
- → Unauthorized Access Notification: Notify us immediately of any unauthorized use.
- → Data Update: Keep your registration information up to date.
- → Purpose: Do not use the account for illegal activities, including money betting, organizing gambling or any improper commercial use of the platform.
Deadline for New Registrations
There is no deadline for creating new accounts, but users who register after a match has started will not be able to register predictions for that match, even if it is still in progress. They will start scoring from the next matches. The same applies to podium predictions, which will have a deadline and will be available on the specific page for that purpose.
However, for the purchase of Premium access, the deadline will be the start of the last Round of 16 match, on July 7 at 1:00 p.m. (local match time).
5. Prediction Rules
5.1. Submission Deadlines
⚽ Match Predictions
Must be registered before each match's start time (stadium local time). After kickoff, predictions are automatically locked.
🏆 Podium Predictions
Champion, Runner-up, and 3rd place predictions must be submitted by the deadline specified on the dedicated page. After that moment, it will not be possible to choose or edit the podium.
5.2. Prediction Modification
- ✓ You can modify your predictions as many times as you want before the deadline.
- ✗ After the deadline, no changes are allowed (system locked).
- ⓘ Automatic save when filling in scores (no need to click "Save").
5.3. Validation and Scoring
-
1
Automatic Calculation: Points are calculated automatically after each match ends. There may be a small delay due to unforeseen circumstances, but once resolved, the update will be performed.
-
2
Ranking Update: Rankings are updated in real-time after each confirmed result. There may be a small delay due to unforeseen circumstances, but once resolved, the update will be performed.
-
3
Empty Predictions: Matches without registered predictions result in 0 points.
-
4
Tiebreak Criteria: In case of a tie, the order of tiebreak criteria among Premium participants with the same score will be as follows: Champion, Runner-up, 3rd place, Exact scores, and Correct results.
Absolute Prohibition: Rankings Do NOT Generate Prizes
The ranking is purely recreational and competitive among friends. There is NO prize, financial reward or any monetary benefit linked to ranking position or number of correct predictions, under any circumstances.
Examples of PROHIBITED Situations
- ❌ "1st place in the ranking wins R$ 100"
- ❌ "Top 10 participants receive a prize"
- ❌ "Whoever gets the most games right wins"
- ❌ "Championship with prizes by placement"
Permitted Alternatives
- ✅ Random draw among active participants (not linked to performance)
- ✅ Symbolic recognition with no financial value
- ✅ Friendly competition solely for the pleasure of participating
Legal Justification
Linking prizes to prediction rankings may characterize the platform as a prize-based forecasting game, subjecting it to applicable gambling regulations or ranking as a criminal offense. This restriction ensures the platform maintains its exclusively recreational nature.
Prediction Transparency
Premium users can view the predictions of other participants in the lists they belong to after matches start and after the deadline for podium predictions, promoting transparency and fun among friends, preventing copying and ensuring a fairer and more enjoyable competition.
RECREATIONAL NATURE: The scoring system is transparent and public to ensure fair and friendly competitions. Points have no monetary value and are exclusively for entertainment among participants.
6. Payments and Premium Access

- 🎮 Premium = extra entertainment features, not for betting or financial gain
- 🚫 Premium DOES NOT turn the platform into a betting house or gambling service
- 💳 Premium Access Price: The Premium access price may be changed at any time for new subscribers. Changes do not affect access that has already been purchased
6.1. Payment Model

In case of technical problems, contact us through the contact form.
6.3. Refund Policy and Chargeback Prevention
Important Notice
Considering the digital, immediate, and irreversible nature of access to the Premium service, refunds are strictly limited to the cases described below:
Refund Conditions
1. Technical Error
Applicable exclusively in cases of:
- • Proven failure in payment processing;
- • Duplicate charge for the same user and referring to the same Premium access.
Not applicable when the same person makes payments for two or more distinct users, even if using the same payment details and/or payment methods.
Request deadline: up to 30 (thirty) days from the transaction date.
2. Service Not Activated
If Premium access is not granted within 72 (seventy-two) hours after payment confirmation.
Request deadline: up to 30 (thirty) days from the transaction date.
No Refund After Exercise of the Right of Withdrawal
Pursuant to Article 49 of the Brazilian Consumer Protection Code (Law No. 8,078/1990), the right of withdrawal within 7 (seven) days is fully guaranteed and is deemed fully satisfied through the complete availability of Premium features during the free trial period.
By using the trial period and subsequently choosing to purchase Premium access, the user declares that they have fully exercised their right of evaluation and withdrawal, acknowledging that:
- The service is digital in nature and performed immediately;
- Access is granted instantly and consumed irreversibly;
- There is no technical possibility of "returning" the used service.
Therefore, no refund will be granted after payment confirmation, except in the expressly provided cases of Technical Error or Service Not Activated.
Strict Chargeback Policy
The user agrees that initiating a chargeback with the card issuer, financial institution, or payment processor without prior contact with the platform support constitutes a violation of these Terms of Use.
If an improper chargeback is identified, especially after:
- • Full use of the free trial period;
- • Voluntary confirmation of Premium subscription;
- • Effective use of the service;
The following immediate and irrevocable measures will be adopted:
- Immediate suspension of Premium access
- Permanent restriction on future payments on the platform
- Adoption of appropriate legal measures to recover material and financial damages
The user acknowledges that chargebacks generate:
- • Direct financial losses to the platform;
- • Administrative fees and penalties;
- • Risk of blocking or restriction by payment intermediaries;
- • Reputational damage and risk of suspension of essential financial services for platform operation.
In the event of an improper chargeback, the platform may:
- • Judicially collect the principal amount plus charges, administrative fees, court costs, and legal fees;
- • Register the default through legally permitted means;
- • Use access records, logs, and proof of service usage as evidence of service consumption.
- • Prevent the deletion of the account, retaining the stored data and records for possible submission to the competent authorities or for the adoption of appropriate measures aimed at recovering the improper chargeback.
A chargeback after use of the trial period will be considered presumably improper, resulting in immediate suspension of access while the case is reviewed. If the absence of a valid technical justification is confirmed, the suspension becomes permanent.
Mandatory Procedure Before Any Dispute
Before requesting any chargeback from the card issuer, the user must MANDATORILY contact the platform’s official support for an attempt at an administrative resolution.
Our commitment is to resolve any issues quickly, transparently, and fairly.
Opening a direct chargeback without prior contact will be interpreted as an abusive measure when service usage is proven.
