Editorial Policy

OddsCalendar is intended for adults who want to understand football fixtures, team context, match data, odds movement, prediction signals, competition formats, and leaderboard performance. The site is global, so laws, gambling ages, operator eligibility, odds availability, taxes, and prize rules differ by location.

This policy covers editorial decisions made by OddsCalendar. It does not control third-party bookmaker pages, data-provider feeds, official league records, regulator decisions, payment providers, app stores, search engines, social platforms, or user content submitted outside our product controls.

Our editorial standard is practical accuracy: content should be useful, clearly sourced where appropriate, honest about uncertainty, and written without gambling hype.

• Accuracy over speed: live football data moves quickly, but uncertain information should be framed as uncertain.
• Usefulness over volume: we do not publish thin pages just to target keywords.
• Separation of signals: facts, model output, editorial interpretation, user votes, affiliate links, and sponsored content must not be blurred together.
• Commercial transparency: affiliate and sponsored relationships must not secretly control editorial conclusions, challenge scoring, model output, or data corrections.
• Responsible framing: predictions, odds, confidence, and leaderboards must not be presented as guarantees, income opportunities, or instructions to gamble.

OddsCalendar may publish:

• football fixtures, scores, standings, lineups, team stats, player stats, form, and match context;
• competition pages, country pages, team pages, player pages, and match pages;
• odds information, bookmaker links, and market explainers;
• pregame and live prediction context, model explanations, and accuracy reporting;
• community vote summaries, My Bets explanations, and leaderboard context;
• prediction challenge rules, updates, and settlement explanations;
• responsible-gambling information and policy pages;
• editorial articles that explain football data, odds concepts, product features, and user workflows.

OddsCalendar does not publish:

• guaranteed-win claims or language implying certain betting outcomes;
• content aimed at minors or designed to exploit vulnerable users;
• instructions for bypassing KYC, age checks, geo-restrictions, self-exclusion, account controls, or operator rules;
• medical, legal, tax, debt, or financial advice;
• content that presents gambling as a way to earn income or solve financial problems;
• undisclosed paid endorsements, sponsored posts, or pay-to-rank placements.

We use a source hierarchy because not all information has the same reliability. A reader report, community vote, or social post can be useful, but it does not carry the same weight as an official rule, internal audit record, or provider payload.

When sources conflict, we investigate the conflict instead of quietly choosing the version that best supports a conclusion. Where appropriate, we explain uncertainty or update the page after the controlling source changes.

Editorial work follows a repeatable process, scaled to the risk of the topic. A low-risk product note may need a lighter check; a prediction challenge, affiliate page, odds explainer, or responsible-gambling page needs a stricter review.

We aim to preserve enough context to explain why a statement was published: source, timestamp, model version, challenge rule, provider record, or editorial basis where relevant.

Sports data and odds content can change quickly. Fixtures can move, lineups can be corrected, live events can be delayed, odds can suspend, and final records can change after provider or official review.

Editorial content that uses sports data should avoid overstating precision. We may use timestamps, status labels, page updates, and explanatory notes to show when a value is live, provisional, historical, or subject to correction.

Bookmaker links and odds tables are informational and may be commercial. They are not recommendations, predictions, or guaranteed prices. Odds and offers can differ by jurisdiction, account, device, currency, operator policy, market state, and timing. Users must verify current terms directly with the operator.

Prediction content is governed by both this Editorial Policy and our Methodology. Editorial writers may explain model output, visible signals, challenge rules, and leaderboard calculations, but they must not rewrite stored model records or challenge outcomes to fit a narrative.

My Bets and prediction challenges are prediction features, not bookmaker bets. The World Cup 2026 Predictor Challenge and future league challenges may involve prizes or leaderboards, so editorial language around them must be especially clear:

• no purchase, deposit, wager, bookmaker account, or affiliate click is required unless the specific rules lawfully say otherwise;
• challenge-specific rules control eligibility, deadlines, settlement, prizes, integrity review, and tie handling;
• leaderboards can be provisional until settlement and integrity checks are complete;
• model confidence and user accuracy must not be presented as future certainty;
• coverage must explain voids, postponed matches, abandoned fixtures, and rule conflicts plainly.

OddsCalendar may earn revenue from affiliate links, referral links, sponsorships, advertising, and other commercial relationships. Commercial relationships help fund the site, but they must not secretly control factual claims, model output, challenge scoring, responsible-gambling guidance, or corrections.

Our commercial rules:

• affiliate links may appear in odds displays, bookmaker modules, articles, emails, or product pages;
• sponsored content must be clearly labeled as sponsored, advertising, or equivalent plain-language wording;
• operators and partners may provide factual corrections, but they cannot buy removal of accurate criticism or correction history;
• we do not accept undisclosed pay-to-rank arrangements;
• if a placement is primarily commercial, the user should not have to infer that from context alone.

Commercial availability can affect whether a bookmaker link is shown, but it must not be described as an independent editorial endorsement unless the editorial basis is also explained.

OddsCalendar may use automation and AI-assisted tools for research organization, drafting support, summarization, translation support, quality checks, structured-data generation, sports-data processing, odds mapping, prediction modeling, and internal workflow improvements.

AI and automation controls include:

• human review for editorial pages before publication;
• no AI byline in place of accountable human or company responsibility;
• extra caution for gambling, legal, financial, health, safety, prize, and eligibility topics;
• no mass-generated pages that add little original value;
• source and timestamp preservation where automation affects important user-facing data;
• correction when automation produces or contributes to a material error.

Automated sports data, model output, and odds displays can be useful, but they are not infallible. Editorial text should make the limits of automated systems clear where users could otherwise misunderstand them.

Some pages may show Top Guides, trusted coverage strips, recommended articles, or internal links. These modules are meant to help users find useful OddsCalendar content quickly.

Top Guides are selected using editorial criteria such as:

• clarity and usefulness for the target audience;
• accuracy and freshness;
• coverage balance across different user questions;
• connection to current OddsCalendar features, competitions, or policies;
• responsible framing and absence of exaggerated claims.

Top Guides are not guaranteed-result claims and should not be treated as paid rankings unless explicitly labeled as sponsored or advertising.

OddsCalendar content may be written, reviewed, edited, or maintained by internal team members, contractors, subject-matter contributors, or technical systems under company oversight. Pages may show author information where it helps users understand accountability.

Editors and contributors should disclose relevant conflicts to the company, including commercial relationships, operator relationships, personal involvement in a challenge, or access to sensitive internal information that could affect coverage.

Alexander Westerlund oversees editorial standards, content structure, and review processes for OddsCalendar. As the site grows, author and reviewer information may expand to include additional writers, editors, and technical contributors.

We update content when it becomes outdated, incomplete, unclear, or materially affected by product changes, source changes, challenge rules, sports data corrections, affiliate changes, responsible-gambling standards, or reader feedback.

A visible Last updated timestamp may reflect a meaningful page change, policy revision, correction, metadata update, or material refresh. Minor formatting, typo, or technical changes may not always change the visible editorial timestamp.

For live or data-heavy pages, displayed sports values may update independently of a manually edited article timestamp.

If we publish a material error, we aim to correct or clarify it. Corrections can affect page text, fixture data, odds mapping, model explanation, prediction records, leaderboard rows, challenge settlement, or policy language.

To request a correction, email us with:

• the page URL;
• the exact text, data point, odds display, pick, rule, or record you believe is wrong;
• the reason it is wrong or outdated;
• the source, screenshot, official rule, or record supporting your request;
• whether the issue affects a prediction challenge, leaderboard, prize, user account, or responsible-gambling matter.

We do not remove accurate content, lawful disclosures, responsible-gambling warnings, or legitimate editorial criticism simply because a user, operator, partner, or competitor dislikes it.

Because OddsCalendar publishes odds information, bookmaker links, prediction features, and football confidence signals, our editorial language must avoid encouraging harmful gambling behavior.

• We do not describe predictions as guaranteed, safe, risk-free, easy money, or a way to recover losses.
• We do not suggest that frequent gambling, larger stakes, or chasing losses improves outcomes.
• We avoid content that targets minors or vulnerable people.
• We separate free prediction challenges from bookmaker betting activity.
• We link to our Responsible Gambling page where safer-gambling context is relevant.

OddsCalendar content can be useful without being final or complete. We cannot guarantee that every fixture, score, lineup, market, operator offer, prediction, challenge record, or editorial statement is always current, available, or error-free.

Users should verify important information with the controlling source before making decisions involving money, legal compliance, travel, match attendance, bookmaker accounts, challenge participation, taxes, or prize eligibility.
