Terms & Conditions
Last updated · 8 May 2026
1. Promoter
This free-to-enter promotional prediction game (the "Game") is operated by Hot Comps Ltd, registered in England and Wales.
2. Duration
The Game runs year-round across the PDC darts calendar. Predictions open as Statorium publishes each match's schedule and lock at the scheduled match start time.
3. Eligibility
Open to UK residents aged 18 or over. By entering you confirm both. Hot Comps employees may participate but are excluded from any promotional prizes.
4. How to Enter
Sign up at darts.hotcomps.com — or via the iOS app — using the email magic-link flow. No purchase necessary. Choose a username, confirm you're 18+, then predict matches.
5. Scoring & Credit
See /rules for the full scoring breakdown. Site credit accrues at 5p / match (winner) and an extra 5p / match (exact score). Wallet balance caps at £5; once at the cap you stop earning new credit until you claim. Credit is redeemable as a hotcomps.com coupon at any positive balance.
6. Private leagues & Head-to-Head
You may create or join private leagues with mates using an invite code or shared QR. League standings exist only between members and do not affect the global leaderboard. League membership and predictions on already-locked matches are visible to other members of the same league.
Within a private league you may issue Head-to-Head ("H2H") challenges of 1–3 league points on a single match. H2H stakes only ever move points on the relevant league's standings — the global leaderboard, site credit, and any prize allocations are unaffected. No real money or real-world value is staked at any point. Disputes about settlement or league activity are resolved at our sole discretion.
7. Coupons
Coupons are fixed-cart, single-use, individual-use, email-restricted to your account email, and expire 60 days after issue. Coupons cannot be sold, transferred, or combined with other offers unless explicitly stated.
8. Notifications
Push notifications (web and, where available, iOS) are opt-in and off by default. You can toggle them on or off at any time from Settings. Notifications cover prediction reminders, settlement results, H2H activity, league comebacks, reactions, pick-reveal moments and similar engagement nudges. Daily per-user caps apply.
9. User-generated content
Usernames and league names are visible to other players. Keep them clean — abusive, impersonating, or rights-infringing handles may be renamed or removed. Emoji reactions are limited to a fixed palette of six glyphs; no free-text commentary is collected. Any other on-platform messaging is disabled by design.
10. Disqualification
We may suspend or disqualify accounts for: multi-accounting, abusive referral behaviour, automated entry, or any breach of these terms. Decisions are final.
11. Liability
The Game is provided as-is. We are not liable for missed predictions due to user-side issues, third-party feed delays, or downtime. Settlement uses the canonical Statorium result; in the rare case of a feed mismatch, the match is held back for manual review.
12. Data
See our Privacy Policy for what we collect and why.
13. Changes
We may update these terms occasionally. Material changes will be announced via in-app notice or email. Continued play after a change constitutes acceptance.
14. Platforms & Sponsorship
The Game is free to enter; no purchase, payment, or in-app purchase is required to participate or win. No money is staked or wagered. All prizes are non-cash site credit redeemable at hotcomps.com, funded entirely from Hot Comps Ltd's promotional budget.
This Game is not sponsored, endorsed, administered by, or associated in any way with Apple Inc., Google LLC, or any other platform on which the app may be distributed. Apple and Google are not participants in the Game and have no involvement in its operation, judging, or prize fulfilment. The sole promoter is Hot Comps Ltd.
The PDC darts events on which predictions are based are administered by the Professional Darts Corporation. The Game is not affiliated with the PDC or any individual player or tournament sponsor.
