Terms of use
By using TapeDog you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use the site.
What TapeDog is
TapeDog is a free college football predictions website and iPhone app, for entertainment and information. Scores, odds, ratings, rankings, weather, posts and other data come from third parties and may be delayed, incomplete or wrong. Tape Scores, upset chances and picks are our own predictions: opinions, not guarantees.
Predictions, not gambling
TapeDog is a predictions product, not a gambling service. Nothing on TapeDog is betting, financial or legal advice. TapeDog does not take bets, offer prizes, operate a sportsbook or prediction market, link to them, or get paid by them. TapeDog is not responsible for any gambling losses, debts or gambling-related problems, whether or not they relate to something you saw on TapeDog. Sportsbooks and prediction markets are not legal or available everywhere; if you choose to use them, you are responsible for being of legal age and following the laws where you live. If gambling stops being fun, call 1-800-GAMBLER.
Live scores and the Score Tracker
Live information can lag, pause or be corrected after the fact. The delay setting is a convenience and may not match your broadcast exactly. Don't rely on TapeDog for anything time-sensitive.
Markets about people
Odds about coaches, players and awards (for example the Hot seat and Heisman tabs) are prices from prediction markets. They are not reporting, rumors or statements of fact about anyone.
AI breakdowns
AI breakdowns are generated automatically from the data on each game page and can contain mistakes. Treat them as commentary.
Third-party content
Team names, logos, highlight videos and news belong to their owners. Videos play from ESPN and link back to it. Posts in The Buzz belong to their authors and link back to them. TapeDog is not affiliated with or endorsed by ESPN, the NCAA, any school or conference, any sportsbook, Kalshi, Polymarket, Bluesky or Google. If you own content shown here and want it removed or credited differently, contact us at our team page and we will act promptly.
Sharing
You're welcome to share links to TapeDog pages and Reels. Please don't copy or redistribute the underlying videos or logos.
Your data and picks
Profiles, picks, saved games, followed teams and Reels history are stored only in your browser. Clearing your browser data, or using the erase button on the Privacy page, removes them. Picks are for fun and have no cash value.
The iPhone app
These terms cover the TapeDog iPhone app too. The app is free, is for entertainment and information only, and is rated 17+ because it shows betting lines and prediction-market prices. Picks, streaks and badges are just for fun: there is no money, prize or wager involved, and nothing in the app can be used to place a bet. Alerts and Lock Screen scores can be delayed or wrong; don't rely on them for anything important. Your use of the app is also subject to Apple's App Store terms.
Age
TapeDog is meant for adults. You must be at least 18 to use the site or the iPhone app. Showing betting lines and prediction-market prices is not an offer or invitation to gamble: sports betting is only legal for people of legal age (usually 21) in places where it's allowed, and that is between you and any operator you choose.
You use TapeDog at your own risk
You are solely responsible for any decision you make, including any wager or trade, whether or not it relates to something you saw on TapeDog. Upset chances, TAPE scores, track records, picks and AI briefs are opinions and estimates based on past data. Past results do not predict future results.
Acceptable use
Don't overload, scrape at scale, attack or try to break the site, or use it for anything unlawful.
No warranty and limits on liability
TapeDog is provided as is and as available, without warranties of any kind. To the fullest extent allowed by law, TapeDog and its team are not liable for any loss arising from use of the site, including any wagering decisions.
Liability cap
To the fullest extent allowed by law, TapeDog and its team are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any lost money, profits, data or opportunities, and our total liability for any claim relating to TapeDog will not exceed $50. Some places don't allow these limits, so they may not apply to you.
Indemnity
If you use TapeDog in a way that breaks these terms or the law and someone brings a claim against us because of it, you agree to cover the resulting costs, including reasonable legal fees.
Apple
If you use the iPhone app, these terms are between you and TapeDog, not Apple. Apple is not responsible for the app or its content, has no obligation to provide support for it, and is a third-party beneficiary of these terms with the right to enforce them against you.
If part of these terms doesn't apply
If a court finds any part of these terms unenforceable, the rest still applies.
Changes
We may update these terms as the site changes. The date at the top shows the latest version, and continuing to use TapeDog means you accept it.
