Terms of use

1. Who we are

MATCHX is a football card collecting and fantasy game. These terms are a contract between you and the operator of MATCHX. By creating an account you agree to them.

2. Eligibility

You must be 18 or over and live in the United Kingdom. One account per person. We may ask you to prove your age and identity, and we may close accounts that break these terms.

3. MX (MATCHX credits)

Your MATCHX balance is in pounds (£). You add to it by card in bundles (bigger bundles include bonus credit — the amount you get is shown before you pay). You can also earn credit from challenges, sets, promotions and selling cards.

Your balance is only for buying players and packs, bidding in auctions and entering matches. It can't be withdrawn, refunded, exchanged for cash or transferred to another account.

Your balance is spend-only credit: it is not a deposit account, e-money or an investment, and earns no interest.

4. Winnings

Some matches pay £ prizes, shown before you enter. Prizes go into your Winnings balance, which is separate from your spend-only balance.

Winnings can be withdrawn to a UK bank account in your own name (minimum £10) once withdrawals are available. We check your identity first.

5. Packs

Packs cost the price shown (for example £2.99, by card or from your balance). The odds for every pack are published on the Packs page and fixed for each pack version.

Pack contents are 100% random. Each slot is rolled by a cryptographically secure random number generator when the pack is opened, and the player is then drawn at random from every eligible card. Nobody at MATCHX selects, builds or adjusts the contents of any pack, and every draw is recorded so it can be audited.

What you get from a pack is random. Card values shown are estimates and can go down as well as up.

Free and starter packs are untradeable.

Cards issued before paid packs launch (from packs, MATCHX listings or auctions) are permanently untradeable. You keep them and can play with them, use them in sets and hand them in for challenges, but you can't sell them.

6. Transfers and auctions

You can list tradeable cards for £0.10–£100. When a card sells, we take a 5% fee from the seller. MATCHX also lists cards from circulation at fixed buy-now prices.

Offers and bids hold the money immediately. Held money is returned if an offer is declined, withdrawn or lapses, or if you are outbid.

A completed transfer is final. We may reverse transfers linked to fraud, mistakes or abuse.

7. Matches

Match points come from real-life player performance data. Results are final once a gameweek is settled, except for data corrections announced in-game. Entry fees and prizes are shown before you enter.

8. Your content and chat

Be respectful. No hate, harassment, scams, links or personal information. Moderators can remove messages and we may suspend accounts.

9. Closing your account

You can close your account at any time. We'll pay out any winnings after checks. Your spend-only balance and cards are lost on closure.

10. Liability

We provide MATCHX as is. Nothing in these terms limits liability that can't be limited by law.
