1.1. These Terms and Conditions (the “Terms”) govern your participation in the Pulse Predictions feature (the “Game”) provided by PULSE STACK LABS LIMITED (“we”, “us”, “our”, and the “Promoter”).
1.2. By accessing, registering for, or playing the Game, you (“you”, “your”, or the “Player”) agree to be bound by these Terms, our Privacy Policy, and any other applicable rules posted within the App or Website.
1.3. These Terms may be updated from time to time. Your continued participation in the Game constitutes acceptance of any changes.
2.1. No Purchase Necessary: The Game is 100% free-to-play. No purchase is necessary to enter or win. Purchasing items within the App (if applicable) does not increase your chances of winning.
2.2. Age: You must be at least 18 years of age (or the age of majority in your jurisdiction) to play.
2.3. Account: You must have a registered account with Formula Live Pulse to participate. You are responsible for maintaining the security of your account credentials.
2.4. Prohibited Jurisdictions: Residents of countries subject to international sanctions or where this Game is prohibited by law are not eligible to participate.
3.1. Prediction Window (Opening): Prediction markets for a specific Race Weekend will open exactly 24 hours prior to the scheduled start of the race weekend’s first official session.
3.2. Prediction Window (Closing):
Predictions must be submitted before the official start time of the first session.
Once the first session begins, all predictions are “Locked” and cannot be changed. We accept no responsibility for late submissions due to network latency or technical issues.
3.3. Modifications: You may edit your predictions an unlimited number of times between the opening of the window and the closing (Lock) time. Only the data saved at the moment of Locking will be used for scoring.
4.1. Point Values: The specific point value for each prediction is displayed on the prediction card within the UI.
4.2. Podium Logic: For predictions regarding Podium finishes:
Exact Match (10 Points): Awarded if the selected driver finishes in the exact position predicted.
Partial Match (5 Points): Awarded if the selected driver finishes on the podium (Top 3) but not in the position predicted.
4.3. Bonuses:
A “Bonus” is defined as a multiplier event. If a Player successfully predicts a designated “Bonus Question”, the total points earned by that Player for that specific Race Weekend will be doubled.
5.1. Official Data: The outcome of each prediction is determined solely based on the official data provided by our designated data provider at the moment the session concludes.
5.2. Finality of Results: Results are finalized based on the classification published immediately following the session. Any subsequent changes to the results, including but not limited to post-race disqualifications, time penalties applied by stewards after the podium ceremony, or successful appeals, shall be disregarded for the purposes of this Game. Your score is locked based on the situation at the finish line.
5.3. Non-Participating Drivers (DNS): In the event that a driver selected in a prediction does not participate in the relevant session for any reason (including but not limited to injury, illness, substitution by a reserve driver, technical failure, or disqualification prior to the session start), the prediction shall be deemed incorrect. No points will be awarded for selections involving drivers who do not start (DNS) or participate in the session. It is the Player’s responsibility to ensure that the selected driver is going to participate in the session before sending the predictions.
6.1. Claiming: Points are not automatically applied. Players must manually “Claim” their points via the App interface after a Race Weekend concludes.
6.2. Leaderboard Updates: The Global Leaderboard is updated automatically upon the successful “Claiming” of points.
7.1. Determining Winners:
1st Place: The Player with the highest total accumulation of points at the conclusion of the Season.
2nd Place: The Player with the second-highest total accumulation of points.
3rd Place: The Player with the third-highest total accumulation of points.
7.2. Tie-Breaker Rule (The “Speed” Rule):
In the event that two or more Players finish the season (or a specific round) with an identical number of points, the ranking will be determined by the timestamps of point claims. The Player who claimed their points earliest (according to our server logs) will be ranked higher. Speed of claiming is the deciding factor in all ties.
8.1. You may not use bots, scripts, automation software, or any third-party tools to submit predictions or claim points.
8.2. You may not operate multiple accounts to manipulate the leaderboard.
8.3. Any violation of this section will result in immediate disqualification and forfeiture of all points.

9.2. We are not responsible for any data inaccuracies provided by third-party sports data feeds.
9.3. To the extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your participation in the Game.
10.1. These Terms shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of Ireland.
10.2. Any disputes shall be subject to the exclusive jurisdiction of the Irish courts.
