■ Podium Chasers - Terms of use
What this site is
Podium Chasers is F1 analytics software: statistical ratings, race simulations, and model-versus-market comparisons, built for entertainment and information. It is a fan project with no affiliation to Formula 1, any team, driver, or market operator.
What this site is not
Nothing here is trading advice, financial advice, or a solicitation to trade. This site never accepts, places, or facilitates trades or positions of any kind, holds no funds, and pays no prizes. The only market operators referenced are regulated prediction-market exchanges (Polymarket and Kalshi); links to them open their own independent platforms, and what you do there is between you and them, under their terms and the laws that apply to you. Model outputs are probabilistic estimates and can be wrong.
Premium
The premium upgrade is a one-time $1 payment that permanently unlocks the full analytics dashboard for the purchasing account's email address. Payments are processed by Stripe; this site never sees or stores card details. The entitlement is permanent and tied to your email - if you ever lose access, contact us and it will be restored from the payment record. If you are unhappy with the purchase for any reason, email us and we will refund it.
Donations
Donations are voluntary thank-yous, processed by Stripe, and grant nothing beyond our gratitude.
Accounts and data
Accounts are email-plus-code only - no passwords exist anywhere in the system. We store your email address, your public username, your game results, and your premium status, and use them for nothing else. Your email is never displayed publicly and never shared.
