HostYourBrackets.com is NOT a gambling website. Winning a Bracket League will not result in any pay out from HostYourBrackets.com. We fully understand that the majority of office pools, Sports League Brackets, etc. are largely centered around the participants submitting a fee that makes up the prize pool which is, in turn paid out to the winners.

HostYourBrackets.com merely provides a way for your Bracket League to easily submit your Brackets online, calculate your Bracket Points, view your Bracket Leagues Leaderboard and keep historical records for your Bracket League all in one place. If your Bracket League members choose to make offline wagers on the outcome of the submitted Brackets, that is entirely up to them. HostYourBrackets.com is not responsible for any activity that does not occur on HostYourBrackets.com
