Terms of Service

By creating an account or using FakeTrade in any way, you agree to these Terms of Service, the Privacy Policy, and the Risk Disclaimer. If you do not agree, do not use FakeTrade.

FakeTrade is an educational simulator. You place orders using virtual money against live market price feeds. No real funds change hands. No order you place on FakeTrade ever reaches a real exchange. No position ever results in a real holding of any asset. There is no deposit, no withdrawal, and no custody of money or cryptocurrency.

FakeTrade is provided for skill-building, curiosity, and entertainment. It is not a brokerage. It is not regulated by the SEC, FINRA, ESMA, FCA, CFTC, or any other financial authority.

You can sign in via Google OAuth. By signing in you confirm that you are old enough to consent under the laws of your jurisdiction. You agree to:

• Maintain one account per person.
• Not use automation, scraping, or scripts against the simulator or the underlying data feeds beyond ordinary browser use.
• Not exploit bugs, race conditions, or pricing anomalies. If you discover one, please report it to contact@faketrade.fun.
• Not impersonate another person, harass other users on the leaderboard, or use the service for any unlawful purpose.

We may suspend or remove accounts that abuse the service, attempt to manipulate the leaderboard, or violate these terms.

Nothing on FakeTrade is financial, investment, tax, or legal advice. The simulator does not recommend any asset, strategy, or transaction. Any information you see -- prices, lists of assets, leaderboards, "hot" or "cold" markers, charts, statistics -- exists for the sole purpose of running the simulation, not as guidance for real-world decisions.

See the Risk Disclaimer for more detail.

Performance inside FakeTrade does not predict performance in real markets. Profits, losses, leaderboard rank, and ROI shown in the simulator are virtual. Past simulated performance does not indicate future results -- inside the simulator or outside it.

The FakeTrade name, logo, design, and code are ours. You may not copy or redistribute them without permission. Market data displayed in the simulator is licensed from third-party providers and remains their property; we surface it for the single purpose of operating the simulator.

FakeTrade is provided "as is". We make no warranty that it is bug-free, available without interruption, accurate, or fit for any particular purpose. To the maximum extent permitted by law, we are not liable for:

• Real-world losses, opportunity costs, or other damages from decisions you make based on simulator output.
• Errors or delays in market data feeds (Binance, Coinbase, Finnhub, Polygon, and other upstream providers).
• Outages of the platform, of Supabase, Vercel, Cloudflare, Google, or any other infrastructure provider we depend on.
• Loss of access to your account or virtual balances.

These Terms are governed by the laws of Poland, without regard to conflict-of-laws principles. Any dispute that cannot be resolved by writing to contact@faketrade.fun shall be brought before the competent courts of Poland. Nothing in this section limits your statutory rights as a consumer in your country of residence.

We may update these Terms from time to time. Material changes will be announced on the site. The "Effective date" at the top of this page reflects the latest version. Continued use of FakeTrade after a material change means you accept the updated Terms.

FakeTrade links out to services we do not operate -- exchanges, brokers, data providers, and other websites. Some of those links may be affiliate links: if you follow one and open an account, we may receive a commission from that provider, either as a one-off payment or as a share of the fees that provider charges you over time. You never pay more than you would by going to that provider directly.

Where a link is an affiliate link, we label it as one at the place it appears. EU consumer law requires commercial communication to be recognisable as commercial communication, and we would rather over-disclose than leave you guessing.

• An affiliate link is advertising, not a recommendation. It is not financial, investment, tax, or legal advice, and it does not mean the linked service is suitable for you. Section 4 applies to it exactly as it applies to everything else here.
• Nothing inside the simulator is for sale. We do not accept payment to list, rank, order, feature, or highlight any asset, market, or instrument. Market lists, leaderboards, and "hot" markers are generated from data.
• Third-party services are their responsibility, not ours. Once you leave FakeTrade you are using someone else's product under their terms and their privacy policy. Their fees, risks, account rules, support, and outages are not within our control. Section 7 applies.
• Availability depends on where you live. Third-party services are regulated locally. A provider we link to may be unavailable in your country, region, or state, or may offer only part of its range there. We do not verify your eligibility -- that is settled between you and the provider.

You are never required to use an affiliate link. No feature, balance, rank, or account capability on FakeTrade depends on whether you follow one.
