Terms of Service

These terms govern use of the player ledger, evidence tools, firm workspace, exports, and referral features.

01

The service

The Stoic Gambler provides recordkeeping, evidence organization, workflow, and export tools. It does not accept wagers, guarantee gambling results, prepare or file a tax return, provide legal representation, or perform an audit, review, compilation, or other attest engagement.

02

Age and eligibility

You must be 21 years of age or older to create an account or use the service. The service is a recordkeeping tool for adults who gamble legally where they play; it is not directed at minors and does not knowingly process their information.

03

Your account

You are responsible for accurate account information, safeguarding access credentials, authorized staff access, and activity performed through your account. Firm owners control firm membership; players control sharing of their records.

04

Records and outputs

You remain responsible for the completeness and accuracy of submitted records. Hashes, seals, preflight checks, and report labels document platform activity; they do not establish that an underlying statement is true or guarantee acceptance by a taxing authority, regulator, court, insurer, or adviser.

05

Professional judgment

Tax positions, licensing decisions, professional classifications, filing elections, and jurisdiction-specific conclusions must be made by the user and their qualified adviser. Firms must independently review exports before relying on them.

06

Acceptable use

Do not upload records you lack authority to process, misrepresent credentials, bypass access controls, alter another person's records, use the service unlawfully, or present platform output as a certification issued by The Stoic Gambler.

07

Creator and entity tools

The creator ledger, cost-allocation fields, S corporation comparison, business file, disclosure checker and face-blur tool are organizational and educational aids. Estimates use published rates and your inputs, exclude income tax and many other items, and are not tax, legal, payroll or accounting advice. Allocation percentages are your own representations. The disclosure checker is a pattern check, not legal review of advertising compliance. You are responsible for consent, privacy and filming rules for anyone who appears in your content. Entity elections and compensation decisions must be made with a qualified adviser.

08

Sessions, machines and casinos

A session groups your play at one casino, of one game type, on one calendar day, following the method described in IRS Notice 2015-21, which the IRS proposed and has not finalized. Balances carried between machines are recorded as moved money, and per-machine results are for your information only. The session total is the figure in your records. Casino and machine changes are detected from your photos and always confirmed by you. You are responsible for confirming the records are accurate and for how you report them. Consult your tax preparer.

09

Automated photo reading

When you photograph a ticket, meter, or receipt, a size-limited copy is processed by an automated reading service solely to fill in your record. We request and configure the reading service so that your images are used only to return the reading to you and are not used for advertising or sold; we are confirming the provider's written contract terms on model training and retention, and will update this section once confirmed. Recognized values are always shown for your confirmation before they become part of a sealed record.

10

Brand and intellectual property

The Stoic Gambler name, SG monogram, slogan, software, original artwork, written content, report designs, and related brand materials are proprietary. The ™ symbol identifies claimed trademarks and does not represent a federal registration. The ® symbol is not used unless a specific mark has received federal registration.

No right to reproduce, alter, register, license, or use these materials as a source identifier is granted except through written permission or the published brand-use terms. Third-party names and marks remain the property of their respective owners, and references do not imply affiliation or endorsement.

11

Availability and changes

Features may change to improve security, comply with law, or preserve the service. Material revisions receive a new version; continued use of affected firm features may require renewed acceptance.

Earlier acceptance records remain in immutable history. When this version changes, affected account owners are prompted to review and accept the replacement before continuing firm onboarding or inviting another client.
