Terms of Use

Last updated: August 12, 2026

These terms apply when you use jackpottalks.com. By using the site you accept them. If you do not, please stop using the site — there is nothing to cancel, since there are no accounts.

1. What we provide

Jackpot Talks offers free browser-based tools for making a random selection, and written guides about running draws and giveaways. Everything is provided free of charge, with no registration, no subscription and no paid tier.

2. This is not a gambling service

Jackpot Talks does not offer, host, facilitate or promote gambling, betting, wagering, lotteries requiring payment, or any real-money play. There is nothing to stake and nothing to win from us. The tools are neutral utilities that pick an item from a list.

You must not use this site as part of any activity that would constitute an illegal lottery or unlawful gambling in your jurisdiction — which, in many places, includes charging people for a chance to win. What is and is not lawful depends on where you and your participants are, and it is your responsibility to know.

3. Your promotion is yours

If you use a tool here to pick a winner, we are not a party to your promotion in any way. That means you are solely responsible for:

  • publishing accurate rules, eligibility criteria and dates;
  • complying with all applicable laws, including promotion, consumer-protection, tax and data-protection rules;
  • complying with the terms of any platform you run it on, such as Instagram, YouTube, TikTok or Twitch, which impose their own requirements on promotions;
  • collecting, storing and handling entrant data lawfully — we never receive it;
  • awarding, shipping and standing behind the prize.

We do not verify entries, adjudicate disputes, hold prizes, or act as an escrow or referee. If a participant disputes your draw, that is between you and them.

4. The tools are provided “as is”

We build the tools carefully and describe honestly how they work, but they are provided without warranties of any kind, express or implied, including implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. In particular we do not warrant that:

  • the site will be available without interruption or free of defects;
  • a result will suit your purpose, or that any particular distribution of outcomes will occur — genuine randomness means the same name can legitimately come up twice in a row;
  • a saved list will persist, since it lives in your browser's local storage and can be cleared by you, by your browser, or by your device.

Keep your own record of anything that matters. If a draw needs to be defensible later, follow the practice in proving your draw was fair rather than relying on this site to remember it for you.

5. The guides are information, not advice

Our articles are general editorial information. They are not legal, tax, financial or professional advice, and reading them creates no professional relationship. Promotion law varies by state and country and changes over time; platform policies change without notice. Figures we publish are estimates at the time of writing. Before you commit money or launch anything substantial, verify the current rules and, where the stakes justify it, take qualified advice.

6. Acceptable use

Please do not:

  • use automated means to hammer the site, scrape it wholesale, or otherwise interfere with its operation or security;
  • reproduce or republish our articles, in whole or in substantial part, without written permission;
  • present the site as endorsing, verifying, auditing or supervising your promotion, or imply any partnership with us;
  • use the tools in connection with anything unlawful, deceptive or harmful.

You may freely take screenshots or screen recordings of a result and publish them as part of announcing your own draw. A credit or link back is appreciated but not required.

7. Intellectual property

The text, design, layout, illustrations and source code of this site belong to us and are protected by copyright. The Jackpot Talks name and logo are ours. Nothing here transfers ownership of them to you.

Whatever you type into a tool remains entirely yours; we never receive it and claim no rights in it. Third-party names, platforms and trademarks mentioned in our guides belong to their respective owners and are referred to only descriptively — we are not affiliated with, endorsed by or sponsored by any of them.

8. Advertising and third-party links

The site is funded by advertising served by third-party networks, and our guides sometimes link to external sites. We do not control third-party content and are not responsible for it, including any advertised offer. Appearance of an ad is not an endorsement. How advertising cookies work is explained in our Privacy Policy.

9. Limitation of liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, we are not liable for any indirect, incidental, special, consequential or punitive damages, or for any loss of profits, revenue, data, goodwill or opportunity, arising out of your use of this site — including any dispute over a draw, any prize not awarded, and any claim by a participant in your promotion.

Where liability cannot be excluded, it is limited to the amount you paid us to use the site, which is zero. Some jurisdictions do not allow certain exclusions, in which case the exclusions apply only as far as their law permits, and nothing here limits liability for fraud or for anything else that cannot lawfully be limited.

10. Indemnity

You agree to indemnify us against claims, losses and reasonable costs arising from your promotion or your breach of these terms — for example, a claim brought by one of your entrants.

11. Changes and availability

We may update these terms; the date at the top will change and the current version always governs. We may also modify, suspend or discontinue any tool or the whole site at any time, without notice and without liability. Continuing to use the site after a change means you accept the updated terms.

12. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the jurisdiction in which the operator of this site is established, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules, and the courts of that jurisdiction have exclusive jurisdiction over any dispute. This does not deprive you of the protection of mandatory consumer-law rights available to you where you live.
