Eligibility & Access
Sharp.IQ is intended for users 17+ and for jurisdictions where access is permitted. This page summarizes the requirement, why it exists, and how Sharp.IQ confirms it. Nothing here is legal advice.
1. The 17+ Requirement
By using Sharp.IQ you confirm that you are at least 17 years old. If you are under 17, do not use the service.
2. Why
Sharp.IQ surfaces sports-betting-adjacent informational content. U.S. industry guidance — including FTC consumer-protection rules and the American Gaming Association’s responsible-marketing code — restricts marketing to minors. We follow that posture and target an adult audience accordingly.
3. How We Confirm
First-time visitors are asked to confirm they are 17+ via a banner near the top of the page. Confirmation is stored in a small eligibility-confirmation cookie on the device that confirms, so the banner doesn’t reappear on every visit.
4. If You Are Under 17
Please leave the site and do not return until you are of age. If you reached the site by mistake, you can clear your browser cookies to remove any state Sharp.IQ may have set.
5. Resources
- National Problem Gambling Helpline: 1-800-GAMBLER. Confidential, 24/7.
- National Council on Problem Gambling: ncpgambling.org.
Important
Sharp.IQ is informational analytics for adults. We do not market to minors. If you are under 17, please leave the site.
