Terms

The rules for using brackethero.app, credits and the Bracket Pass. Last updated November 12, 2026.

Who we are

Bracket Hero (brackethero.app) is a d/b/a of Pulfer Family Ventures LLC, a Texas limited liability company ("Bracket Hero", "we", "us"). By using the site you agree to these terms. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

What the site is for

Bracket Hero is a research and entertainment tool for filling out NCAA tournament brackets. We don't run pools, take bets or hold anyone's money for a contest, and nothing here is betting, financial or professional advice. Ratings, odds, projections and simulations are estimates from a statistical model; they can be wrong, and real games often don't follow them.

Betting lines shown on the site come from sportsbooks through a data provider and are shown for information only. If you take part in a pool or place a bet anywhere, following the rules and laws where you live is up to you.

Your account

You can use most of the site without an account. If you create one (with Google or an emailed sign-in link), keep access to your email secure, since anyone who can open it can sign in. You can delete your account any time from My account. We may suspend or close accounts that abuse the site or these terms.

Credits

  • Credits unlock paid features, such as full simulator runs. Every new account gets free credits; you can buy more.
  • Credits have no cash value, can't be transferred, sold or exchanged for money, and can only be used on Bracket Hero. They don't expire while your account is open; deleting your account deletes them.
  • What a feature costs in credits is shown before you use it. We may change prices and costs for the future; that never changes what you already paid for.

The Bracket Pass

The Bracket Pass is a one-time purchase for one season. It includes 300 credits, premium stats and up to 50 saved brackets, and lasts through that season's national championship game. It doesn't renew and isn't a subscription.

Payments and refunds

Payments are processed by Stripe, which may act as the merchant of record and collect any sales tax. Prices include any sales tax. All purchases are final and non-refundable, except where the law requires a refund or we choose to make one.

If a payment is refunded or reversed (for example, by a chargeback), we remove what it bought: its credits, and the Bracket Pass if it was one. That can leave your credit balance below zero.

Using the site fairly

  • Don't scrape, copy or resell the site's data or pages, or access it with bots beyond normal browsing.
  • Don't try to break, overload or get around the site's security, limits or payments.
  • Don't use the site for anything illegal.

Content and trademarks

The site's design, text, model and software belong to us. Statistics, schedules and lines come from our data providers and remain theirs. Bracket Hero is not affiliated with or endorsed by the NCAA or any school or conference; team names are used only to identify the teams, and March Madness and Final Four are trademarks of the NCAA.

No warranty

The site is provided as is. We work to keep it accurate and running, but we don't promise that it will be error-free, always available or right about any game.

Limits on our liability

To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, including anything won or lost in a pool or a bet, and our total liability for any claim is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before it arose.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms; the date at the top says when they last changed, and continuing to use the site means you accept the update. These terms are governed by the laws of Texas. Questions: support@brackethero.app. Our Privacy Policy explains what we store.
