MONEY MAN WEBSITE AND FUND RULES

1. Introduction

These rules (“these rules”) regulate your access, usage and participation in the Money Man SA Fund/s (“the Fund”) and the website known as www.moneymansa.co.za (“the Website”).

By accessing and using the Website and meeting the requirements to participate in the Fund, as provided for in these rules, you agree to be bound by these rules.

The Website is owned and managed by a natural person known as the Money Man SA (“Money Man”). The Fund is managed and controlled, entirely by Money Man and is not managed as a business, no profit is made from the Fund. The Money Man SA conducts the Fund management in his own spare time as a hobby, for fun. This is not what he does for a living, he is not a bookmaker, he does not take and place bets for anyone. Every bet he makes is entirely within his discretion and he does so using licensed sports betting websites.

The purpose of the Fund is to pool money into one fund (although there may be multiple funds running at the same time) by a number of participants who follow Money Man and his sports betting tips. Money Man is by no means a professional in betting on sports but he is passionate about it, hence the reason he does this in his spare time. This started as a means to help his followers understand sports betting better and has built up quite a keen and interested audience following 2 profit-making funds.

The more the Funds participation has grown the more Money Man needs to protect himself and his followers, so below is new rules which will regulate the Website and the Funds from now onwards.

4. Fund Disclosures

4.1  Money Man is a natural person who enjoys, as a hobby, placing sports bets using licensed sports betting websites within South Africa;
4.2  Money Man does not conduct any form of betting in his normal course of business, he has a full time corporate job and only manages the Fund in his spare time.
4.3  Money Man makes bets online with licensed sports betting companies, he does not accept bets from Participants. Money Man does not take any instruction or direction from any of the Participants during the Fund Term. Every bet placed by Money Man is entirely within his own discretion. For the sake of clarity it is recorded that every bet placed by Money Man, using the Fund is placed without any direction, instruction and/or control from a third party. Money Man decides when he will place a bet, if he will place a bet, what sport event he will place a bet on, exactly what the bet will be and how much money to place on any particular bet, for the duration of the Fund.

4.4  Obviously the very nature of sports betting relies on an uncertain outcome and as such the risk associated with the decisions Money Man makes when placing bets, is clear.
4.5  Money Man does not carry out any betting using the Fund for return, he merely carries out the fund betting as a hobby and to build his brand and educate his audience on sports betting.
4.6  Money Man encourages responsible sports betting.
4.7  Money Man does not induce and/or entice any person to participate in any form of gambling nor does he induce and/or entice any person to participate in the Fund.

By participating in the Fund you accept the risks associated with your participation which include the risk that any contribution you make to the fund may be lost and you will not be paid back any of your contribution.
4.9  Due to Money Man not conducting the Fund outside of his personal capacity, and not charging for fees associated with it, he conducts the fund using a bank account, in his own name and as such he cannot disclose any particulars thereof. It follows that all Participants are required to monitor the Fund and rely on the transparency into the Fund, as recorded on the Website, under the tab with the Funds name, for example “FUND 3” or “SUPER RUGBY FUND”.
4.10  Money Man will endeavor to provide accurate and up to date records of the Fund and its performance to enable Participants to follow the Funds performance.
4.11  Participants shall not be entitled to any interest earned on any amounts in the Fund.
4.12 On closing the Fund, on the termination date, the Money Man shall, publish the final balance in the Fund and Participants shall be paid out accordingly. An example of how the Fund is paid back to participants at termination is set out below:

If you elect to participate and pay R1 000 to the Fund and the Fund closes, on the termination date, with:

4.12.1  a 50% profit then you will be paid:
R500 plus your R1 000 contribution = R1 500;
4.12.2  negative growth, ie a 50% loss then you will be paid: -R500 plus your contribution of R1000 = R500.

5. Participation in the Fund
