Graded Copy

The author, and the limits

Who writes this, and what the site will not say

Graded Copy covers 11 operators and reads one kind of source on each of them: the document the operator publishes itself. The name comes from what a betting site actually does to a wager — it grades it against a published rule — and from what this site does to a claim.

About Marek Sowiński

Marek Sowiński writes this site and reads one kind of source on each of the 11 operators covered here: the document the operator publishes itself. Terms of service, betting rules, the settlement clauses for each discipline, the privacy and responsible-gaming pages, and where one exists, the licence register entry. Every figure carries the clause it came from and the date it was read.

A number read in a register is labelled differently from a number printed in an operator’s own terms, because the two are different kinds of evidence and the difference decides what a reader may conclude. Where a document stayed shut to the machine this site is checked on, the field stays empty and says so in words.

Marek stands outside the commercial relationship on all eleven operators here: the accounts, the deposits and the payouts described on this site belong to other people, and reach this site as published text.

Why settlement rules, of all things

Most pages about a betting operator answer the same four questions: is it safe, how fast does it pay, what is the bonus, and is it legal where I live. Those questions matter and they are answered here.

But the thing that decides whether a specific wager pays is none of them. It is the rule the operator wrote down about what happens when a team fields stand-ins, when a player disconnects after the first map, when a broadcast feed drops, when a match is walked over. The subject of this site publishes those rules in detail — separate sets for CS2, League of Legends, Dota 2, VALORANT, Overwatch, Rainbow Six, Mobile Legends: Bang Bang and League of Legends: Wild Rift, plus fifteen sports.

An audit of the three pages ranking for this site’s own head term on 2 September 2026 found none of them mentioning any of it.

That gap is the reason this site exists in the form it does. A rule you can open and read is worth more than a promise, because it settles a dispute without a conversation.

What this site will not say

It will not say that anything was tested, withdrawn or played here. It will not print a figure without the clause it came from. It will not fill an empty cell from a comparison page. It will not tell anyone how to get around an operator’s territorial rules, in any framing, including a framing that advises against it. It will not give a legal opinion about the law where you live.

And it will not print a score out of ten, for the reason set out in full on how this site reads.

Corrections

If a figure here disagrees with what an operator prints today, the operator is right and this page is stale. Operators edit their terms without notice, and every date on this site is the date a document was read rather than a promise about the document today.

Questions people actually type

Why is the site called Graded Copy?
Because grading is the thing a betting operator does that nobody writes about. A wager is not won or lost by itself: it is graded against a published rule, and the outcome belongs to a small closed set — stands, cancelled, refunded, still open. The subject of this site publishes 32,099 characters of those rules across eight esports titles and fifteen sports. The second half of the name is the copy: what this site holds is a copy of a document, read on a stated date, not the document itself.
Does the author hold accounts with the operators covered?
No. Marek holds no account with any operator named here, places no bets and makes no withdrawals. Nothing on this site describes an experience; everything on it describes a document.
How is this site paid for?
Links to it are marked as sponsored and pass through a path excluded from this site's sitemap and disallowed in its robots file. No other operator here is linked to at all.
