Play-money only
Ahead Markets operates entirely with Ahead Credits, a play-money unit with no monetary value. Credits cannot be purchased, redeemed, cashed out, transferred, or exchanged for anything of value. Nothing on the Service constitutes gambling, betting, wagering, a lottery, a security, a derivative, or a financial instrument of any kind.
Not financial advice
Market probabilities, prices, and any commentary on the Service are for entertainment and informational purposes only. They are not investment, financial, legal, or any other form of professional advice.
No affiliation with artists or platforms
Ahead Markets is an independent project. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by any artist, label, streaming service, chart provider, or event organizer mentioned on the Service. Artist names and images are used for identification and editorial purposes; image attributions are listed on the Image Credits page.
Source observation
Market resolutions rely on publicly available sources observed at the times disclosed on each market page. We do not continuously scrape any platform and comply with each source's public terms. Sources may change or become unavailable; markets may be voided when this happens.
Positive-market principle
Per the Positive Market Charter, Ahead Markets does not offer markets on death, illness, personal misfortune, or non-consensual private events.
