Legal Notice

Last updated: 13 June 2026

This Legal Notice governs use of Furlongform (the “Site”), published at horseracingbetbasics.com. By accessing or using the Site you accept this Legal Notice. If you do not accept it, do not use the Site.

About the Site

Furlongform is an editorial publication addressed to adult readers in the United Kingdom aged 18 and over. The Site publishes informational guides on UK horse racing betting basics, including odds, bet types, racecard reading, the regulatory frame and responsible-gambling resources. The Site is not a betting operator, is not licensed by the UK Gambling Commission as a gambling operator and does not accept stakes, hold customer funds, settle bets or offer any gambling product. References to operators, festivals or industry bodies in editorial content are descriptive and are not endorsements.

No advice

Content on the Site is published for general information only and does not constitute financial, legal, tax, investment or betting advice. Nothing on the Site is a recommendation to place a bet, to use a particular operator or to adopt a particular strategy. Decisions about whether, how and at what stake to bet are the sole responsibility of the reader. Where a specific question requires advice, readers should consult a qualified professional or the relevant regulator.

Accuracy and currency

The editorial team takes reasonable care to ensure that figures, dates and statements published on the Site are accurate at the time of publication or last update. Regulation, licensing, fixture lists and statistical figures change over time. The Site is not under any obligation to update any particular guide at any particular cadence. Readers should treat figures and regulatory information as a starting point and verify any decision-critical detail against the relevant primary source, including the UK Gambling Commission, the British Horseracing Authority and the Horserace Betting Levy Board.

Intellectual property

All editorial text, structure, design, illustrations, photographs and other original material on the Site, together with the Furlongform name and word-mark, are protected by copyright and other intellectual-property rights. All rights are reserved. Personal, non-commercial use is permitted, including printing or downloading individual pages for private reference. Commercial use, systematic copying, republication, redistribution, scraping, framing and use of Site material for training machine-learning systems are not permitted without prior written consent of the editorial team.

Quoted statements attributed to named individuals or organisations remain the property of their original speakers and publishers and are reproduced for editorial commentary under the fair-dealing provisions of UK copyright law. Names of regulators, governing bodies, racecourses and races are used in a descriptive sense; no association with or endorsement by those bodies is claimed.

Third-party links

The Site contains links to third-party websites operated by regulators, industry bodies and responsible-gambling services. These links are provided as a convenience to readers and do not imply endorsement of the content, products or services of the linked site. The editorial team has no control over third-party sites, does not monitor their content and accepts no responsibility for their availability or for any loss arising from their use.

Disclaimer of liability

The Site is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis. To the fullest extent permitted by law, the editorial team excludes all representations, warranties and conditions of any kind, whether express or implied, including any implied warranty of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose or non-infringement. Without limiting the generality of the previous sentence, the editorial team does not warrant that the Site will be uninterrupted, error-free or free of viruses or other harmful components.

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the editorial team is not liable for any loss or damage, whether in contract, tort, including negligence, breach of statutory duty or otherwise, arising out of or in connection with use of the Site, reliance on its content or inability to access it. This exclusion does not limit or exclude any liability that cannot be limited or excluded under English law, including liability for death or personal injury caused by negligence and liability for fraud or fraudulent misrepresentation.

Responsible gambling

Betting carries real financial risk. Adults should bet only with funds they can afford to lose and only with operators licensed by the UK Gambling Commission. If gambling has stopped being recreational, support is available 24 hours a day through the National Gambling Helpline, GamCare and BeGambleAware, and self-exclusion across all UKGC-licensed sites can be set up through GAMSTOP. Direct links to these services appear in the footer of every Furlongform page.

Changes

The editorial team may update this Legal Notice from time to time. The current version is always published at this URL with the most recent update date shown at the top of the page. Continued use of the Site after a change indicates acceptance of the revised Legal Notice.

Governing law

This Legal Notice and any dispute or claim arising out of or in connection with it or its subject matter are governed by and construed in accordance with the law of England and Wales. The courts of England and Wales have exclusive jurisdiction to settle any such dispute or claim, subject to any non-excludable rights you may have as a consumer in your country of residence.
