How wagers and conduct work

Matches arranged between players are exactly that — between those players. BirdyBud does not hold, transfer, escrow or guarantee any money, and is not responsible for the financial handling or situational mishandling of a match unless BirdyBud set it up as a company-run event.
After every match both sides review their opponent. Reviews are anonymous and moderated before they go live.
Non-payment, cheating, no-shows or abusive behaviour get reported, removed from the rankings and, where warranted, pursued in court. Player misconduct is not permitted on or associated with BirdyBud.

Check your local laws — wagering on golf isn't legal everywhere. Play for the experience if you're unsure.
