About TipView

What is TipView? TipView is the premier marketplace for buying and selling expert tips and insights. Our platform connects knowledgeable sellers with buyers seeking valuable information across sports betting, stock market analysis, cryptocurrency, fantasy sports, business, and more. Whether you're looking to monetize your expertise or find winning insights, TipView provides a trusted, secure environment for tip transactions.

How does TipView work? Sellers create tips containing their analysis, predictions, or insights and set a price (or offer them free). Buyers browse, search, and purchase tips that interest them. Sellers earn money, buyers get valuable information, and TipView facilitates the secure transaction.

For Buyers

How do I purchase tips?

  1. Create a free account or log in

  2. Browse tips by category or search for specific topics

  3. Click on a tip to view the preview and seller information

  4. Click "Unlock" or "Purchase" and complete payment

  5. Access your purchased tip immediately

What payment methods do you accept? We accept all major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover) through our secure payment processor, Stripe. Additional payment methods including iDEAL, Bancontact, and SEPA are available for European customers.

Can I get a refund? Refunds may be issued at TipView's discretion in cases where:

  • The tip content was not delivered

  • The content was substantially different from what was advertised

  • The seller engaged in fraudulent activity

Because tips contain informational content that cannot be "returned," we generally do not offer refunds simply because a prediction didn't come true. Tips are sold for their analysis and insight, not guaranteed outcomes. Please review seller track records and ratings before purchasing.

How do I follow a seller? Visit the seller's profile and click the "Follow" button. You'll see their new tips in your feed and can enable notifications to be alerted when they post.

Are tips guaranteed to be accurate? No. All tips on TipView are for informational and entertainment purposes only. Tips represent the seller's opinion, analysis, or prediction and do not guarantee any specific outcome. Past performance does not guarantee future results. Please tip responsibly and never wager more than you can afford to lose.

How do I verify my account? Go to Settings > Verification and follow the prompts to upload your government-issued ID. Verification is required for sellers and helps build trust with buyers.

Trust & Safety

How do I know if a seller is trustworthy? Look for:

  • Verified badge – Seller has completed identity verification

  • Track record – Historical win rates and performance (where applicable)

  • Ratings & reviews – Feedback from other buyers

  • Account age – How long they've been on the platform

  • Follower count – Community trust indicator

How do I report a user or tip? Click the three-dot menu (⋮) on any tip or user profile and select "Report." Choose the reason for your report and provide any additional details. Our team reviews all reports and takes appropriate action.

How do I block a user? Visit the user's profile, click the three-dot menu (⋮), and select "Block." Blocked users cannot see your profile, purchase your tips, or message you.

Is my payment information secure? Yes. All payments are processed through Stripe, a PCI-DSS Level 1 certified payment processor. TipView never stores your full credit card number on our servers.

Is my personal information protected? We take privacy seriously. Please review our Privacy Policy for complete details on how we collect, use, and protect your information.

Subscriptions & Following

What's the difference between following and subscribing?

  • Following is free – You'll see the seller's free tips in your feed

  • Subscribing (if offered by the seller) gives you access to exclusive subscriber-only content for a monthly fee

How do I cancel a subscription? Go to Settings > Subscriptions, find the subscription you want to cancel, and click "Cancel." Your access continues until the end of your current billing period.

Common Questions

Why can't I see a tip's content? The tip is either:

  • A paid tip you haven't purchased yet

  • Subscriber-only content requiring an active subscription

  • Content from a user you don't follow (if they have a private profile)

What happens if a seller deletes a tip I purchased? You retain access to any tips you've purchased, even if the seller later removes them from public view.

Can I message sellers? Yes, you can message sellers directly through TipView's messenger. Some sellers may require you to follow or subscribe before messaging.

Do tips expire? Tips remain accessible indefinitely unless removed by the seller. Time-sensitive tips (like game-day predictions) should be purchased before the relevant event.
