Terms of Service

These terms are an agreement between you and GameBeast ("GameBeast", "we", "us"). By creating an account, playing, entering a tournament or sponsoring one, you agree to them and to our Privacy Policy. If you don't agree, don't use GameBeast.

Each tournament also has its own official rules, linked from the tournament page. Where a tournament's rules differ from these terms, the tournament's rules apply to that tournament.

• You must be at least 18, or older if a tournament says so.
• Each tournament lists the countries it's open to. Your phone number, your location when you enter, and the country on your ID must all be in that list.
• GameBeast isn't available in countries under comprehensive sanctions, or to people on sanctions lists.
• One account per person. Accounts are personal: don't share, sell or transfer yours.
• A sponsor, and anyone working for or with a sponsor on a tournament, can't enter that tournament.
• It's your responsibility to make sure taking part is legal where you live.

You sign in with a phone number we verify by a one-time code. You give us an email address for match and prize updates. Keep both up to date, and keep your phone secure: anyone who can receive your codes can use your account.

Display names are public. Don't use a name that impersonates someone, is offensive, or advertises something. We may change a name that breaks this rule.

Entering a tournament is always free. No purchase or payment is needed to enter or to win, and paying for anything never improves your chances. Prizes are paid for by sponsors.

Results depend on skill: everyone in a match plays the same seeded challenge, and scores are calculated on our servers from your inputs. Who plays whom is drawn from public randomness that anyone can check. See How fairness works.

• Each tournament shows its schedule, format, prize split, eligible countries and entry limit before you enter.
• You must check in and play your matches in the windows shown. A match you miss counts as not played.
• Connection problems on your side are your responsibility. If something on our side stops a match from running properly, we may replay, void or rescore it.
• A tournament can be cancelled if it doesn't reach its minimum entries, or if we can't run it fairly. If it's cancelled, no prizes are paid and the sponsor is refunded.
• Results become final after the dispute window closes and any disputes are decided.

You must play every match yourself, as yourself. You must not:

• use bots, scripts, macros, emulators, modified clients or any tool that plays or assists for you;
• hold more than one account, or play on someone else's;
• collude with other players, share challenges or answers, or deliberately lose;
• exploit bugs, interfere with the service, or hide your location to get around country limits;
• harass other players or sponsors.

We check play automatically and by hand. Your timestamped inputs are kept and published with the results so anyone can check them. If we find a breach we may void scores, disqualify you, hold or cancel prizes, and suspend or close your account. We tell you why, and you can appeal from your account page.

If you think a result is wrong, you can raise a dispute within 72 hours of the match. Our decision after review is final for that tournament.

• Prizes are set in US dollars and paid in USDT or USDC, at the exchange rate when the payout is sent.
• Before we pay a prize, you must pass an identity check with our verification partner. The name on your ID must match, you must meet the age limit, and the country on your ID must be eligible for the tournament.
• You give us a USDT or USDC address you own and choose its network. Check it carefully: crypto sent to a wrong address or on the wrong network can't be recovered, and we aren't responsible for losses caused by an address you gave us.
• We pay the payment provider's payout fee, so the full prize is sent. Your wallet or exchange may charge its own fee to receive or move it.
• Every payout is reviewed by our team before it's sent. A newly added or changed address must wait 24 hours before it can receive a prize.
• You must claim your prize within the claim window shown on the tournament (at least 30 days). After that, an unclaimed prize goes back to the sponsor or to the next eligible finisher, as the tournament's rules say.
• We may hold a prize while we look into fraud, a fair-play breach, a dispute, or a legal or sanctions concern, and we may refuse it if the concern is confirmed.
• Prizes can't be transferred or swapped. You're responsible for any taxes on your winnings.

Any account holder can sponsor a tournament. If you sponsor:

• You pay the full prize pool before registration opens, plus our platform fee (shown before you pay, lower for repeat sponsors) and a payment processing fee. Payments are handled by our payment provider, Bachs.
• Once a tournament opens, the prize money is committed to the players. You can't withdraw it.
• If the tournament is cancelled before prizes are paid, you're refunded the full amount you paid.
• Prizes that go unclaimed or are refused are refunded to you after the tournament ends. The platform fee is not refunded in that case.
• Refunds go back to the original payment method. Crypto payments are refunded to an address you give us on the same network.
• Your name, logo, link and description must be yours to use, accurate, and lawful. We don't allow gambling, betting, lending, adult content, or links that hide where they go. We review sponsor content and may refuse or remove it.
• You allow us to show your brand on the tournament, its results and its share images, during and after the tournament.
• Starting a chargeback or payment dispute on a funded tournament may lead us to cancel the tournament and suspend your sponsor access.

Practice games, duels, the Daily Challenge, ladders, streaks and seasons are for fun and bragging rights. Their points and badges have no cash value and can't be exchanged for anything, unless a tournament's rules say otherwise.

GameBeast, its games, artwork and software belong to us or our licensors. You may use them to play and to share your results. Don't copy, resell, scrape or reverse engineer the service, or use it to build a competing one.

You can delete your account at any time from your account page, unless a prize payout is in progress or your account is under review. We may suspend or close accounts that break these terms or the law, or to protect other players. If we close your account for a reason that isn't your fault, we'll still pay any prize you'd already won and verified.

We work to keep GameBeast running and fair, but we provide it "as is". We don't promise it will always be available or free of errors, and we may change or stop features.

To the extent the law allows, we aren't liable for indirect or consequential losses, or for losses caused by your device, your connection, third-party services, or crypto networks. Our total liability to you for any claim is limited to the prize money you were owed for the tournament in question, or US$100 if no prize is involved. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer protection law that can't be limited.

We may update these terms. If a change matters, we'll tell you by email or in the app before it takes effect. Changes don't apply to a tournament that has already opened for entries. If you keep using GameBeast after a change, you accept it.

These terms are governed by the laws of the Federal Republic of Nigeria. Please contact us first so we can try to resolve any problem. If we can't, the courts of the Federal Republic of Nigeria have jurisdiction, unless the law where you live gives you the right to bring a claim there.
