1. Skill-Based Gaming
ProfitChess is a skill-based platform. The outcome of every game is determined entirely by chess ability — there is no element of chance, luck, or random outcomes. There is no house edge and no random outcome — only skill determines who wins.
That said, we recognize that competitive gaming with real money can become absorbing. The guidelines below are designed to help you enjoy ProfitChess in a healthy and sustainable way.
2. Age Requirement
You must be 18 years of age or older to participate in paid games on ProfitChess. Age verification is required during onboarding. Creating an account on behalf of a minor is prohibited and will result in permanent account closure.
3. Know Your Limits
Before participating in paid matches, we encourage you to consider:
- Set a budget — Only play with money you can afford to lose. Only spend amounts you have budgeted for entertainment, not funds needed for essential expenses.
- Set time limits — Competitive gaming can be engaging. Set a daily or weekly time limit for yourself and stick to it.
- Don't chase losses — Losing games is a normal part of competitive play. Avoid the urge to immediately increase your stakes to recover losses.
- Take breaks — Regular breaks improve decision-making and keep the experience enjoyable.
4. Signs of Problematic Play
Consider taking a break or reaching out for support if you notice any of the following:
- You are spending more time or money on ProfitChess than intended
- You are neglecting responsibilities, relationships, or personal health
- You feel irritable or anxious when not playing
- You are using gaming as an escape from personal problems
- You are borrowing money to fund your gaming activity
- You are hiding your gaming activity from family or friends
5. Self-Exclusion & Account Controls
ProfitChess provides tools to help you manage your activity:
- Account closure — You can close your account at any time by contacting support. Unused balances are refundable upon closure.
- Support tickets — If you are experiencing issues related to compulsive play, contact our support team and we will work with you to restrict or close your account promptly.
To request account closure or self-exclusion: support@profitchess.com
6. Minors Protection
ProfitChess prohibits access to paid features for anyone under 18. If you believe a minor has accessed the platform, please contact us immediately at support@profitchess.com. We will investigate and take immediate action.
