Is Gambit free to download and register?
Yes, Gambit is free to download for mobile devices, and registering an account is also free. However, playing games on Gambit requires making a bet, which is enabled by depositing money into your wallet.
What is the process for verifying my identity on Gambit?
After registering an account, users must verify their identity using their ID documents. This process greatly enhances user safety, disincentivizes fraudulent behavior, ensures compliance with applicable regulations, and prevents users from registering multiple accounts.
How does the betting system work in Gambit?
When two players are matched against each other, their respective Elo ratings are used to calculate each player’s expected value for the game. This value is multiplied by the total stake to determine the stake contributed by each player. The winner is awarded the entire stake minus a fee of 5%. In the case of a draw, the stake is split 50-50, also after a fee of 5%. This system ensures that players are always given fair odds.
How does Gambit prevent cheating?
Cheating is prevented by our proprietary and state-of-the-art AI cheat-detection system. Cheaters will be banned to ensure a fair and enjoyable experience for all users.
Why must I verify my identity to use Gambit?
The process of identity verification enhances the security for our users, deters any harmful activities, and guarantees adherence to relevant laws and regulations. This also helps avoid the creation of multiple accounts by a single user. As a responsible company, we take every measure to ensure all our operations align with the legal requirements in each jurisdiction we serve.
