Age 18+ and responsible play

18+ only

HiMeet is for adults only: 18 or older, or the age of majority in your country if it is higher. This is mandatory for games with stakes.

Chess is a game of skill

HiMeet is a competitive chess platform where players compete with intellect, strategy and tactics. Chess has no dice, no cards and no hidden information: the result of a game comes from the moves the players choose. Rules for games with money differ from country to country, and you are responsible for following them where you live.

Why 18+

• In staked games, money moves from one player to another.
• You are responsible for your own crypto transactions.
• We follow the rules and keep minors away from games for money.

What you confirm

Before you play for stakes you tick the box “I am 18 or older”. By doing so you confirm that:

• you are at least 18 (or the age of majority where you live, if higher);
• you are legally able to enter binding agreements;
• playing for money and using cryptocurrency is allowed where you live;
• you play with your own money and understand the risk of losing.

How we handle age

We do not collect passports or ID documents. Stakes are held by a smart contract and the app has no accounts with identity documents. So the responsibility for stating your age is yours.

If we learn that a player is under the allowed age, we may restrict their access to the app. We cannot change games already recorded on the blockchain. Winnings and refunds are decided by the smart contract.

For parents

If you are a parent, please explain to your child that games for money are not for children, and do not give them access to your wallet. For plain chess without money there is a free mode: play against a bot or a friend with no stakes.

Play responsibly

• Only play with money you are ready to lose.
• Your result depends on your skill, but winning is not guaranteed.
• Do not chase losses and take breaks.
• If playing stops being fun, stop and talk to someone you trust or to a professional.
