Why verification?

In the past, we tried several solutions to reduce the problem of smurfing in matches. Some solutions included: verifying players by SMS, implementing a paywall, Steam hours account requirement, numerous changes to our matchmaking algorithm and many more.

While they helped reduce the problem, they were only partially effective and couldn't stop smurfing and multi-account abuse in your matches. Due to the increasing demand from players to address trust issues directly, we developed a radical solution—a free opt-in ID verification, an unmatched layer of security to build a more trusted community.

VERIFY YOURSELF

Choose how to verify your account through either Document capture or Face capture (coming soon).

The choice is yours. Both options are encrypted, secure, and take just a few moments to complete. All you'll need is your smartphone and original documentation (if you choose Document capture).

Face Capture (coming soon) will require regular rechecks to maintain verified integrity.
