How PlayerAdda maintains Fairplay?

We at PlayerAdda want to ensure a fair game for you every time you play with us. We highly value transparency, fairness, and integrity, which is further reflected in our Fairplay Policy and in all aspects of our online gaming services.

We retain the authority to exercise appropriate measures, as determined solely by us, to uphold this Policy with respect to all games conducted on the Platform. Therefore, we strongly advise Users to carefully review this Policy prior to participating in any game on the Platform.

1. TRANSPARENCY

a) Equal Opportunity

Our games ensure equal opportunities for all our users. The game rules and regulations apply to every player equally. We take every measure possible to avoid hacking or cheating on our platform. Deadlines are put in place for joining each tournament to ensure every user has an equal opportunity at the game.

All rules, odds, and game mechanics are made accessible to all users, ensuring transparency in the gaming process.

b) Playing Winning

It is important that our users know upfront what potential winnings they could take home if they win, when they sign up for a game. We want your experience on the games to be seamless and have taken the following steps to ensure you enter a tournament with full confidence:

• The scoring system used for calculating points is clearly illustrated and displayed for every new user being onboarded on our platform.
• The applicable play money for winners of each game is clearly mentioned. Any winnings/payouts are promptly processed and credited to the User’s account as per our Terms of Use and other applicable PlayerAdda policies.

Before withdrawing any winnings, depending on the amount and/or frequency of the withdrawal, a user may be required to verify the user’s identity, and account – e.g.: copies of PAN card & bank account and other required details. These details and documents are collected and verified as prescribed by respective law or by regulatory authorities either by us directly, or via a third-party service provider.
