How ChessBit's early access works — the waitlist, invite links, the Founding Member badge, and when launch happens.

Where ChessBit Is Right Now
ChessBit is in early access: a small group of players is on the platform while we finish building toward public launch. The way in is the waitlist at chessbit.io — free, takes under a minute, and just needs a verified email.
How the Waitlist Works
Join with your email and confirm it via the verification link (links expire after 48 hours — you can re-send).
Some invite links are capped — a link can fill up or be deactivated, in which case joining through the public form still works whenever it's open.
Early access spots are granted in waves, at our discretion — position is not a queue number promise.
The Founding Member Badge
Waitlist members can claim the permanent ⭐ Founding Member badge on our Discord:
Join the Discord and open #become-a-founder.
Click ⭐ Get my code, enter your waitlist email, and we email you a 6-digit code (valid 10 minutes).
Enter the code — the badge is yours, permanently.
Founding Members lock in launch perks — a permanent loyalty boost, first access to freerolls, and a direct line to the team. The badge window closes at launch.
When Is Launch?
We don't announce a launch date until it is locked. When it locks, it lands on Discord and X first, and the banner on chessbit.io always reflects where we actually are. Anyone claiming to know a date — or selling access — isn't us.
Waitlist spots and invite codes are free and non-transferable. Never pay anyone for "access" — and ChessBit staff will never DM you first asking for money or codes.
