Real money means real risk — the limits ChessBit applies, the breaks you can take, and where to find help.
Chess on ChessBit is skill, not chance — there's no house edge and no RNG working against you. But real money carries real risk: you can lose the funds you stake, and a better player will beat you. Play with money you can afford to lose, at stakes that keep it fun.
- 18+ only, everywhere. Age is checked at signup and again at verification; under-18 accounts are removed without exception.
- Staged limits. Your verification level caps deposits, withdrawals and stakes — see Verification levels. Stakes start at $1; nothing forces you higher.
- Escrow and fair play. Stakes are locked in escrow and every game runs under Argus, so the game you're risking money on is a real one.
Ask us for a cooldown or self-exclusion — no questions asked, no friction. Open a support ticket in-app, message us on Discord, or email support@chessbit.io, and we'll pause or close access for the period you choose. Our team will never talk you out of a break or hype you deeper into playing.
Some signs it's time: chasing losses, staking more to "win it back", hiding your play, or playing with money that had another job.
