Will other groups steal my players?
No, and here’s why!
A common concern we hear is: “What if another group competes with mine? Will they steal my players?”
To address this, we’ve implemented several features to limit intergroup spam and cross-promotion. These controls are continuously improving to enhance privacy and security.
Front-End Protections
Players who join through your invite will only see your group’s events by default under the My Events tab.
Group members can be hidden.
Attendee lists for public events can be hidden.
The local players list has been removed.
Four event chat modes are available: Public, Attendees Only, Attendees + Waitlisted Users, and Disabled.
Back-End Protections
We’ve also introduced backend limits to prevent unwanted contact between groups:
Organizers have a quota for interacting with non-group members. If exceeded, further interactions are blocked, and we receive a notification.
Event organizers cannot invite large numbers of players outside their group due to internal quotas.
Messaging limits prevent excessive outreach to non-group members. If a user reaches the limit, we are notified and can take action.
Additional Tools
- Embed our event widget on your website to keep player activity within your group.
