Frequently asked questions
The questions we get most, answered plainly. For how a round actually works, see How it works.
Is RingSide free?
Yes. Signing up is free and needs no payment details. You start with a balance of virtual chips and can play right away.
Do I have to verify my identity (KYC)?
No. Because RingSide runs on play money with nothing to pay in or out, there is no identity check and no documents to upload. That may change only if real-money rounds are ever introduced.
What data do you collect, and can I delete it?
Only what the game needs, meaning your email, username and game history. There is no advertising tracking, and no cookies for it. You can download a full copy of your data and delete your account yourself at any time under Security in your account settings. See the privacy notice for details.
Do I need to install an app?
No. RingSide runs in any modern web browser and works on your phone, with nothing to download.
Is RingSide available in my country?
The play-money game is open everywhere. Real-money rounds are not live in any country yet. If that ever changes, it will be clearly announced and subject to local rules.
Can I play against friends?
Yes. Create a private round with an invite code and share the link. It is the simplest way to play a specific person or a group.
Is any of this financial or investment advice?
No. RingSide is a game of skill, not a financial service. Nothing on the platform is investment advice, and there is no real trading of assets.
