Terms of Use

Welcome to Amber.gg. These Terms of Use ("Terms") constitute a legally binding agreement between you ("User," "you," or "your") and PANDOR LAB, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company ("Pandor Lab," "Company," "we," "us," or "our"), governing your access to and use of the Amber.gg website, mobile applications, and all related services (collectively, the "Platform").

PLEASE READ THESE TERMS CAREFULLY. BY ACCESSING OR USING THE PLATFORM, YOU AGREE TO BE BOUND BY THESE TERMS. IF YOU DO NOT AGREE TO ALL OF THESE TERMS, DO NOT ACCESS OR USE THE PLATFORM.

IMPORTANT NOTICES:

• THESE TERMS CONTAIN A BINDING ARBITRATION CLAUSE AND CLASS ACTION WAIVER IN SECTION 15, WHICH AFFECT YOUR LEGAL RIGHTS. PLEASE READ THEM CAREFULLY.
• DEPOSITS MADE TO THE PLATFORM ARE NOT WITHDRAWABLE. ONLY WINNINGS FROM SKILL-BASED COMPETITIONS MAY BE WITHDRAWN, AS DESCRIBED IN SECTION 4.
• WITHDRAWALS AND GIFT-CARD REDEMPTIONS ARE SUBJECT TO IDENTITY VERIFICATION AND TO PUBLISHED LIMITS (SECTIONS 4.6 AND 5.3).

1. Acceptance of Terms

By creating an account, accessing, or using the Platform, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to be bound by these Terms, as well as our Privacy Policy, our AML & Sanctions Policy, our Deposits, Wallet & Cash-Out Policy, and the Restricted Jurisdictions List, each of which is incorporated herein by reference. We reserve the right to modify these Terms at any time in our sole discretion. Your continued use of the Platform after any such modifications constitutes your acceptance of the revised Terms.

2. Eligibility

2.1 Age Requirement

You must be at least eighteen (18) years of age, or the age of majority in your jurisdiction if higher, to create an account and to access or use the Platform. The Platform is not directed at, and may not be used by, persons under 18 — there is no under-18 access to the Platform, whether free or paid. We collect your date of birth at registration, and full identity verification (including age) is performed at the verification events described in Section 4.7. If we determine that a user is under 18, we will close the account and handle any funds as described in Section 4.7.

2.2 Geographic Restrictions

The Platform is not available to residents of, or persons located in:

• Countries, territories, or regions subject to comprehensive sanctions imposed by the United States, including but not limited to: Cuba, Iran, North Korea, Syria, the Crimea region of Ukraine, the Donetsk People's Republic, and the Luhansk People's Republic;
• Countries subject to sanctions imposed by the European Union or the United Nations Security Council, and jurisdictions subject to a Financial Action Task Force (FATF) call for action;
• Any jurisdiction where participation in skill-based competitions for real money prizes is prohibited or requires a licence not held by Amber.gg, including certain states within the United States and certain EU/EEA member states, as identified in the current Restricted Jurisdictions List, published at amber.gg/restricted-jurisdictions and updated from time to time. That list forms part of these Terms;
• Any jurisdiction from which we have determined, in our sole discretion, to restrict access.

Where a jurisdiction is restricted, you may (depending on the restriction) hold an account and take part in free competitions, but deposits, paid competition entries, withdrawals and redemptions are unavailable to you. Where the restriction is at account level, no account may be created or held.

You represent and warrant that:

• You are not located in, under the control of, or a national or resident of any restricted territory;
• You are not on any U.S. Government, EU, UN, or UK list of prohibited or restricted parties;
• Your participation complies with all laws applicable in your jurisdiction.

We screen users against applicable sanctions lists on an ongoing basis — not only at registration — and we use geolocation and IP-based controls, including VPN and proxy detection, to enforce these restrictions, as described in our AML & Sanctions Policy. We may suspend or close accounts, and block transactions, where screening or location signals indicate a restricted party or territory.

EU Users: Users in the European Economic Area (EEA) are subject to additional rights and protections under the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Please refer to our Privacy Policy for full details on how we collect, process, and store your personal data.

2.3 Account Restrictions

You may not use the Platform if you have been previously banned, suspended, or otherwise prohibited from using the Platform. You may only maintain one (1) account per person. Creating multiple accounts ("smurfing") is strictly prohibited and may result in immediate termination of all associated accounts. Where we identify multiple accounts operated by the same person, the limits in Sections 4.6 and 5.3 apply to the aggregate of those accounts.

3. Account Registration

3.1 Account Creation

To access certain features of the Platform, you must create an account. When registering, you agree to:

• Provide accurate, current, and complete information, including your date of birth;
• Maintain and promptly update your account information to keep it accurate, current, and complete;
• Maintain the security and confidentiality of your login credentials;
• Accept responsibility for all activities that occur under your account;
• Immediately notify us of any unauthorized use of your account at support@amber.gg.

3.2 Account Security

You are solely responsible for maintaining the confidentiality of your account credentials and for all activities that occur under your account. We are not liable for any loss or damage arising from your failure to protect your account credentials. We strongly recommend enabling all available security features, including two-factor authentication where available.

3.3 Third-Party Account Linking

The Platform may allow you to link third-party accounts (including but not limited to Discord, Twitch, and Riot Games). By linking such accounts, you authorize us to access certain information from those services in accordance with our Privacy Policy and the terms of those third-party services. You may unlink third-party accounts at any time via your account settings.

4. Wallet, Deposits and Withdrawals

4.1 Definitions

For the purposes of these Terms:

• "Deposit" means an amount of real currency you pay into the Platform through our payment processor.
• "Fiat Tokens" means fiat-denominated wallet credits (e.g., EUR or USD) issued to your Wallet upon a Deposit, at a rate of one Fiat Token per unit of currency deposited.
• "Winnings" means fiat-denominated amounts credited to your Wallet as prizes earned in paid skill-based competitions on the Platform.
• "Amber Tokens" (or "Amber") means the Platform's virtual currency, as defined in Section 5.
• "Wallet" means your Platform account balances, comprising three separately recorded sub-balances: Fiat Tokens, Winnings, and Amber Tokens.
• "Withdrawal" means a payout of Winnings from your Wallet to an external payment account held in your own name.
• "Redemption" means the use of Amber Tokens to obtain gift cards or marketplace items under Section 5.3.
• "Pre-Payout Review" means the review described in Section 4.6 that we complete before releasing any Withdrawal.

4.2 Deposits

Each Deposit is immediately converted into Fiat Tokens credited to your Wallet. Deposits and Fiat Tokens are not withdrawable, refundable, or redeemable for cash under any circumstances, except as required by applicable law or as provided in Section 4.9 (cancelled competitions) and Section 4.13 (errors). Your Wallet is a record of licensed platform credits; it is not a bank account, deposit account, payment account, or electronic money account, and no interest or other return accrues on any balance. We may set minimum and maximum Deposit limits and may refuse or reverse any Deposit for risk, compliance, or legal reasons.

4.3 Use of Fiat Tokens

Fiat Tokens may be used only to:

• (a) pay entry fees for paid competitions on the Platform; and
• (b) perform a one-way swap into Amber Tokens under Section 4.4.

Fiat Tokens have no use or value outside the Platform and cannot be transferred to any other user or third party.

4.4 One-Way Swap to Amber Tokens

You may convert Fiat Tokens (and, if you choose, Winnings) into Amber Tokens at the conversion rate displayed at the time of conversion. Each swap requires an explicit in-product confirmation. All swaps are final and irreversible: Amber Tokens can never be converted back into Fiat Tokens, Winnings, or any fiat currency. Before confirming a swap you acknowledge that you are converting withdrawable or competition-usable credit into virtual currency that has no monetary value and cannot be withdrawn (see Section 5).

4.5 Winnings

Winnings are credited to a withdrawable balance recorded separately from Fiat Tokens. Winnings are the only funds that may ever be withdrawn from the Platform. You may use Winnings to (a) request a Withdrawal under Section 4.6, (b) pay entry fees for paid competitions, or (c) perform a one-way swap into Amber Tokens under Section 4.4.

4.6 Withdrawals

Identity verification (KYC) is mandatory before any Withdrawal can be processed. Users who have not completed KYC verification will not be able to withdraw funds from the Platform.

Subject to successful identity verification and compliance with these Terms, eligible users may withdraw Winnings from their Wallet. Withdrawals are paid only to a payment account or instrument held in the name of the verified account holder; requests to pay a third party are refused. The following limits apply:

• Minimum: $30 per withdrawal request (or currency equivalent). This is a per-request minimum and is not a weekly allowance.
• Maximum: $400 per rolling 30-day period, and $2,000 per rolling 12-month period (or currency equivalent), per person. Where we identify multiple accounts operated by the same person, these limits apply to the aggregate (Section 2.3).
• We may lower these limits for an individual account on risk or compliance grounds, and may permit a documented exception above them only after enhanced due diligence and a source-of-funds review.

We further reserve the right to require additional verification before processing withdrawals; to delay or refuse withdrawals where we suspect fraud, cheating, collusion, or money laundering / terrorist financing concerns, in accordance with our AML & Sanctions Policy; and to deduct any amounts owed to us before processing withdrawals.

Pre-Payout Review and processing time. Withdrawal requests are processed within fourteen (14) business days. Before any Withdrawal is released, it undergoes a Pre-Payout Review comprising:

• (a) completed identity (KYC) verification under Section 4.7;
• (b) sanctions screening performed at the time of the request; and
• (c) a deep audit of the match and player statistics underlying the relevant Winnings — our competitive-integrity and anti-fraud review, covering collusion and win-trading signals, multi-accounting signals, anti-cheat findings, and consistency of results with your rank history.

Where that review identifies a concern, the Withdrawal is suspended pending investigation and you will be contacted at your registered email address. Deposits, Fiat Tokens, and Amber Tokens are never eligible for Withdrawal.

4.7 Identity Verification Events

In addition to the mandatory KYC before any Withdrawal (Section 4.6), we will require you to complete identity verification:

• (a) before your first Redemption of a gift card (of any value);
• (b) when your cumulative Deposits reach $2,000 (or currency equivalent), even if you have not requested a Withdrawal;
• (c) whenever required by our AML & Sanctions Policy, including in response to sanctions screening results, unusual activity, or other risk indicators.

Verification requires, at minimum, your full legal name, date of birth, nationality, a government-issued photo identification document (passport or national identity card), a proof of residential address dated within the last three (3) months, and a verified email address and phone number. We may request additional documentation where our AML & Sanctions Policy requires enhanced due diligence.

Until verification is completed, your account is restricted from the triggering activity. Accounts that fail to complete verification within thirty (30) days of a trigger are suspended from paid features.

We may request proof of age and identity at any time. If verification reveals that a user is under 18, we will close the account, void the user's competition entries, and return remaining Deposit-derived funds to the original payment method, subject to applicable law.

4.8 Payment Instruments; No Third-Party Funding

You may only fund your account using payment methods held in your own name. Funding an account with a third party's payment instrument, or funding another person's account, is prohibited and may result in suspension, reversal of the Deposit, and closure of the account. Where a name mismatch between the payment instrument and verified identity is detected at or after KYC, we may suspend the account pending review.

4.9 Cancelled or Incomplete Competitions

If we cancel a competition, or a competition cannot be completed for any reason, entry fees are automatically credited back to participants' Wallets in the same currency used to enter: entries paid in Fiat Tokens are re-credited as Fiat Tokens; entries paid in Winnings are re-credited as Winnings; entries paid in Amber Tokens are re-credited as Amber Tokens. This Section applies notwithstanding Sections 5.5 and 16.4.

4.10 Chargebacks and Payment Reversals

If you believe a charge is incorrect, contact support@amber.gg before disputing the charge with your card issuer or payment provider. Initiating a chargeback or payment reversal on a Deposit while retaining or having spent the corresponding Fiat Tokens, Amber Tokens, or competition entries is a material violation of these Terms. In the event of a chargeback or reversal, we may suspend the account, void corresponding entries and prizes, offset the reversed amount against any Wallet balance (including Winnings), and pursue recovery of any remaining amounts owed.

4.11 Dormant Balances

If your account is inactive for an extended period, we will notify you at your registered email address before applying any dormancy treatment. Unclaimed Winnings are handled in accordance with applicable unclaimed-property law. Winnings are never forfeited by reason of inactivity alone.

4.12 Taxes

Winnings may be taxable and/or reportable in your jurisdiction. You are solely responsible for any taxes on your Winnings. Where required by law, we may request tax information (including tax forms for U.S. persons) and may withhold or report amounts as legally required.

4.13 Errors

We may correct Wallet balances affected by technical or clerical errors (including mispriced swaps and mis-credited amounts). Where an error is ours and a balance is reduced, we will notify you and explain the correction.

5. Virtual Currency (Amber)

5.1 Nature of Virtual Currency

The Platform features a virtual currency known as "Amber" (also referred to as "Amber Tokens" or "virtual currency"). Amber is NOT real currency, is NOT redeemable for real money, and has NO monetary value outside the Platform. Amber represents a limited, non-exclusive, revocable license to use a digital item within the Platform only.

5.2 Acquisition of Amber

Amber may be obtained only through:

• Participation in competitions and ladders on the Platform;
• Promotional activities and rewards;
• Leaderboard achievements;
• A one-way swap from Fiat Tokens or Winnings under Section 4.4 (available only to verified-eligible users aged 18+ in permitted jurisdictions).

Amber cannot be purchased directly with real currency; the only way real currency relates to Amber is through the Deposit → Fiat Token → one-way swap flow described in Section 4.

5.3 Use of Amber; Redemption Limits

Amber Tokens may be used to:

• Pay entry fees to join Amber-denominated ladders and tournaments on the Platform;
• Redeem gift cards via the Amber.gg marketplace — limited to closed-loop, third-party-branded gift cards (for example, game or retail store cards). Open-loop prepaid cards (such as network-branded prepaid cards) and cash-equivalent instruments are never offered;
• Purchase other physical or digital rewards via the Amber.gg marketplace (including hardware, game keys, and other digital or physical items);
• Access platform features and content.

Amber Tokens cannot be converted to fiat currency, Fiat Tokens, or Winnings, cannot be withdrawn as cash, and cannot be transferred to any other user, in each case under any circumstances. We do not repurchase Amber Tokens, gift cards, or marketplace items for cash or platform credit, and items obtained through Redemption are not redeemable for cash from us.

Verification and limits. Gift-card Redemptions require completed identity verification (Section 4.7), of any value. Redemptions are capped at $400 per rolling 30-day period and $2,000 per rolling 12-month period (or currency equivalent), per person — the same limits that apply to Withdrawals under Section 4.6. Withdrawal capacity and Redemption capacity are counted separately and are not interchangeable: reaching the limit on one does not release capacity on the other. Where we identify multiple accounts operated by the same person, these limits apply to the aggregate (Section 2.3). We may lower these limits for an individual account on risk or compliance grounds. Redemptions are additionally subject to the monitoring described in our AML & Sanctions Policy, including a proportionality check between Amber redeemed and Amber earned through competitive play.

5.4 Relationship Between Amber and Winnings; Prize Currency Mapping

Amber Tokens are entirely distinct from Winnings. Earning or holding Amber Tokens does not entitle a user to any cash payment or Withdrawal. Prize currencies map to entry currencies as follows:

• Competitions entered with Fiat Tokens or Winnings may award Winnings and/or Amber Tokens, as disclosed per competition;
• Competitions entered with Amber Tokens award prizes exclusively in Amber Tokens or virtual items, and never award Winnings or any fiat amount;
• Free-to-enter competitions may award Amber Tokens or Winnings, as disclosed per competition.

5.5 Finality; Expiry

All swaps into Amber are final and non-reversible (Section 4.4), except as provided in Section 4.9 (cancelled competitions) or as required by applicable law. You acknowledge and agree that:

• Amber has no cash value and cannot be exchanged for real money;
• Amber cannot be transferred, sold, or traded outside the Platform;
• We may modify the swap rate under Section 4.4 prospectively at any time; the rate applicable to a swap is the rate displayed and confirmed at the time of that swap;
• Unused Amber expires only after twelve (12) consecutive months of account inactivity, and only after we have given you at least thirty (30) days' notice by email;
• Upon termination of your account for cause under Section 16.2, Amber in your account may be forfeited as described in Section 16.3. If you close your own account, you will be given thirty (30) days' notice to use remaining Amber before closure takes effect.

5.6 No Property Interest

You acknowledge that you have no ownership interest in any Amber or virtual items. Your acquisition of Amber constitutes a limited, non-exclusive, revocable, non-transferable license to use such digital content within the Platform, subject to these Terms.

6. Paid Services and Skill-Based Competitions

6.1 Age and Eligibility Verification

To participate in paid competitions or any feature involving real currency, you must:

• Be at least eighteen (18) years of age (Section 2.1);
• Not be located in a jurisdiction listed on the Restricted Jurisdictions List (Section 2.2).

We reserve the right to request proof of age and identity at any time and to suspend or terminate accounts that fail to provide satisfactory verification. The identity verification events in Section 4.7 apply.

6.2 Skill-Based Competitions

The Platform offers skill-based gaming competitions ("Ladders" and "Tournaments") in which users compete for prizes in matches they personally play — individually, or as part of a team they have voluntarily formed and registered (e.g., 5v5 tournament formats). Competitions are designed so that outcomes are determined by player skill:

• Results are computed exclusively from objective in-game data retrieved from official game publisher APIs (e.g., Riot Games for League of Legends and Valorant);
• Each competition's format and scoring rules are published before entry, are identical for all entrants, and are applied automatically and deterministically;
• Ladders score a sample of matches (from 5 up to 50, depending on competition duration), so that sustained performance — not any single game — determines results; Tournaments use published bracket formats (such as single elimination and best-of series) in which advancement and prizes are determined by match victories;
• In team formats, entrants select and register their own team before the competition; prizes are determined by the performance of the registered team in matches its members personally play, and are distributed as disclosed per competition;
• Competitions are segmented by in-game tier/rank range, so entrants compete against players of comparable skill;
• A dedicated competitive-integrity program (analytics-based anomaly and pattern detection) operates alongside the game publishers' own anti-cheat systems, and its outputs feed the Pre-Payout Review under Section 4.6.

By participating, you accept the risk of losing your entry fee, acknowledge that we do not guarantee any particular outcome or winnings, and agree to abide by all rules specific to each competition.

6.3 Nature of the Service

The Platform offers competitions of skill with pre-announced prize structures. It does not offer betting on third-party outcomes, games of chance, or play against the house. Paid entry is unavailable in jurisdictions where such competitions are prohibited or restricted (Section 2.2). You are responsible for ensuring that your participation complies with the laws of your jurisdiction.

6.4 Fees and Commissions

We may charge fees, commissions, or take a percentage of prize pools as compensation for providing the Platform. Such fees are disclosed prior to your participation in any competition. Entry fees may be paid in Fiat Tokens, Winnings, or Amber Tokens, as specified per competition (see Section 5.4 for prize currency mapping).

6.5 Payment Processing

All payments are processed through third-party payment partners — currently Tebex; any additional or successor payment partner is identified at checkout and in our Deposits, Wallet & Cash-Out Policy. Your use of these payment services is subject to their respective terms and conditions. We may share transaction and identity data with payment processors for fraud prevention, chargeback handling, and legal compliance, as described in our Privacy Policy. We are not responsible for errors, delays, or issues caused by third-party payment processors.

6.6 Competition Cancellation

Cancelled or incomplete competitions are handled under Section 4.9 (same-currency credit to your Wallet).

7. Premium Subscriptions

7.1 Subscription and Auto-Renewal

The Platform offers an optional premium subscription at the price displayed at sign-up (currently $9.99/month or $99.99/year). Subscriptions renew automatically each billing period until cancelled. The renewal price and billing date are displayed before you subscribe and in your account settings. For annual subscriptions, we send a renewal reminder by email before each renewal date.

7.2 Cancellation

You may cancel at any time in your account settings. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; you retain premium features until then. Except as provided in Section 7.4 or required by applicable law, amounts already billed are not refunded.

7.3 Price Changes

We will give you at least thirty (30) days' notice by email before any subscription price increase. The new price applies from your next renewal after the notice period; if you do not agree, cancel before that renewal.

7.4 EU/EEA and UK Consumers — Right of Withdrawal

If you are a consumer in the EU/EEA or UK, you have a fourteen (14) day right of withdrawal from your subscription purchase. By subscribing, you request immediate performance of the service. If you withdraw within 14 days, we will refund the amount paid less a pro-rated amount for the period already elapsed.

• Warning or temporary suspension;

• Forfeiture of Amber Tokens and virtual items;
• Forfeiture of Fiat Tokens or Winnings only to the extent they are the direct proceeds of fraud, cheating, match-fixing, collusion, chargeback abuse, or another material violation of these Terms;

15.1 Platform Role & Scope

Amber.gg operates as an intermediary platform that aggregates, parses, and ranks player performance data sourced from third-party game publisher APIs (including Riot Games). Amber.gg is not a party to any competition between users. Disputes between users regarding in-game conduct, cheating, or gameplay outcomes are governed by Section 15.2 below.

Amber.gg's liability is limited to matters within its direct control, including platform functionality, prize distribution, and performance data processing.

15.3 Binding Arbitration

You and Pandor Lab LLC ("Pandor Lab") agree that any dispute, claim, or controversy arising out of or relating to these Terms or the Platform (collectively, "Disputes") that cannot be resolved informally will be resolved exclusively through final and binding arbitration, rather than in court, except as set forth in Sections 15.7 and 15.12.

15.4 Arbitration Rules

Any arbitration will be conducted by the American Arbitration Association ("AAA") under its Consumer Arbitration Rules, as modified by this Section. The AAA Rules are available at www.adr.org. The arbitration will be conducted in the English language.

15.5 Arbitration Location

The arbitration will take place in Wilmington, Delaware, unless you and Pandor Lab agree to a different location or to conduct the arbitration by telephone, video conference, or based on written submissions.

15.6 Arbitrator Authority

The arbitrator will have exclusive authority to resolve all Disputes, including the scope and enforceability of this arbitration agreement. The arbitrator may award any relief that a court could award, subject to the limitations set forth in these Terms, including the limitation of liability provisions in Section 13.

The arbitrator may not award relief to anyone who is not a party to the arbitration, and may not hold Amber.gg liable for data inaccuracies originating from third-party game publishers or APIs beyond Amber.gg's reasonable control.

15.7 Exceptions to Arbitration

Notwithstanding the foregoing, the following claims are excluded from binding arbitration:

• Either party may seek injunctive or other equitable relief in any court of competent jurisdiction to prevent infringement, misappropriation, or violation of intellectual property rights;
• Claims within the jurisdiction of small claims court may be brought in such court;
• This arbitration agreement does not preclude you from bringing issues to the attention of federal, state, or local agencies.

15.8 Arbitration Fees

If the arbitrator finds that you cannot afford to pay AAA's filing, administrative, hearing, or other fees, Pandor Lab will pay them on your behalf. Otherwise, fees will be split in accordance with AAA Rules.

15.9 Class Action Waiver

YOU AND PANDOR LAB AGREE THAT EACH MAY BRING CLAIMS AGAINST THE OTHER ONLY IN AN INDIVIDUAL CAPACITY AND NOT AS A PLAINTIFF OR CLASS MEMBER IN ANY PURPORTED CLASS, COLLECTIVE, REPRESENTATIVE, OR PRIVATE ATTORNEY GENERAL ACTION.

Unless both you and Pandor Lab expressly agree otherwise, the arbitrator may not consolidate more than one person's claims and may not preside over any form of class, collective, or representative proceeding.
