Our Mission

At GamingTether, our mission is to provide a safe, fair, and trusted gaming marketplace where players can buy, sell, and trade game accounts, items, and services confidently.

This Code of Honor sets out the rules and expectations for all members of our community — buyers, sellers, and service providers alike. By using our platform, you agree to uphold these principles.

1. Integrity & Transparency

Honesty is the foundation of a trustworthy marketplace. All community members must:

  • Always provide truthful and accurate information in your listings
  • Do not use misleading titles, false claims, or deceptive pricing
  • Clearly disclose any limitations, risks, or conditions associated with your listings
  • Provide detailed and accurate descriptions of accounts, items, or services
  • Update listings promptly when information changes
Remember

Transparency builds trust. The more honest and detailed you are, the more likely you are to have successful transactions and positive reviews.

2. Respect & Professionalism

Our community thrives on mutual respect and professional conduct:

  • Treat others with courtesy, dignity, and fairness — whether in chat, reviews, or disputes
  • No harassment, hate speech, abusive language, or toxic behavior will be tolerated
  • Handle disagreements professionally, and allow our dispute system to mediate
  • Respect cultural differences and gaming preferences
  • Maintain professional communication in all interactions
  • Be patient and understanding with new users

3. Safe & Secure Trading

To ensure the safety and security of all transactions:

  • All trades must be conducted exclusively on GamingTether
  • Do not attempt to move deals outside of the platform (e.g., PayPal direct, WhatsApp, Discord payments)
  • Trading outside removes protection for both buyer and seller and will result in penalties
  • Use our built-in messaging system for all communications
  • Follow our recommended delivery procedures
  • Report any attempts to move transactions off-platform
Why On-Platform Trading Matters

Our platform provides buyer and seller protection, dispute resolution, secure payment processing, and fraud prevention. Trading outside the platform eliminates these protections.

4. Protection Against Fraud

We maintain a zero-tolerance policy against fraudulent activities:

  • Scams, chargebacks, and fraudulent claims are strictly forbidden
  • Sellers may only list accounts, items, or services they legitimately own and have the right to transfer
  • Buyers may not fraudulently reclaim accounts, issue false disputes, or exploit refunds
  • Do not create multiple accounts to manipulate ratings or circumvent restrictions
  • Report suspicious activities immediately to our support team
  • Provide verification documents when requested by our team

5. Security & Privacy

Protecting user privacy and maintaining security standards is crucial:

  • Respect the privacy of all users. Do not request or share personal data (phone numbers, home addresses, bank details)
  • Use strong passwords, enable two-factor authentication (2FA), and keep your login details secure
  • Never deliver accounts or items with hidden risks such as bans, locks, or unauthorized recovery options
  • Do not share account credentials publicly or with unauthorized parties
  • Immediately report any security breaches or suspicious account activity
  • Keep your contact information up to date for security notifications

6. Fair Competition

We promote healthy competition and fair market practices:

  • Compete honestly and without manipulation
  • No fake reviews, reputation farming, or coordinated attacks on other sellers
  • Listings should not exploit pricing glitches or misrepresent market value
  • Do not engage in price manipulation or anti-competitive practices
  • Respect intellectual property rights and licensing agreements
  • Support healthy market dynamics through fair pricing

7. No Cheating, Exploits, or Illegal Activity

We strictly prohibit any illegal or unethical activities:

  • Do not sell or promote hacks, cheats, exploits, or scripts that break game rules
  • Do not trade items/accounts obtained through illegal or unethical means (e.g., stolen accounts, botted resources)
  • Respect game developers' terms of service and intellectual property
  • No involvement in money laundering, fraud, or other illegal financial activities
  • Comply with local laws and regulations in your jurisdiction
Legal Cooperation

We will cooperate with developers, publishers, and law enforcement to combat fraud and illegality. Violations may result in account termination and legal action.

8. Commitment to Delivery

Reliable delivery is essential for marketplace success:

  • Sellers must deliver products/services as promised and within the agreed timeframe
  • Buyers must be ready to receive items/accounts and follow instructions for successful delivery
  • Failure to deliver on time or intentionally delaying delivery may result in penalties
  • Communicate proactively about any potential delays or issues
  • Provide clear delivery instructions and requirements
  • Confirm receipt and successful delivery promptly

9. Buyer & Seller Responsibilities

Sellers:

  • Ensure listings are accurate, products are delivered safely, and after-sale support is provided when necessary
  • Maintain inventory accuracy and update availability promptly
  • Respond to buyer inquiries in a timely manner
  • Provide clear instructions for account transfers or item delivery

Buyers:

  • Read listing details carefully, respect seller conditions, and only place orders you intend to complete
  • Ask questions before purchasing if anything is unclear
  • Follow delivery instructions provided by the seller
  • Leave honest and constructive feedback after transactions
Shared Responsibility

Both parties share responsibility for maintaining a smooth and fair transaction experience. Communication and cooperation are key to successful trades.

10. Community Trust

Trust is the foundation of our marketplace community:

  • Every member contributes to the safety and reputation of the marketplace
  • Violations of trust — even one — can damage confidence for all users
  • We may suspend or permanently ban accounts that harm the community
  • Build your reputation through consistent, honest, and reliable behavior
  • Support new community members and help them understand our standards
  • Report violations promptly to help maintain community standards

11. Dispute Resolution

When conflicts arise, we provide a fair and structured resolution process:

  • If conflicts arise, use our official support system instead of resorting to hostility
  • Provide all required evidence (screenshots, chat logs, transaction IDs) to support your case
  • Our support team will mediate fairly and issue a final decision
  • Cooperate fully with dispute investigations
  • Accept dispute resolutions gracefully and learn from the experience
  • Do not attempt to circumvent dispute decisions

12. Enforcement

Breaking this Code of Honor may result in:

  • Temporary or permanent account suspension
  • Loss of buyer/seller protection
  • Removal of listings and reviews
  • Forfeiture of payments or balances
  • Reporting to game publishers or law enforcement in severe cases
  • Restriction from certain platform features
  • Public warning notices on your profile
Progressive Enforcement

We believe in giving users opportunities to learn and improve. Minor violations may result in warnings, while serious violations will face immediate action.

  • Protect our users from scams, fraud, and abuse
