What is Disintermediation?

Written by Mandycore the Manticore

What is Disintermediation?

Disintermediation means "cutting out the middle man." This happens when a player or host handles payments outside of the site for a game that is listed on our site.

In other words: if your game is listed on the site, all payments must go through the site. No exceptions.
​


Example of Disintermediation

A game is listed on the site. A player asks to pay via Venmo instead of through the site. The host accepts the Venmo payment.
​
This is disintermediation and a violation of the Terms of Service.
​


What does the Terms of Service say about Disintermediation?

The Terms of Service prohibits:

  • Requesting, making, or accepting payments outside of the site
    ​

  • Using outside payment services like PayPal, Venmo, or CashApp

This rule applies to any player who found you through the site - through the website, the GM Discord server, or any other site-related space.
​


What are the Consequences of Disintermediation?

Violating this policy will result in permanent removal of your account from the site.
​

To avoid this, always make sure payments for games listed on the site are processed through the platform.
