LEGAL & TOURNAMENT COMPLIANCE • LAST UPDATED OCTOBER 2026

Terms of Service & Tournament Fair Play Policy

Please read these Terms of Service carefully before participating in tournaments or hosting competitions on CLUTCH ARENA. By registering an account, connecting your Riot ID, or integrating ClutchBot with Discord, you agree to be bound by these terms.

1. Riot Games Community Guidelines Compliance

CLUTCH ARENA is an independent esports tournament platform. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Riot Games, Inc. VALORANT and all related logos are trademarks or registered trademarks of Riot Games, Inc. All community competitions hosted on CLUTCH ARENA must strictly adhere to the official Riot Games Community Competition Guidelines.

2. Fair Play, Anti-Cheat & Anti-Smurf Policy

All matches must be played with Riot Vanguard active. Any use of third-party software providing unfair advantages (aimbots, wallhacks, triggerbots, recoil scripts, or memory modifications) results in immediate permanent ban from CLUTCH ARENA and reporting to Riot Games.

  • 60-Day Riot ID Lock: Once linked to your profile, your Riot ID (Name#TAG) cannot be changed for 60 consecutive days to prevent multi-accounting.
  • Peak Rank Verification: For rank-capped tournaments (Max Gold, Max Platinum, Max Diamond), accounts are verified against both current and lifetime peak MMR via HenrikDev/Riot API.

3. Subscriptions, Payments & Cancellations

Tournaments up to 8 slots are 100% free. Paid organizer tiers (Pro 16, Major 32/64, and the Monthly Organizer Pass at €29.90/month) are processed securely through Stripe.

  • Self-Service Cancellation: Subscribers can cancel renewals at any time directly through the Stripe Customer Portal accessible in their profile.
  • Refund Policy: Single tournament unlocks (Pro 16 / Major 32/64) are non-refundable once the tournament bracket has been generated or match rooms have been published.

4. Discord Bot (ClutchBot) Terms & Organizer Responsibilities

By inviting ClutchBot (Application ID: 1548973966549319700) to a Discord server or interacting with its slash commands and match room buttons, you grant the bot permission to create and delete temporary tournament categories, text channels, voice channels, and rank/team roles within that server.

  • Discord Terms & Guidelines: All users and tournament organizers must strictly comply with Discord's Terms of Service (discord.com/terms) and Community Guidelines (discord.com/guidelines). Discord Inc. is not affiliated with, nor responsible for, tournaments hosted on CLUTCH ARENA.
  • Prohibition of Bot Abuse: Attempting to spam slash commands, exploit webhook/interaction endpoints, or use ClutchBot for unauthorized commercial spamming will result in immediate guild blacklisting and account termination.
