Do I need a Global Gamester account to place bets?
Yes, but it is easy to setup an account and in just minutes you'll be a part of the original and fastest growing community of gamers from around the world!
What do I need to create an account?
You only need a valid email address to setup an account. A valid email address is needed for verification purposes and to insure the integrity of the online community. This email address is always kept private and will never be given to any third-party company. (see terms and privacy policy)
What's the difference between account types?
The more premier accounts offer benefits and features unavailable to basic members. Monthly rates vary. Click here for more information about the different accounts and current introductory offers!
Do I need an X-Box™ or PlayStation2™ to bet on Global Gamester?
Strictly speaking, no. You can place a bet as soon as you have an account and setting up an account does not require that you own either one. However, you must have access to the game you are betting on so you can play. This requires that either you or a friend have the console, the game, and a connection to the Internet to play online.
Is there a maximum or minimum bet?
Yes. The actual limits are based on your account type. All account types have the same minimum bet, but the maximum bet increases as your membership level increases. Click here for specific limits.
How do I find people to bet against?
Global Gamester offers forums to meet and communicate, messaging between members to keep in touch, and a real-time online members page that shows who's online, who wants to play, and what games they are interested in. Global Gamester is not only a mediator between competing players, but also a fun meeting place for gamers from around the world to meet and interact!
Can I give my opponent a spread to even the competition?
Yes. You may offer a spread in your favor or your opponent's. Spreads must be in decimals (e.g. 7.5 instead of 7) to avoid a push (tie). A point spread allows two players who are unevenly matched to level the playing field and place a fair bet.
How does Global Gamester know who wins an online game?
After the members play the online game, they must confirm the outcome with Global Gamester. If the members disagree on the outcome the wager then becomes disputed. Global Gamester is able to verify the outcome of all titles listed as supported titles. Verification is obtained from the actual third-party vendor supporting the online title.
How does Global Gamester determine the outcome of a title not listed as supported?
Only wagers placed on titles listed as supported can be verified by Global Gamester. If a dispute arises over the result of an non-supported title, the members may use Tradiator.com's™ resolution services free of charge to resolve their dispute.
What if the members cannot resolve their dispute on their own?
If the members cannot resolve their dispute using free resolution services offered by Tradiator.com™ they may choose to use Tradiator's mediation services for a small fee. A mediator will discuss the dispute and work with both sides to resolve the situation.
