Guidelines

Last Updated: February 1, 2025

iGAME is a platform that provides a safe and respectful space for people to make various types of connections. We strive to create a healthy and equitable community, which is why we hold our members accountable for their behaviour and the way they treat each other.

To ensure the safety of our members, we have established Guidelines that outline the type of conduct and content that is not acceptable. These guidelines apply both on and off our platform. They outline the type of conduct and content that is not acceptable. These guidelines apply both on and off our platform.

Profile Guidelines

You should read this policy along with our Privacy Policy as it forms an integral part of it. Please direct all questions about your personal data directly to us using [email protected], our Contact Form or write us to the above address.

Content and Conduct Guidelines

There is no text provided to simplify. Please provide the text to be simplified.

However, we don’t allow profile photos or the sharing of links on profiles that depict:

People where the following is shown, even if covered or partially covered by emojis, hair or transparent clothing
Genitals or pubic regions
Bare buttocks
Women’s nipples and areolas
Visible explicit outlines of genitals
People in lingerie or underwear
Sexual acts of any kind, even if not explicitly visible
Digitally-created or drawn imagery (e.g. cartoons, memes, anime, drawings) that depicts any of the above. This imagery doesn’t necessarily have to include human beings

We also don’t allow iGAME to be used for any commercial exchange of sexual or romantic acts of any kind. This includes, but isn’t limited to, the following:

Any attempts to sell, advertise, or buy sexual acts in exchange for money or something of value (e.g. sex work, escort services)
Any attempts to sell, advertise, or buy adult sexual content (e.g. pornography, sexual live streams/webcamming). This includes using the platform to promote or re-route members to adult content websites
Any behaviour seeking or offering a romantic or sexual arrangement in exchange for money, financial support, or gifts (e.g. seeking a “sugar daddy” or “sugar baby”)

We understand that our members use iGAME for various purposes and may want to be transparent about it on their profile. We encourage members to be honest about what they are seeking, but we do not allow excessively obscene sexual content in public profiles or usernames, such as:

Bullying and Abusive Conduct

Our community is all about creating kind connections. We aim to create an experience which is free from behaviour that makes any individual or group feel harassed, bullied, or targeted.

Members may not:

Engage in any bullying, belittling, insulting, mocking, trolling, intimidating, dehumanizing, or degrading behaviour
Make harmful unsolicited comments about someone’s body or appearance (e.g. body shaming)
Wish, encourage, or praise acts of violence, or threatening acts of violence that would result in non-serious bodily injury
Engage in emotional abuse and/or manipulation
Repeat unwanted online contact of any kind
Blame, shame, or target someone based on their status as a survivor/victim of sexual assault, sexual exploitation, sexual harassment, or domestic abuse
Release a person’s private contact information, photos, or other personally identifying information without their consent
Blackmail a member to reveal embarrassing, compromising or otherwise private information (not including sexual or intimate content)
Not show up to an in-person meet up despite clear plans agreed by both parties
Create a profile with malicious intent to publish defamatory content about a person
Share content that is disrespectful toward victims, survivors, or families impacted by suicide, self-injury, or eating disorders

This includes content about public figures. Members are permitted to express their criticism of public figures, but we will not tolerate abusive conduct in any form.

Child Sexual Exploitation and Abuse

We don’t allow content that sexualizes or endangers children, real or fictional (e.g. anime, digital images, media, text, illustrations). This includes any visual depictions, sharing third party links, or discussions of sexually explicit conduct involving a child. It’s prohibited to upload, store, produce, share, or entice anyone to share child sexual abuse material (CSAM), even if the intent is to express outrage or raise awareness about this issue.

We understand that members might want to talk about and share images of their children with their connections. Any discussions about children must remain appropriate, relevant, and lawful. In addition, if you decide to include photos of children in your profile, they must be completely clothed and they cannot appear alone in the image. This includes any photos from your childhood.

We don’t allow profile photos of babies’, toddlers’ or children’s genitalia or buttocks even when they’re covered or partially covered by emojis.

Any violation of this policy will result in a member being removed from Crowd Around and reported to the authorities. In compliance with U.S, if we become aware of apparent child sexual exploitation, child grooming, or child abuse, we will report it to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children (NCMEC). NCMEC may make the report available to relevant local and global law enforcement authorities.

Commercial and Promotional Activity

iGAME is not a marketplace, and using the platform for unsolicited commercial or promotional purposes is not allowed in any iGAME:

Any unsolicited or irrelevant advertising or promotion of a product, brand, service, event, investment, business/organisation, music, or performance
Any group sales recruitment or promotion of a group sales product (multi-level marketing or pyramid schemes)
Unsolicited promotion of your social media or website in private messages to other members (see also Spam section bellow )
Sharing financial account information, links, or usernames to money transfer apps in profiles

On iGAME Business only, we allow:

Controlled Goods and Substances

We don’t allow members to use our platforms to buy, sell, supply, distribute or directly facilitate the purchase, sale, supply or distribution of illegal drugs and/or the misuse of controlled goods and substances.

Controlled goods and substances include, but aren’t limited to: e-cigarettes, marijuana, drug paraphernalia, or the misuse of legal substances like prescription drugs, tobacco, or alcohol.

Content providing instructions on how to manufacture illegal drugs or controlled goods and substances

In private messages or group chats, we may also allow imagery of drugs if shared explicitly for educational or health-related purposes. However, it’s important to make your intentions clear in sharing this content, or it may be removed and/or action may be taken against your account.

Dangerous Organizations and Individuals

We don’t allow organizations or individuals that proclaim, glorify, condone, or are known to support a violent, dangerous, or terrorist-based mission to have a presence on Crowd Around.

This includes, but isn’t limited to:

Terrorist organizations and individuals use violence and intimidation, particularly against civilians, to achieve political goals.

Behavior associated with known hate groups, or the use of speech, symbols, gestures, or imagery associated with hate groups.
Criminal organizations or those who have engaged in or plan to engage in any criminal activity, either on or off the platform.

We know that members may talk about or share information about a harmful group or person to inform others or show disapproval. We might let you do this in private chats, but you need to explain why you’re sharing it. If you don’t, we might delete your post, punish your account, or report you to the authorities. This applies to many things, not just these examples:

Identity-Based Hate

We aim to foster a diverse and inclusive community on iGAME. This means you should be respectful of other people’s beliefs, interests, and identities. We take a strong stance against identity-based hate.

We consider identity-based hate to be any content or conduct that promotes or condones any form of hate, dehumanization, degradation, or contempt against marginalized or minoritized communities based on the following protected attributes: race/ethnicity, national origin/nationality/immigration status, caste, sex, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, disability or serious health condition, or religion/belief.

This includes, but isn’t limited to:

Expressing threats, praises, or wishes of violence, death, or serious harm referencing protected attributes
Using identity-based slurs or epithets to cause harm
Supporting or glorifying known hate groups or sharing content, symbols, gestures, or imagery associated with hate groups
Insulting, expressing contempt, advocating harm, using degrading or disparaging language (including harmful stereotypes, expressions of superiority, inferiority, or dismissal), mocking, or taunting others based on a protected attribute
Denying the concept or severity of hate crimes or historical events
Misgendering (i.e. intentionally using someone’s wrong pronouns or gender) or dead-naming (i.e. intentionally calling someone by a name they no longer identify with)
Intentionally reporting members to iGAME for no reason other than their gender identity or other protected attributes

We don’t tolerate hate towards public figures or people outside of our community. You can say what kind of partner you’re looking for, but you can’t say what kind of partner you don’t want based on protected attributes. For example, you can say “I want a Muslim partner,” but not “I don’t want a Jewish or Christian partner.” We also don’t allow any mention of someone’s caste on profiles.

Inauthentic Profiles

iGAME values honesty. We want our members to use their real name on their profile, even if it is going to be hidden behind a nickname. They can use a nickname while on the app, but the user must confirm their real name to app staff upon request. We don’t allow pretending to be someone else or lying about who you are:

Catfishing (i.e. creating an online persona that isn’t you)
Using someone else’s photos, artificially generated photos, or enhanced photos to deceive others
Misrepresenting, misleading or falsely stating facts about yourself (including name, gender, age, and permanent location)
Allowing someone else to have access to -or control of- an account that does not represent them
Sharing content that may infringe on someone else’s copyright, trademark, name, likeness, image, other intellectual property, or privacy
Uploading photos of yourself that are heavily distorted or contain exaggerated/unnatural digital effects to the point where it cannot be clearly determined that you’re the person in the image
Using profile photos that contain a QR code or URL
Uploading profile photos of internet memes or images that are primarily text
Computer-created (AI) images or talking robots that staff members did not approve.

Misinformation

Misinformation is false or misleading content that can quickly escalate into serious risks to individuals, communities, and institutions. Because of this, we don’t allow the sharing of demonstrably false or substantially misleading content that’s likely to cause serious harm or negatively impact individual or public safety.

This includes, but isn’t limited to:

Content that directly contradicts information and guidance from leading and reputable global health organizations and public health authorities could result in injury or harm to the public. For example, information about COVID-19, monkeypox, or any other communicable disease or illness should be accurate and aligned with the guidance provided by these organizations.
Any proposed cures for COVID-19 or any other illnesses are not widely recognized as effective by leading and reputable global health organizations and public health authorities.
Supporting or glorifying known hate groups or sharing content, symbols, gestures, or imagery associated with hate groups
Any demonstrably false or substantially misleading information regarding abortion care that is likely to cause serious harm is prohibited. However, members are still allowed to voice their personal opinions or policy perspectives on the issue, as long as the information is not intended to harm, mislead, or contradict leading and reputable public health authorities. The discussion must remain respectful and not violate our Bullying and Abusive Conduct guidelines above.
False claims or misleading information on any civic process (e.g. elections, voting systems, census, referendums, etc.) should be avoided.
Dangerous and unproven conspiracy theories that may lead to individual or public safety concerns.
Content from or links to third-party sites that are known to produce or contain misinformation should be avoided.
Content that denies the concept or severity of hate crimes or historical events (See Identity-Based Hate guidelines above)
Any type of misinformation relating to political affairs that aims to influence political outcomes or manipulate historical facts.
Content that has been intentionally manipulated or taken out of context to spread false or misleading information.

Sharing any of the above content may lead to your content being removed and/or action being taken against your account.

Physical and Sexual Violence

We don’t tolerate any content, imagery or behavior that commits or threatens credible acts of physical or sexual violence.

This includes, but isn’t limited to:

Threatening or committing any type of physical harm to another person
Threatening or committing sexual assault of any kind, which we define as any unwanted physical contact or attempted physical contact that is sexual in nature.
Unwanted sexual touching or kissing of any body part, or attempts to do so
The unwanted removal of another’s clothes
Stealthing (i.e. the non-consensual removal of barrier contraceptives)
Non-consensual sexual penetration or attempts to do so, which include but aren’t limited to: rape, non-consensual oral sex, sexual acts while one party is unconscious or unable to consent to sexual activity or sexual acts induced by coercion or a substance
Expressing credible threats of violence that would result in serious bodily injury or death
Physical stalking (i.e. surveilling or showing up at someone’s location in order to intimidate or initiate unwanted contact)
Using our platform to facilitate exploitation or human trafficking is unacceptable. We define human trafficking as "the recruitment, transportation, transfer, harboring, or receipt of adults through force, fraud, or deception, with the aim of exploiting them for profit" (UN Office on Drugs and Crime).

We strongly encourage our members to report this type of behaviour through the app if it occurs on the platform, in person between members, or elsewhere outside of the iGAME platform. Our safety team can provide external resources for support. Since this behaviour may also be criminal, reporting to local law enforcement authorities may also be an option. If we become aware of any of the above conduct, we may take action against offending member accounts and may also cooperate with law enforcement Privacy Policy in any resulting criminal investigations.

Scams and Theft

iGAME strictly prohibits any scam or theft activity intended to defraud or manipulate members out of financial or material resources. We define scams as members making seemingly dishonest or false representations that aim to manipulate or defraud victims for financial gain or cause them loss.

Asking other members for financial support in the form of money, loans, investments, or donations
Lying about your intentions for financial gain
Misrepresenting or faking romantic intentions to manipulate or deceive members out of financial or material resources
Misrepresenting or falsely stating facts about yourself (including name, gender, age, and permanent location) for financial gain (See Inauthentic Profiles and Photos guidelines above )
Physically taking someone’s property or assets without their knowledge or permission
Creating deep fake using AI technology

Sexual Harassment

Our mission at iGAME is to foster healthy and equitable relationships through kind connections, so we wholly prohibit sexual harassment. We consider sexual harassment to be any non-physical, unwanted, and unwelcome sexual behaviours between members.

This includes, but isn’t limited to:

Cyberflashing (i.e. sharing unsolicited sexually explicit images)
Committing in-person indecent exposure (i.e. unwanted flashing on a date)
Obtaining, sharing, or threatening to share sexual images, videos, or screenshots of sexual conversations on any website or platform, without the consent of the person involved or depicted (commonly known as “revenge porn” or “non-consensual intimate image sharing”)
Making unwanted sexual comments, questions, and advances, including sexualized comments about someone's body.
Fetishizing a member without their consent
Sending unwanted sexualized imagery, including memes, animations, drawings, etc., as well as unwanted pornographic imagery or links.
Seeking romantic or sexual relationships on iGAME for Friend or Business on iGAME app (e.g. flirting, “sexting,” or offering/proposing sexual or romantic activity)

Remember, your off-platform behavior matters too. To protect victims and survivors, we may take action against your account for engaging in any of the above sexual harassment behaviors in person, on another platform, or through text.

Suicide and Self-Injury Promotional

We care deeply about our members and understand that some may struggle with mental health, self-injury, suicidal thoughts, substance use, or eating disorders. While we do permit members to share their personal experiences with these issues in a safe way, we do not allow any content that depicts, promotes, glorifies, or assists in activities that could lead to suicide, self-injury, or disordered eating or body image.

We don’t allow:

Encouraging, promoting, glorifying, or providing instructions for suicide or self-injury
Depicting, promoting, normalizing, glorifying, or providing instructions for disordered eating, dieting, or body image.
Graphic imagery depicting self-injury or suicide (See Violent or Graphic Content Guidelines below).
Content that’s disrespectful toward victims, survivors, or families impacted by suicide, self-injury, or eating disorders (See Bullying and Abusive Conduct Guidelines above)
Dangerous amateur acts or viral “challenges” that can cause serious bodily harm

In response to content that may describe a suicidal or self-injurious plan, intent, or thought, we may remove the content and send the member local supportive resources such as suicide prevention hotlines. If we have reason to believe a member is an imminent danger to themselves, we may contact local emergency authorities for intervention, which could include emergency services providing a welfare visit.

Violent and Graphic Content

We don’t permit violent, graphic, or gory content. This includes, but isn’t limited to:

Imagery containing real or realistic-appearing blood, bodily fluids, violence, or injury. This includes:
Excessive blood that appears to be real
Human bones or internal organs
Fetal remains or miscarriages

However, trophy hunting photos depicting the permitted animals above will not be allowed if the photo depicts a gun or visible injuries to the animal.

Platform Manipulation

We prioritize fostering a community built on genuine connections, so any attempts to artificially influence connections, matching, conversations, or engagement through the use of automation or scripting are strictly prohibited.

Safety Reporting

Safety is a top priority at iGAME platform. We use a combination of human moderators and automated systems to monitor and review iGAME accounts and interactions for content that may be against our Guidelines, against our Terms and Conditions, or otherwise harmful.

Our members play a critical role in the safety of iGAME by reporting content or behavior that may violate our Guidelines. If anything happens that makes you feel uncomfortable or unsafe, we highly encourage you to Unmatch with – or Block & Report – the member via our app. However, please consider that disagreeing with or disliking a member or their content is not necessarily a reason to report them. We may take action against a member if we’ve found them to be intentionally creating false or inappropriate reports against other members solely based on their protected attributes. This includes reporting transgender or nonbinary members for no reason other than their gender identity or expression or repeatedly sending false reports of bad behavior.

Enforcement Philosophy

All members must comply with the platform rules described and referenced in our Guidelines. If you behave in a way that goes against iGAME’s Guidelines, values, or otherwise act in any way we believe to be potentially harmful to iGAME or its members, we may take a range of actions on your account. When determining the penalty for violating our community guidelines, we consider a number of factors.

For example, we may:

We may work with the police if needed to help with any criminal investigations related to how our members act. Your behavior outside of the iGAME app can also get your account in trouble. If we find out that members have caused harm to each other on dates, meetups with friends, or through text messages or other messaging services, or if we learn about any harmful behavior you’ve done in the past or outside of iGAME, we may take action as if it happened on our app.

Updates

We update this Guidelines from time to time. Please check back regularly to stay aware of the latest version. This Guideline Policy was last updated on February 1, 2025.
