Frequently Asked Questions

General

What is Chess Daily Game?

Chess Daily Game is an online platform where you can play chess against real opponents. Enjoy casual matches, rated games, and cash challenges. You can also join tournaments and compete in unique Arcade-style chess games.

How do I register?

To join Chess Daily Game, simply enter your phone number. You’ll receive a verification code to complete your sign-up quickly and securely.

Can I win money by playing chess?

Yes! You can earn money by collecting Activity Points. Top players on the leaderboard receive a portion of platform fees. There are also tournaments with cash and other rewards.

What’s the difference between casual and rated games?

Casual games won’t affect your rating—ideal for practice. Rated games use the Glicko-2 rating system and will impact your ranking based on your performance.

Paid Games

What is a Stake Game?

Both players pay the same amount at the start. The winner takes the pot (minus a 3.5% fee). If it’s a draw, the amount is split evenly.

What is a Donation Game?

In Donation Games, only one player pays. Regardless of the outcome, the second player receives the money. This format is used to pay others to play against you. If the second player doesn’t play properly, the money can be refunded.

When is money deposited?

The money is locked in once both players make their first move. If there’s an issue with payment, the game is canceled and the full amount is returned.

When is money refunded in Donation Games?

If the second player quits early or plays fewer than 18 moves, the money is automatically returned to the first player.

Activity Points

What are Activity Points?

Activity Points (AP) are earned as you play games. Players with the highest AP totals can win monthly rewards.

Do Activity Points expire?

Yes, they expire after 30 days. Keep playing to stay on the leaderboard.

How do I receive rewards?

Connect your account to HandCash and rank in the top 100 players by AP.

Can I play the same person to farm AP?

Only the first 5 games per day against the same opponent will count. This rule doesn’t apply to Arcade games.
