18+ identity verification is required before play. Stripe hosts identity and payment steps. ChessDating receives the verification result and does not store raw ID photos, selfies, or full card numbers.
Required for every account
Verify before you match.
Email and adult identity verification are required before profiles, matchmaking, games, or chat become available. Existing accounts must complete the same confirmation.

Stripe Identity securely checks supported passports, national identity cards, and driver's licenses from many countries using a live capture and matching selfie. ChessDating receives only the verification result needed to confirm 18+ eligibility.

Privacy by design
Stripe Identity captures the document and selfie. ChessDating.com stores the Stripe session reference, status, check time, limited failure information, and a one-way secret-keyed document fingerprint to prevent reuse—not raw ID images, document numbers, selfies, or the verified birth date.

Practice the full flow
Choose a hosted practice opponent.
Every opponent in this beta is a clearly labeled hosted bot. Before the practice game, you see the basics you selected—gender, age-range fit, hypothetical distance, and chess compatibility. The sample profile and bot chat unlock after the game.
