Am I allowed to have a smurf account?

To maintain fair and competitive gameplay on Esportal, we have implemented a strict policy prohibiting the use of smurf accounts. This rule was introduced on April 20, 2021, with the aim of creating a level playing field for all users. We understand the negative impact that smurfing can have on the gaming experience, and we are committed to fostering an environment where players can enjoy matches with integrity and sportsmanship.

Smurf accounts refer to secondary or alternate accounts created by players who are already established on the platform. These accounts are typically used to gain an unfair advantage by playing against lower-skilled opponents or manipulating the matchmaking system. By disallowing smurf accounts, we aim to ensure that matches are balanced and that every player has an equal opportunity to compete based on their true skill level.

We take this policy seriously and actively monitor and enforce it. Players found to be violating the smurfing rule may face penalties, including temporary or permanent suspension from the platform. We believe that by eliminating smurfing, we create a more enjoyable and meaningful gaming experience for all users.

If you would like to learn more about our stance on smurf accounts and the reasoning behind this policy, we invite you to read our official announcement on the matter. The article can be accessed at the following link. It provides a comprehensive explanation of our decision and the impact we hope to achieve by implementing this rule.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation in adhering to this policy. By playing on Esportal without smurf accounts, you contribute to a fair and competitive gaming environment where skills are genuinely tested, and players can truly showcase their abilities.

Should you have any further questions or concerns regarding the smurfing policy or any other aspect of Esportal, please do not hesitate to reach out to our support team.
