Artists wanted

Yeah, we know — AI art kinda sucks. Not because it’s not pretty, but because it copies real artists. Artists who’ve spent years perfecting their craft, only to have their style imitated by machines… and often without a single cent or shoutout. That’s not cool.

That said — full honesty — we were in a rush to launch. We had to move fast, and AI art helped us get things up and running. But now that the site’s live, we want to do things right. We want to replace every AI-generated image on our website with real art made by real humans.

So here’s the deal: if you’re an artist and already have a piece that could vibe with one of our website sections — or if you’ve got a cool idea you’d love to bring to life for us — hit us up! Send an email to igotart@playsafeid.com with your portfolio and a quote.

We’re planning to feature a different artist for each section of the site — showcasing unique styles and giving visibility to the people behind the work with full credit.

Let’s swap the robots for some real talent!

FAQs

  • Your PlaySafe ID is an anonymised and unique ID that is generated when you prove you’re a real person. It’s your key to play in PlaySafe protected matchmaking across games and services where you’ll only play with and against other real people who haven’t been caught cheating, botting, or being inappropriate to children.

  • You unlock PlaySafe Protected matchmaking by connecting your PlaySafe ID to a game. You can only play here if you have a valid PlaySafe ID without any active penalties. This means that you will only play with real people who haven’t been caught cheating/hacking across any PlaySafe Protected game.

  • 13+ with a photo ID: Simply create an account, take a picture of a document and take a selfie. We then get notified by Onfido if the verification was successful, then we generate your random and anonymised PlaySafe ID. We don’t see or store any of your documents or biometrics.

    Under 13s, or those without a document/ID: Your parent will need to create an account with the steps above, and then they can add you as an under-18 user. Note: Child & parents accounts are linked and share penalties.

  • We use a process called “zero-knowledge verification”. We don’t see or store any data, documents or biometrics from your verification.

    We have partnered with Onfido who are giants in the KYC, identity, and verification industry. They are used by huge names across finance, insurance, and other big industries.

    You verify your identity on the PlaySafe ID platform, powered by Onfido. We get told if the verification was successful by Onfido, and if it is, we generate a random and anonymised PlaySafe ID. It is this PlaySafe ID that is used with games and services.

  • We have two very simple rules:

    1. Don’t use software or hardware to gain an unfair advantage over other players (cheat, hack, bot, script, etc).

    2. Don’t groom or be sexual towards children.

    We don’t blacklist based on toxicity or behaviour; that’s at the discretion of the game to handle as they see fit. We ultimately just care about cheating and child safety.

  • When you verify yourself, Onfido check if you’re real and if they’ve seen you before. They only notify us to create you a PlaySafe ID if you pass the check, and they’ve never seen you before. This process prevents anyone from creating a second PlaySafe ID.

  • Free for players forever. We charge games studios, and they’re willing to pay for a few reasons.

    Firstly, we reduce a lot of compliance risk for games studios, particularly on child safety, anti-fraud, and trust & safety. Each of these areas carry multi-million dollar fines, so it’s essential they do whatever they can to safeguard users.

    Secondly, PlaySafe ID users are happier, play more, and spend more on average, so studios increase their bottom line.

  • TLDR: Our CEO was fed up with cheating in games and wanted to make a real solution. Anti-cheat is an essential tool, but it falls short. It doesn’t matter if you’re caught cheating - you can just create a new account.

    PlaySafe ID was born out of frustration with how bad the gaming experience has gotten, and exists to provide meaningful accountability. Players want to have a fair and fun time, and parent’s want to know that predators are kept away from their kids. PlaySafe ID is here to ensure both of those things are true.
