- Playing with multiple accounts (e.g. earning $DEFY or other rewards into two or more accounts including Referral Rewards). This means at most one user can only use one account and only one device.
- Sharing an account with multiple users.
- Attempting to alter or falsify a device’s location such as GPS spoofing or geo-hacking.
- Accessing services in an unauthorised manner, including using modified or unofficial third-party software to manipulate the app in any form.
- Buying, selling, or trading of accounts.
- Abusing a bug to gain rewards.
- Abusing the refund policy.
The current anti-cheat measures implemented results in DEFY not working on devices that are detected or reasonably suspected to be cheating. DEFY Team will not provide support to players who attempt to or are found cheating.

How to be safe on Discord?
Three steps to be safe on Discord
- We will NEVER DM you first
The DEFY team including Moderators will never DM you first and we will never ask for your personal information or seed phrase. Scammers often impersonate team members, copying their profile picture and name and then DM you. If in doubt, please screenshot and contact a team member or moderator on the Discord.
- Turn off DMs on Discord
Please follow the steps below:
- Please go to your Discord User Settings.
- Click Privacy & Safety.
- Uncheck ‘Allow direct messages from server members’.
- Do not click links
Be extremely wary of links from any known or unknown source. This is a common attack vector. Sharing links is turned off in our discord server for the safety of our users.
- Do not ask for Personal or Sensitive information
Please avoid asking or disclosing sensitive information, such as your residential address, to other users. It's crucial to recognise that, in Discord and the real world, you are primarily responsible for your own safety. If you ever find yourself in doubt or come across any suspicious activity, feel free to contact a moderator or a member of the DEFY Team for support.
