Disconnections and resuming games at PlayE4™

If you get disconnected, you will have 2 minutes to reconnect and resume the game. To do so, simply log in again and the disconnected game will resume automatically. If you do not return within 2 minutes, the chess game will be analyzed and the money will be split accordingly. For more details on the analyzing software we use,click here..

How do you prevent players from abusing others by stalling or disconnecting on purpose?

Whenever a player disconnects/times out (real money mode), he or she automatically pays a penalty by win/lose percentages.
Moreover, PlayE4™ system recognizes and blocks players who frequently disconnect/cause a timeout.
This means that a player, who disconnects often, will be risking his or her account being automatically banned from the site by our system.

How do you control players that cheat, curse and/or cause general dismay to others?

PlayE4™ does everything in its power to prevent any kind of abusive behavior. Most of the time, we do locate and punish players, who are using foul tactics in order to gain unlawful advantage or for any other purpose.
