About EloCircuit.
About
EloCircuit is a skill-based competition platform. Chess first — more skill games on the same engine in time. Players compete in master-bot challenges, public Hall of Fame leaderboards, and (soon) ranked tournaments and head-to-head ranked matches.
Skill, not chance. Every game has a deterministic ruleset and a server-authoritative engine. No dice. No card draws. Just the position you're in and the move you choose.
How it works
Sign up. Get a generous Prize Coin balance to play with. Challenge a master bot at your level for a Prize Coin entry — win and you take 1.5×, draw and you get your entry back, lose and the entry is forfeit. Predefined prizes, skill-based, no randomness. Prize Coins refresh nightly so you can always keep playing.
Beat a master and your name goes on the public Hall of Fame. Your skill rating (Glicko-2) updates with every match — it's your ticket to higher tiers when ranked matches and tournaments open.
Fair play
Every match is server-authoritative — the engine independently validates every move. Master bots run on Computer bots; their skill levels are configured per character and are not adaptive (a 1400-rated bot plays 1400 chess regardless of who's at the board).
When ranked matches with real prize distribution launch, we'll be running multi-layer anti-cheat: engine-correlation analysis, behavioral signals, and time-pattern checks on every move. Players found using assistance forfeit balances and are banned.
Responsible play
Ranked matches and tournaments may distribute prizes where permitted by the player's jurisdiction. Set a deposit limit, a loss limit, and a session time limit from your profile before you compete for prizes. Self-exclude at any time. We honor all limits server-side.
If you or someone you know has problems with compulsive competitive play, support is available — call 1-800-GAMBLER (US) or visit gamblingtherapy.org for help.
Terms of use
Full terms ship with each operator. Common terms: one account per person, no automation, no shared accounts, no third-party engine assistance, no money laundering, no underage play. Violations forfeit balances.
Privacy
We store only what's needed to operate accounts and games: email, display name, hashed password, game history, and ratings. We don't sell your data. Public Hall of Fame shows your display name and avatar emoji only.
