Account Pause — Self-Exclusion Tools
Step away.
We hold your spot.
If you need to step back from Chart Raiders, we provide two levels of account lock. All locks are enforced immediately. To request early unlock, email accounthelp@chartraiders.com — but read the terms carefully before locking.
Pause Your Account
Need a break? You can halt all account operations for up to 365 days. While locked, you will be unable to enter matches, deposit funds, or access your account balance. This gives you the space you need to step back and reset.
⚠ IMPORTANT: We will only disable this lock at your request a maximum of 2 times total. On the third lock, we will not unlock your account early under any circumstances. Think carefully before locking.
Lock Duration
0 – 365 Days
Take a Longer Pause
For a more serious break, you can lock your account for up to 700 days. This extended lock is designed for players who need a longer period away. Full account operations will be suspended for the entire duration — no exceptions to the lockout will be made.
⚠ CRITICAL: We will only disable this lock at your request a maximum of 1 time total. After that, any extended lock you set is permanent for the duration. This is a serious commitment. Email accounthelp@chartraiders.com to request the single unlock.
Lock Duration
365 – 700 Days

Skill Game Classification — What Chart Raiders Is
This is a game of skill.
Not a gambling product.
Chart Raiders is a peer-to-peer fantasy trading platform classified as a skill-based contest under state game-of-skill laws. No securities are bought or sold. Players never compete against the house — only against each other. The outcome of every match is determined by skill, analytical ability, and trading strategy.
“Players use analytical skill, mathematical logic, and trading strategy to maximize a fictional bankroll. The platform's Skill Tree demonstrates that competencies can be learned and improved. Skilled players will statistically outperform less skilled players over time — the gold standard for proving skill predominance under state law.”

Why Chart Raiders is a skill game
Peer-to-Peer Structure
Players compete against each other — not against the house. Chart Raiders takes a flat 1–5% platform fee. There is no house position, no counterparty risk, and no odds-setting. This is the exact model that survives regulatory scrutiny in most states.
No Securities Transactions
No actual securities are bought, sold, or transferred. Players analyze publicly available real-world market data and apply skill within a fictional environment. This is a critical distinction from regulated financial products.
Payouts Based on Rank — Not Asset Value
Prize distributions are determined by player rank among peers — not by the direction or value of any underlying asset. Two players analyzing the same ticker can have completely opposite outcomes based purely on their trading decisions.
Full Pre-Match Transparency
Every player is fully informed before a match begins: total entrants, complete prize pool, distribution formula, and the specific ticker. No hidden information. No post-hoc changes. What you see before entering is exactly what happens.
Skill Tree & Educational Foundation
An entire educational infrastructure — 43 lessons, 9 drills, AI mentor — is dedicated to building player competency. This provides powerful evidence that the platform is fundamentally about skill development. A gambling operator would never do this.

Recognizing problematic play behaviour.
If you recognize any of these patterns in yourself, it may be time to use our limit tools, pause your account, or reach out to a support organization.
Chasing Losses
Continuing to enter matches specifically to recover money already lost. Each match entry should be an independent decision — not a response to a prior loss.
Playing Beyond Your Means
Spending more on match entries than you can comfortably afford to lose. Set a deposit limit to create a hard ceiling that protects you automatically.
Neglecting Responsibilities
Letting play time impact work, family, health, or financial obligations. Use our time limit tools to create boundaries before this becomes an issue.
Hiding Your Activity
Concealing how much time or money you spend on Chart Raiders from people close to you. Use our accountability check to get an honest picture of your history.
Obsessive Thinking
Constantly thinking about playing, planning your next entry, or feeling unable to stop. A temporary account pause may be the right move — and it is always available to you.
Borrowing to Play
Using credit, loans, or borrowed money to fund match entries. Chart Raiders should only ever be funded from discretionary income. If you are borrowing to play, please reach out for support.
