GSG TV – Terms & Conditions

GSG TV – Terms of Service

Effective Date: September 20, 2026

Welcome to GSG TV, a streaming, competitive-gaming and interactive entertainment platform operated by Game Starr Group LLC (“GSG,” “we,” “us,” or “our”).

These Terms of Service (“Terms”) govern your access to and use of the GSG TV website, mobile applications, Smart TV applications, tournaments, live streams, video-on-demand content and related products and services (collectively, the “Service”).

By accessing or using the Service, creating an account, registering for a tournament or submitting content, you agree to these Terms and our Privacy Policy. Certain tournaments, promotions or features may also be governed by additional official rules, eligibility requirements or guidelines.

If you do not agree to these Terms, you may not use the Service.

1. Eligibility

You must be at least 13 years old to create or use a GSG account.

If you are under 18 years old, you may only use the Service with the permission and supervision of a parent or legal guardian. Your parent or legal guardian must review and agree to these Terms on your behalf.

Individual tournaments may have higher minimum-age requirements based on the game, platform, prize, location or applicable law. The eligibility requirements displayed on the applicable tournament page or in its Official Rules will control.

Certain programming or content may be restricted to users who are 18 years of age or older.

You may only use the Service where doing so is lawful. GSG may restrict access to the Service, a tournament or a prize based on age, location, sanctions requirements, platform rules or applicable law.

2. Account Registration

Certain features require a GSG account or a connected third-party account, such as Discord.

When creating or using an account, you agree to:

Provide accurate, complete and current information;
Maintain only one account unless GSG provides written permission otherwise;
Keep your login credentials confidential;
Notify GSG promptly of suspected unauthorized access;
Accept responsibility for activity conducted through your account; and
Keep your gamer tags, platform IDs and contact information current.

You may not create an account using another person’s identity, impersonate another person, sell or transfer your account, or permit another person to compete through your account.

GSG may require email, identity, age, location, gamer-account or payment verification before allowing participation or awarding a prize.

GSG is not responsible for unauthorized account access resulting from a user’s failure to protect their login credentials.

3. Content and Streaming

GSG TV may provide:

Live gaming broadcasts;
Video-on-demand programming;
Free-entry gaming tournaments and competitive events;
Leaderboards, rankings and player statistics;
Role-play and original gaming series;
Community and creator content;
User-generated content; and
Third-party programming or integrations.

Content and programming schedules may be changed, interrupted, postponed, removed or discontinued.

Except where prohibited by law, the Service is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

4. Free-Entry, Skill-Based Tournaments

GSG tournaments offered under the current free-entry model are competitions in which winners are determined by player skill, performance and the scoring criteria stated in the applicable Official Rules.

No purchase, entry fee, donation or payment to GSG is required to register for or participate in a free-entry tournament.

Making a purchase, subscribing, donating, viewing an advertisement or providing financial support to GSG will not:

Improve a player’s chance of winning;
Increase a player’s score;
Provide preferential matchmaking;
Affect seeding unless seeding is based on published competitive criteria;
Provide access to hidden competitive advantages; or
Otherwise influence tournament results.

GSG does not offer random drawings, sweepstakes, lotteries or chance-based winner selection under these free-entry tournament Terms.

Tournament outcomes will be determined by the applicable game results, player performance, published scoring system, tiebreakers and administrative review described in the tournament’s Official Rules.

5. Tournament-Specific Official Rules

Each tournament may have separate Official Rules containing information such as:

Eligible ages and geographic locations;
Registration and check-in deadlines;
Tournament dates and time zones;
Supported platforms;
Game mode and lobby settings;
Player or team capacity;
Match format;
Scoring and tiebreakers;
Prize amounts and payout positions;
Verification requirements;
Technical procedures;
Dispute deadlines;
Prohibited conduct; and
Penalties or disqualification procedures.

The Official Rules for a tournament are incorporated into these Terms by reference.

If there is a direct conflict between these Terms and the Official Rules for a specific tournament, the tournament’s Official Rules will control with respect to that tournament.

Players are responsible for reviewing the Official Rules before registering and participating.

Registration does not guarantee admission if a tournament reaches capacity or if a player fails to satisfy its eligibility, verification or check-in requirements.

6. Tournament Registration and Participation

To participate in a GSG tournament, you may be required to:

Maintain an active GSG account;
Connect or provide an eligible gaming or Discord account;
Register before the deadline;
Use the gamer ID submitted during registration;
Accept these Terms and the applicable Official Rules;
Complete check-in;
Join the assigned lobby by the announced deadline;
Follow tournament-administrator instructions; and
Provide accurate eligibility and verification information.

Each participant may register only once per tournament unless the Official Rules expressly permit multiple entries.

Players are responsible for obtaining and maintaining their own game, console or computer, online gaming subscription, internet connection, account and compatible equipment.

Unless the Official Rules state otherwise, a tournament will not be delayed or restarted because of an individual player’s internet failure, equipment failure, game crash, incorrect gamer ID, missed check-in or failure to join the assigned lobby.

7. Skill, Scoring and Results

Tournament rankings are determined by the skill-based scoring system published in the Official Rules. Scoring may include:

Final placement;
Match wins;
Eliminations or objectives;
Fastest completion time;
Head-to-head performance;
Cumulative points across multiple matches; or
Other objectively stated performance criteria.

GSG may use game-generated data, screenshots, video recordings, livestream footage, administrator observations, third-party statistics and player-submitted evidence to verify results.

GSG may correct scoring, technical or administrative errors before results become final.

Subject to applicable law, GSG tournament administrators have final authority over match operations, scoring, eligibility, penalties and disputes. Decisions will be made reasonably and in accordance with the applicable Official Rules.

8. Fair Play and Prohibited Conduct

You may not:

Use cheats, hacks, scripts, macros, bots or unauthorized software or hardware;
Exploit bugs, glitches or unintended game mechanics;
Manipulate matchmaking, scoring, eliminations or tournament results;
Team with another player in a solo competition;
Engage in collusion, win trading or intentional match fixing;
Stream-snipe or use broadcast information to gain an unfair advantage;
Allow another person to play through your account;
Compete using another person’s account;
Register multiple accounts to gain additional entries;
Share private lobby credentials without authorization;
Submit false results or altered evidence;
Intentionally disconnect to avoid an elimination or loss;
Harass, threaten, discriminate against or impersonate another person;
Interfere with the Service, a broadcast or tournament administration;
Violate the applicable game publisher’s terms, rules or code of conduct; or
Violate any applicable law or regulation.

GSG may investigate suspected violations using available gameplay data, recordings, communications and other relevant evidence.

Depending on the nature and severity of a violation, GSG may issue a warning, adjust points, remove eliminations, forfeit a match, disqualify a player, revoke prize eligibility, suspend an account or permanently prohibit participation in future GSG events.

9. Prizes and Winner Verification

Tournament prizes may be funded by GSG, advertisers, sponsors or promotional partners.

Prize amounts, payout positions and material conditions will be disclosed in the applicable Official Rules or tournament listing before registration closes.

A potential winner may be required to provide information reasonably necessary to verify:

Identity;
Age;
Geographic eligibility;
Gamer account ownership;
Compliance with the Official Rules;
Tax-reporting information; and
Payment-account information.

A potential winner is not an official winner until GSG completes the required verification and confirms the result.

GSG will never require a winner to pay an entry fee, processing fee, shipping fee or other charge to claim a cash prize. Winners remain responsible for any taxes legally associated with their prizes.

A potential winner may lose prize eligibility if the person:

Does not satisfy the eligibility requirements;
Provides false, incomplete or unverifiable information;
Violates these Terms or the Official Rules;
Fails to respond or provide required documentation by the stated deadline;
Cannot lawfully receive the prize; or
Engaged in cheating, collusion, manipulation or other prohibited conduct.

When permitted by the Official Rules and applicable law, GSG may award the prize to the next eligible player or handle the prize as otherwise stated in the Official Rules.

Prize payments may be processed through PayPal or another GSG-approved payment provider. Recipients may be required to maintain an eligible account with that provider and accept the provider’s terms.

GSG is not responsible for delays caused by inaccurate information, verification problems, payment-provider outages or restrictions outside GSG’s reasonable control.

10. Donations, Sponsorships and Advertising

GSG may accept voluntary donations or other financial support through third-party services.

A donation is separate from tournament registration and participation. Donations do not constitute tournament entry fees and do not provide any competitive advantage or increased opportunity to win.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, payments or donations made to Game Starr Group LLC are not charitable contributions and are not tax-deductible.

Sponsors and advertisers may fund prizes, programming or event production. Sponsorship does not permit a sponsor or advertiser to determine competitive results outside the objective criteria published in the Official Rules.

The Service may contain advertising, sponsored content, affiliate links or branded integrations.

11. Intellectual Property

The Service and its original content—including GSG trademarks, logos, graphics, software, broadcasts, tournament presentation, website design and original programming—are owned by or licensed to Game Starr Group LLC and are protected by applicable intellectual-property laws.

Except as permitted by these Terms or authorized in writing by GSG, you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, modify, sell, license, publicly display or commercially exploit GSG content.

Game titles, publisher names, platform names, trademarks and related assets belong to their respective owners.

Unless expressly stated otherwise, GSG tournaments are independently operated and are not sponsored, endorsed or administered by the applicable game publisher, console manufacturer or platform provider.

Participants must comply with the terms and policies of each applicable game publisher and platform.

12. User-Generated Content and Tournament Recordings

You retain ownership of original content you submit to GSG.

By uploading, submitting, streaming or otherwise making content available through the Service, you grant GSG a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free, transferable and sublicensable license to host, store, reproduce, edit, format, distribute, publicly display, publicly perform, broadcast and promote that content in connection with:

Operating the Service;
Producing and distributing GSG programming;
Broadcasting tournaments;
Displaying highlights and results;
Marketing GSG and its events; and
Promoting future GSG programming.

This license continues for as long as reasonably necessary to operate, distribute and promote content created while your submission was available through the Service.

You represent that:

You own the content or have permission to provide it;
The content does not violate another person’s rights;
The content does not contain unlawful or malicious material; and
GSG’s permitted use will not violate any agreement applicable to you.

GSG events may be livestreamed, recorded, edited and distributed. To the extent permitted by law, participation constitutes permission for GSG to use your gamer tag, gameplay, voice, tournament performance and publicly submitted profile information in connection with tournament coverage, results and promotion.

Any use of a participant’s legal name, personal likeness or biographical information for a separate commercial endorsement will be subject to applicable law and any additional release required by GSG.

13. Privacy

GSG’s collection and use of personal information are governed by its Privacy Policy.

Tournament participants may be asked to provide information necessary for registration, administration, fraud prevention, legal compliance, winner verification, tax reporting and prize payment.

Public leaderboards may display a participant’s GSG username, gamer tag, platform, scores, rankings and tournament results.

Users should not post private lobby credentials, payment details, home addresses, government-identification numbers or other sensitive information in public areas of the Service.

14. Third-Party Services

The Service may integrate with services operated by third parties, including game publishers, console platforms, Discord, streaming providers, analytics providers and payment processors.

Third-party services are governed by their own terms and privacy policies.

GSG does not control and is not responsible for third-party content, availability, security, policies or actions. GSG is not responsible for outages, game updates, server failures, account restrictions or other conditions caused by a third party.

15. Suspension and Termination

GSG may suspend, restrict or terminate access to some or all of the Service when reasonably necessary because of:

A violation of these Terms or tournament Official Rules;
Cheating, fraud, abuse or misconduct;
Threats to other users or the Service;
Legal or regulatory requirements;
Ineligibility;
Intellectual-property infringement; or
Conduct that materially interferes with GSG operations.

Suspension or termination may result in disqualification from current or future tournaments and loss of prize eligibility when permitted by the applicable Official Rules and law.

Sections that by their nature should survive termination—including provisions regarding intellectual property, licenses, disclaimers, liability, indemnification and disputes—will remain effective.

16. Service Changes, Cancellations and Technical Problems

GSG may modify, postpone, suspend or cancel a tournament because of:

Game-server or platform outages;
Security or integrity concerns;
Cheating or result manipulation;
Insufficient eligible participation;
Technical failures;
Game updates;
Sponsor withdrawal;
Force majeure events;
Legal or regulatory requirements; or
Other circumstances that prevent fair or safe operation.

When reasonably possible, GSG will notify affected participants and describe how registration, scheduling, results or prizes will be handled.

GSG will make reasonable efforts to preserve competitive fairness but does not guarantee uninterrupted gameplay, streaming or access to the Service.

17. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the fullest extent permitted by law, the Service is provided “AS IS” and “AS AVAILABLE.”

GSG does not warrant that:

The Service will always be uninterrupted, secure or error-free;
Streams will be available without delay or buffering;
Third-party games or platforms will remain available;
Every tournament will proceed as scheduled; or
Information supplied by users or third parties will always be accurate.

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

18. Limitation of Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, Game Starr Group LLC and its owners, employees, contractors, affiliates, sponsors and service providers will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, exemplary or punitive damages arising from:

Use of or inability to use the Service;
Loss of data, revenue, profits or business opportunities;
Individual internet, equipment or game-account failures;
Third-party services or conduct;
User disputes;
Tournament postponements or cancellations; or
Unauthorized access resulting from a user’s failure to protect an account.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot lawfully be limited or excluded.

19. Indemnification

To the fullest extent permitted by law, you agree to defend, indemnify and hold harmless Game Starr Group LLC and its owners, employees, contractors and affiliates from claims, damages, losses, liabilities and reasonable expenses arising from:

Your use or misuse of the Service;
Content you submit;
Your violation of these Terms or tournament Official Rules;
Your infringement of another person’s rights; or
Your unlawful, fraudulent or intentionally harmful conduct.

This provision does not apply to the extent prohibited by applicable law.

20. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of New York, without regard to its conflict-of-law principles.

Any mandatory consumer-protection rights available under the laws of a user’s place of residence remain unaffected.

The forum and procedure for resolving disputes may be further addressed in applicable tournament Official Rules or other written terms accepted by the user.

21. Changes to These Terms

GSG may update these Terms to reflect changes to the Service, tournament operations, business practices or applicable law.

The updated Terms will identify their effective date and will be posted through the Service. When required by law, GSG will provide additional notice.

Your continued use of the Service after revised Terms become effective constitutes acceptance of those Terms. Material changes will not retroactively alter the rules or results of a tournament that has already concluded unless required by law or necessary to correct fraud or misconduct.

22. Severability and Entire Agreement

If any provision of these Terms is found unenforceable, the remaining provisions will remain in effect to the fullest extent permitted by law.

These Terms, the Privacy Policy and any applicable tournament Official Rules constitute the agreement between you and GSG concerning the Service.

GSG’s failure to enforce a provision does not waive its right to enforce that provision later.

You may not transfer your rights or obligations under these Terms without GSG’s written permission. GSG may assign these Terms as part of a merger, acquisition, financing, reorganization or transfer of the Service.
