How do I change my email or username?

Updated

Quick answer

Change your display name on your profile at any time, and change your email with Change email and the 6-digit code we send to the new address.

To change your username, change the Display name on your profile, which you can do at any time. To change your email address, press Change email on your profile, enter the new address and type the 6-digit code we send to it.

How do I change my display name?

  1. Open your profile and find Display name under Account settings.
  2. Type your new name, between 3 and 50 characters.
  3. Press Save. Your new name shows straight away.

Your display name is what other members see in the chat, on the leaderboard and in free rain winner announcements. A name with inappropriate language is refused, so choose another name if the profile asks you to. If you would rather other members did not see your earnings, you can make your profile private.

How do I change the email on my account?

  1. Open your profile and press Change email. The Change your email address window opens.
  2. Enter the new email address. If you sign in with a password, enter your current password too, and if you use two-factor authentication, enter the code from your authenticator app.
  3. Press Send code. We send a 6-digit code to the new address, and your account keeps using the current address until you enter the code.
  4. Enter the code under your email on your profile. The code lasts 15 minutes, and Send code sends a new one if it has expired. When the code is accepted, the site shows Email address updated.

You can change your email whether or not your current address is verified, so a typo from when you signed up is fixed the same way. The code also verifies the new address, and until you enter the code, Cancel change keeps your current address.

Why is my new email address not accepted?

The Change your email address window says why it did not accept your new email address, and the reason is usually one of these:

  • The address is unavailable. The address already belongs to another account, or to an account that was deleted, so use a different address.
  • Your current password or your two-factor code is missing. The change needs both when your account has them.
  • A change is already waiting. Enter the code for that change, or press Cancel change and start again with the address you want.

If none of these explains the problem, contact our support team and tell us what the window says.

Where do my withdrawal emails go after I change my email?

After an email change, the emails about your withdrawals go to the new address, and your withdrawals page keeps every claim link and code from before the change.
