How to Avoid Scams and Protect your Runestake Account
This guide provides useful information on ensuring your Runestake.com account is secured and prevents you from getting scammed during your time playing with us!
Set a Unique Password
Use a unique password for each of your online accounts. This ensures that if one password is compromised, the others remain safe. A strong password should be memorable yet difficult to guess. Managing unique passwords for every account can be challenging, so consider using a password manager. A good resource to utilize for checking if your password could potentially be at risk is using Have I been Pwned?
Enable 2-FA Authentication for your Runestake.com Account
Adding an authenticator to your Runestake account provides an extra layer of protection against unauthorized access, even if someone knows your password. Keep your email account secure as well, since a hijacker could disable the authenticator if they gain access to it. You can enable 2-FA on your account here and ensure "2FA On Login" is turned on.
Protect Your Email Address
Securing your email is crucial, as it serves as a gateway to many other accounts. Use a strong password and enable your email provider's security features, like two-factor authentication. Regularly check for any suspicious rules or filters set up in your email settings, especially if you suspect a compromise. Each email provider typically has a guide for managing these settings. Also, do not share your email address utilized for your account on Runestake.com as users could lookup to see if the email address has been compromised previously in a data breach, potentially also exposing the passwords you've previously used in attempt to see if you are using the same information for your Runestake.com account. You can check if your registered email has been exposed in a previous data breach utilizing the following resource here.
Secure Your Device
Locking your device with a passcode prevents unauthorized access from potential access to your Runestake account. Install and regularly update antivirus and anti-spyware software, and conduct frequent scans to detect malware. Enable phishing filters in your browser to warn you of potentially unsafe websites.
Stay Up to Date with Device Updates
Always keep your operating system and applications updated. Failing to install critical security updates can leave your device vulnerable. Use a search engine to find specific steps for your device.
Manage Active Sessions
If you suspect unauthorized access to your Runestake account or have forgotten to log out on a shared device, contact support and request they end all active sessions to log out on all devices simultaneously.
Avoid Phishing and Scams
Phishing scams often come in the form of direct messages via Discord from unknown users or hacked accounts and also via emails that contain links to fake Runestake.com login pages or malicious downloads. These may appear to be official communications from Runestake or tempting offers like free tokens, cheat codes, or other enticing content offering some sort of reward. Remember, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is! Always feel free to contact our support if you have questions regarding the legitimacy of an email/message you received before proceeding!
Avoid "Loans" to other Runestake Players
Players will often try to entice you to loan them tokens or cryptocurrency, promising they will pay the amount back usually with an extra amount on top. These most often end up in the user giving the individual tokens and never receiving the tokens back. DO NOT loan any player on Runestake who asks, no matter how much you think the player is your friend or is trustworthy.
Avoid "Prediction Software/Scripts"
There may be instances where you come across advertisements from players stating they have a "prediction software/script" that uses complex algorithms and statistical analysis to predict the outcome of Runestake.com games. Creators of these programs claim that they have been tested and proven to be accurate, giving players an edge over the house. Individuals may try to get you to pay a fee for these programs or they may offer them for free. These programs are nothing more than a gimmick and actually contain malicious viruses/malware/spyware that will compromise your devices and Runestake account.
Avoid engaging in 3rd Party Token Purchases/Redemptions
Be cautious of users offering to "Swap/Exchange" cryptocurrencies personally or through 3rd party sources that are promising to exchange "CashApp/Zelle/PayPal" for your cryptocurrency or your Runestake tokens. These are almost always scams, and once you send your funds, you will likely receive nothing in return. Only utilize the Purchase/Redemption options listed directly within Runestake.com
Stay Vigilant on Runestake.com
To protect yourself from these scams, always double-check the legitimacy of any offer, avoid clicking on unsolicited links, and never share sensitive information with unknown contacts. Stay safe and enjoy your time on Runestake.com!
