What Krafton Is Checking (The Critical Details)
Teams report issues from mismatched UIDs, in-game names, government IDs, or incomplete profiles despite meeting Level 30+ and Platinum V+ requirements.
Krafton’s verification focuses on:
- Government ID Match: Every detail (name, DOB, spelling) must match your in-game profile exactly
- UID Verification: Your registered UID must match your actual in-game UID
- In-Game Name (IGN): Must align perfectly with registration submission
- Profile Completeness: All four squad members’ details must be 100% complete
- Citizenship & Age: Must be verified Indian citizen aged 16+
- One-Player-One-Team Rule: A single player cannot register with multiple squads
What You Must Do RIGHT NOW
1. DON’T RESUBMIT: Players should avoid last-minute resubmissions to prevent delays during the official window spanning January 5–7
2. VERIFY YOUR DETAILS: Log into the Krafton Esports portal and cross-check:
- All four players’ government IDs match exactly
- UIDs are correct without typos
- In-game names are spelled precisely
- All profiles show 100% completion
3. MONITOR (Don’t Panic): Krafton assures that correctly submitted profiles will clear by January 8, urging patience amid high traffic glitches
4. PREPARE FOR QUALIFIERS: In-Game Qualifiers will run January 8–14, 2026, where only 1,016 teams advance from qualifiers
If Your Status Shows “Pending” or “Failed”
Double-check details on the Krafton Esports portal without resubmitting to avoid delays. If verification actually fails by January 8:
- Check for spelling errors in names
- Confirm exact government ID match
- Verify age (must be 16+)
- Ensure squad has exactly 4 members
