Getting Started

Try it first, without an account

You can play Rift Run and Puck Rally in the arcade and look at the battle pass before signing up. As a guest nothing is saved and nothing earns XP. Your last run is kept in your browser for a day: create an account, return to that game, and choose Claim it to put it on your record.

Highwater (climb a tower ahead of a rising flood), Last Light (survive ninety seconds of telegraphed hazards), and Hold the Line (a short tower defence) are open to guests too. A guest run in those three is not kept for later: sign in before you play if you want the score, the XP, and the items their best scores unlock. It is checked and counted like any other run. Picture challenges, lobbies, and tournaments need an account.

Create your account

1. Go to Register and sign up with your email and a password. You are signed in right away.
2. A confirmation email may arrive. Clicking it is optional. You can pick a gamertag and join events without it. (No email? See FAQ.)
3. Sessions stay active on your device. Log in again any time from the login page, and log out from the account menu.

Your first session: the Rookie Run

After you pick a gamertag you are offered one optional step: connect Steam or Discord. Skip it if you like.

Your dashboard then opens with the Rookie Run, five steps that tick themselves as you do them:

Together they are 100 XP, which is level 2. Each step pays once. There is nothing to claim and no deadline. When all five are done the panel goes away.

Onboarding: pick your gamertag

After your first login you'll choose:

• Gamertag — your public name everywhere on GamerHosts (leaderboards, brackets, teams, the feed). 3–24 characters; letters, numbers, _ and -; must start with a letter or number. You can change it later in Settings → Profile as long as the new tag is free.
• Games you play — the titles you compete in. These personalize your discover page and matchmaking suggestions.

Find your way around

Once you're in, the main areas are:

Recommended first steps

1. Link your game accounts (Settings → Connections) — a linked Riot account with a verified rank is required for rank-gated events, and linked Discord/Steam accounts power roles and verified stats. See Connected accounts.
2. Turn on notifications — enable browser push (the toggle on the Notifications page) so match-ready and event-start alerts reach you even when the tab is closed. See Feed, friends & notifications.
3. Join your first event — see Events & tournaments.
