¶ What is a verified HypeHype account badge?
The verified badge is a visual indicator that allows the HypeHype community to easily identify notable and authentic creators, developers, players, groups, and organizations.
The badge indicates that HypeHype has confirmed that the account authentically belongs to the user or group it represents, and that they meet our criteria for the verification.
The badge is blue and appears next to a HypeHype user's account name in the feed, search results and on the profile.
If a profile does not have the badge next to their username, but displays it somewhere else on their profile (such as an emoji in their bio), it's not a HypeHype verified account.
Verified badges can only be applied by HypeHype and will appear in the same place for everyone, every time.
¶ Why does HypeHype have a verified account badge?
HypeHype's verified badge is an easy way for creators to let users know they’re seeing authentic games, comments and content.
It helps to build trust among creators, players and the community.
For content creators, influencers, game studios, non-profits, or official brand pages, the verified badge builds an important layer of trust and clarity within the HypeHype community.
