Getting started
What is GamingBox?
GamingBox is a free online games platform where you play chess, Chinese chess, poker and dozens of card and board games — live against real players or offline vs AI. No download, and no real-money gambling.
Do I need an account?
You can browse every game freely. Sign in with Google, email or as a guest to save your gold, ELO, achievements and match history across devices.
Learning a new game
Every game has a built-in step-by-step tutorial and a practice-vs-AI mode. Open any game's “How to play” guide before your first match.
Playing online
Live rooms & matchmaking
Tap Play now for instant matchmaking, or create a room and share the link to play a friend. Creating and joining rooms is always free.
Practice vs AI
Chess and Chinese chess include an adjustable AI opponent, so you can train any time without waiting for a human.
Fair matchmaking & ELO
Wins and losses update your ELO rating (K=32). The medal next to your name — Bronze to Grandmaster — is derived from that rating.
Gold & rewards
How gold works
Gold is the in-game currency for match entries. Creating, joining or cancelling a room is free; gold only moves when a game ends — the winner takes 90%.
Earning free gold
Claim the daily reward, spin the Lucky Wheel three times a day, finish quests, and win matches to top up your balance.
Gems & speed-ups
Gems are a premium currency that instantly solve resource problems — convert them to gold or skip timed tasks whenever you're short.
Account & fair play
Are guest accounts permanent?
No — a guest account lives in your browser storage. Link Google, Facebook, email or phone to keep your ELO, gold and titles long-term.
Community & conduct
No cheating, bots or abusive chat in PvP. You can report or block any player, and blocked players disappear from every channel.
Is this real-money gambling?
No. Gold and gems have no cash value and can't be withdrawn or exchanged for money. Every game is for entertainment only.
