Question 31

Accepted Answer

Eligible tip earnings are recorded in the wallet. Creators connect Stripe Connect and complete applicable identity and payout requirements before receiving payouts.

Question 32

Why can't I join a paid tournament?

Paid-entry eligibility depends on age, verified location, account status, event rules, and applicable provider or legal controls. D1 currently blocks paid-entry tournament participation for accounts located in Arizona, Arkansas, Connecticut, Delaware, Louisiana, Maryland, Montana, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Tennessee. Restrictions can change, and the absence of a block is not legal advice about your location.

Question 33

What can youth accounts do?

Accepted Answer

Users ages 13–17 require parent/guardian verification under D1 policy. They may join free tournaments but may not enter paid tournaments or receive cash tournament prizes.

Visit our Advertiser page to register as an advertiser. You can create campaigns, upload creatives, set targeting, and manage your budget all from the Ads Manager dashboard. All ads undergo AI and human review before serving.

Accepted Answer

No. D1 Arena operates a fully in-house advertising platform. We do not use Google AdSense or any external ad networks. This ensures better privacy and a cleaner viewing experience.

Accepted Answer

D1 Arena supports 45 languages, including English plus expanded European, Middle Eastern, African, and Asian language coverage. Use the language switcher in the footer to change languages.

Question 61

Do you support streamer-side overlay tools?

Accepted Answer

RTMP broadcasting software is still supported for ingest, but the old streamer-side overlay workflow was retired. D1 Arena now renders alerts, goals, polls, predictions, reward banners, and chat TTS viewer-side inside the D1 player, so every viewer can see and hear the experience in their own language.

Question 62

Where do streamers configure overlays now?

Accepted Answer

Go to Hub → Channel → Overlays. The unified 16:9 preview lets you toggle and position viewer alerts, the goal bar, polls/predictions, reward banners, D1 Frenzy, and chat TTS without copying overlay URLs into broadcast software.

Question 63

How does Chat TTS work?

Accepted Answer

Chat TTS is D1-native on the watch page. The streamer controls filters and trigger modes, while each viewer hears narration in their own preferred locale using paid-tier Polly where available and browser speech fallback where appropriate. Audio is not burned into the broadcast.

Question 64

Can I restrict who triggers TTS?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Trigger modes include every message, highlighted channel-reward messages, mod/VIP only, followers-only chat, and command-triggered messages. Streamers can also maintain blocked phrases so unwanted words are skipped even when a trigger fires.
