Add or change my profile picture

How to add or change your photo

1. Go to Profile (bottom-right icon) then tap your current photo (a default avatar if you haven't set one).
2. Choose between:
   • Take a photo: opens your phone's camera.
   • Choose from gallery: select an existing image.
   • Remove photo: back to the default avatar.
3. The app offers a square crop (all profile pictures are square). Adjust with your fingers (zoom + move).
4. Confirm. The photo is immediately uploaded and visible on your profile.

Technical specifications:

• Format: JPG, PNG, or WebP.
• Max size: 5 MB.
• Minimum resolution: 200x200 pixels.
• Recommended resolution: 1000x1000 pixels (for a sharp result).
• Compression: we automatically re-optimize the image so it loads quickly everywhere in the app.

What's allowed and what's not

Allowed:

• ✅ Your real photo (selfie, portrait photo).
• ✅ A drawn avatar, a cartoon.
• ✅ The logo of your favorite sports team (as long as it's not a registered commercial trademark).
• ✅ A photo of a landscape, animal, or object (if it represents you symbolically).
• ✅ A family photo (but mind the privacy of the other people).

Not allowed:

• ❌ Sexual or suggestive content.
• ❌ Violence, gore, shocking content.
• ❌ Hate symbols (racism, homophobia, etc.).
• ❌ Flags or symbols of banned organizations.
• ❌ Logos of registered trademarks (Apple, Nike, etc. - image rights).
• ❌ A photo of a well-known personality (privacy, image rights).
• ❌ A photo of a minor who isn't you (the minor's privacy).
• ❌ An image used to impersonate another user or a personality.

Visibility of your photo

Your profile picture is public. It's visible:

• On your public profile (accessible via your handle).
• In the arena chat when you write a message.
• On the leaderboards and private leagues where you appear.
• Next to your publicly visible resolved bets (if you allow it).

If you'd rather not have a photo: keep the default avatar. That's totally OK. Many bettors keep the default avatar (a green KTK circle with their initial).

If you want to protect your privacy: use a drawing, an object, or a cartoon rather than your real photo. It's safer, especially if you bet large amounts (to avoid being identifiable).

Tips for a good photo

1. Crop in tight on the face (or the main subject). Since the photo is small when displayed (often 40x40 pixels in the chat), a close-up face is more recognizable than a landscape photo.

2. Good lighting. Not backlit, not in the dark.

3. A smile or a positive expression. You stand out better than with a very serious photo.

4. A simple background rather than a busy one. A plain background (white wall, sky) is more readable than a busy one (crowd, complicated scenery).

5. Authentic. A photo of you is more memorable and engaging than a generic meme.
