Safety tips

MeetPlayRepeat helps you plan get-togethers with people you may not know well yet. Events are organized by members, not by us, so a little planning goes a long way. These tips are general guidance, not a guarantee of safety.

Before you go

• Look at the group and the host. Check their profiles, how long the group has been active, and what other members say.
• Meet in public first. When you don't know people yet, choose a café, park, game store or other public place before meeting in someone's home.
• Tell someone your plans. Share where you're going, who you're meeting and when you expect to be back.
• Plan your own way there and home. Have your own transportation, or a ride you trust, so you can leave whenever you want.

At the event

• Trust your instincts. If something feels wrong, leave. You never owe anyone an explanation.
• Keep an eye on your drink. Don't leave it unattended, and don't accept drinks you didn't see poured.
• Drink responsibly. Know your limits, and never drink and drive.
• Keep valuables with you. Bring only what you need.

Protect your information

• Share personal details at your own pace. You don't have to give anyone your home address, workplace or phone number.
• Hosts can hide the address. An event can keep its address hidden until someone RSVPs.
• Keep conversations in the app until you're comfortable moving them elsewhere.

Money

• Pay members directly, through a service you trust. MeetPlayRepeat doesn't collect, hold or move money between members, and we take no cut.
• Event fees cover shared costs only, such as food, supplies or a venue, and never alcohol.
• Shared pots follow strict rules. Everyone taking part is 21 or older, everyone plays on equal terms, and every dollar put in is paid back out to players.
• Be wary of anyone asking for money for reasons unrelated to an event, or asking you to pay outside the group's usual methods.

If you're hosting

• Know who's coming. Use RSVPs and capacity limits so you know who to expect.
• Keep your space safe. Clear trip hazards, know where exits and first-aid supplies are, and follow any house or venue rules.
• If alcohol is served, follow the law: no serving minors or anyone visibly intoxicated, and no selling alcohol.

Report and block

• Report anything that worries you. You can report messages, photos, profiles, groups and events in the app. We review reports within 24 hours.
• Block anyone you don't want to hear from. Go to their profile and choose Block. You can see and manage blocked people in Settings → Privacy.

In an emergency

Call 911 in the US, or your local emergency number, if you or someone else is in danger. Contact the police before contacting us.
