Instead of going to court, you must resolve any legal dispute with Riot Games through binding individual arbitration, meaning a private arbitrator — not a judge or jury — decides the outcome.
This analysis describes what Riot Games's agreement states, permits, or reserves. It does not constitute a legal determination about enforceability. Regulatory applicability and practical outcomes may vary by jurisdiction, enforcement context, and individual circumstances. Read our methodology

Consumers lose access to the court system and class action mechanisms, leaving individual arbitration — which is often costly and less accessible — as the only dispute resolution path. This significantly limits practical legal recourse against Riot Games.
