Why do I need to verify my phone number?

 We want to provide a safe and secure marketplace for the Gameflip community.  This extra step to collect and verify your phone number is necessary to convince us you are a real person who will not commit fraud, scam, or other abuses in our marketplace.

We keep your phone and your private information secured and confidential and we will not spam you.  We may occasionally contact you through your phone for security purpose, specifically when:

• We need to verify that it's you when logging in with an email & password from another device. You can also use our mobile app (iOS, Android) for 2-step verification instead.
• We detect suspicious activities on your account.
• We need to confirm a transaction you made after unable to reach you through other means (e.g. email).
