However, as is usually the case whenever a new technology is released in the market, there are many concerns regarding its security and safety.
We, at now.gg, believe that the privacy of our users is of the utmost importance. Therefore, we are deeply committed to delivering a completely safe and reliable gaming experience. Our Privacy Policy clearly details the data we do capture and what we do with it.
In the following section, we’ll answer some of the most common questions regarding the security and safety of gaming on now.gg.
How can I know that now.gg is safe?
It’s ALWAYS safe to play on now.gg.This is not only because we follow the precepts of our Privacy Policy but also because when you’re playing any game on now.gg, your device isn’t actually downloading or running any files in the background.
In fact, the game itself is running on our servers (powerful computers) in the Cloud where all the rendering and processing is done.You are essentially interacting with the game being streamed via the Internet(like watching a YouTube video, except that it is interactive)to a web browseron your phone, tablet, PC, or any other device.
In a nutshell, since now.gg is simply streaming an interactive video within a web browser on your device, it cannot technically install any harmful files or malware or execute malicious code.
When I log into my Google account, I immediately get an email from Google prompting me to confirm my identity. Why does this happen?
If you’ve played on now.gg before and have tried to link your Google account to load or save your progress in any given game, there’s a good chance that you had to type in your credentials to login. Once you’ve logged in, you may have also received an email from Google saying that someone has logged into your account using an unknown device and that your security could be at risk.
This notification is a standard safety measure from Google to let users know that their account security could be compromised. However, this measure is not exclusive to logging into your account from now.gg. Google sends you that email notification whenever you log in to your account from a new device, e.g., when you purchase a new phone or log in to access your games or apps from a new device.
When you play a game on your mobile phone or PC, the game is always launched on that same device. However, when you play on now.gg, the game is launched on the first server, which is free and available for use. When you stop playing, now.gg reclaims, refreshes, and reuses that server for another gamer. For this reason, every time you login to your Google account from now.gg, you are using a different now.gg server and are essentially logging in from a new device.
It should comfort you to know that whenever you log into your Google account from now.gg and receive this type of security notification, it doesn’t mean that your account is at risk. It is just indicating that you have, in fact, logged in successfully from now.gg.
When I log into my Google account on now.gg, I get a security notification on my phone claiming that I’m trying to login from a location that’s different from where I currently am.
Another safety concern when playing on now.gg is that some users, after logging in, receive a notification or email from Google stating that someone has accessed their accounts using an unknown device and from an unexpected location, such as another city, state, or even a different country. While this could be a cause for concern in the normal course, this is the expected behavior due to how now.gg functions.
As we mentioned above, whenever you’re playing on now.gg, the game is rendered on a server on the Cloud, and you’re actually streaming the game to your device via the Internet. The now.gg servers are distributed on the Cloud, physically located in several different regions around the world.
For this reason, whenever you login to your Google account from now.gg, Google recognizes and notifies you that the server on which you’re currently playing is located in a country unexpectedly different from your home country.
Can now.gg steal my game login credentials or personal financial info?
now.gg has no access to your game login credentials or any other personal financial data provided by you when you’re playing a game.
While the game is indeed running on the now.gg Cloud, the login prompt is coming from within the Android game. The game is collecting that data and processing it within its own security envelope. It is neither visible nor accessible to now.gg.
An incidental benefit of gaming on now.gg is that because the game runs on our remote servers, you don’t have to grant any special access permissions on your devices, further enhancing your security.
Will I get banned in any game because of now.gg?
The now.gg server is essentially a powerful Android computer that is running remotely on our Cloud.
Playing on now.gg servers is the same as playing on an Android phone that can be accessed remotely from any other device. Hence, you should not get banned.
How can I contact you at now.gg?
If you’d still like to talk to us, feel free to send us an email atsupport@now.gg. We have a dedicated Support staff who can answer any and all queries you have.
We hope you now have a better understanding of why now.gg is absolutely safe to use! Happy Gaming!
