Select 'Settings' to open the settings page
You'll see different sections: Profile Settings, Account Settings, Privacy & Security, and more

Control What Shows on Your Public Profile

In the Profile Settings section, you'll see two main areas: Profile Settings and Account Settings. The Profile Settings section lets you decide which information appears when others visit your public profile.

Find the 'Profile Settings' section at the top of the page
You'll see 'Shards balance' with a green 'Public' button next to it
Below that is 'LIFETIME STATS' showing: Total Wagered, Total Won, Net Winnings, Games played, Highest win

After making changes, click 'Save' at the bottom right. If you want to undo your changes, click 'Reset' instead

Customize Your Avatar - Open the Editor

Your avatar is the cartoon character that represents you on Gamwiz. To customize it, look for your current avatar picture on the Profile Settings page and click on it, or find a button that says 'Change Avatar' or 'Edit Avatar'. This opens the Avatar Editor window.

The Avatar Editor appears as a window with a dark green background
On the left side, you'll see a large preview of your current avatar
Your username appears below the preview, followed by your loyalty tier badge (like 'WOOD')
On the right side, you'll see all the customization options organized into sections

Customize Your Avatar - Choose Face, Hair, and Features

In the Avatar Editor, scroll through the customization sections on the right. Each section has a title like 'FACE', 'HEAD', 'FACIAL HAIR', 'SKIN TONE', 'CLOTHING COLOR', and 'ACCESSORIES'. Click on any section to expand it and see your options.

FACE section: Choose expressions like 'Angry with Fang', 'Awe', or 'Blank'
HEAD section: Select hair style like 'Afro', 'Bear', or 'Flat Top'
FACIAL HAIR section: Choose 'Full 3', 'Goatee 1', or 'Moustache 1' (only one can be active at a time)
SKIN TONE section: Pick from options like 'Pale', 'Medium', 'Dark', 'Darker', or 'Deep' - each has a color circle to show the shade
As you click options, watch the preview on the left update instantly
You can try different combinations until you find one you like

Customize Your Avatar - Choose Clothing and Accessories

Continue customizing by selecting clothing colors and accessories. These options are in separate sections below the face and hair options.

CLOTHING COLOR section: Choose colors like 'Green', 'Blue', or 'Amber' - each has a color circle you can click
ACCESSORIES section: Select items like 'Glasses 3', 'Sunglasses', or 'Eyepatch'
The currently selected option is highlighted in green
You can mix and match different accessories with different clothing colors
Try the 'Surprise me' button below the preview to get a random combination
Use the 'Reset' button to go back to your original avatar if you don't like the changes

Save Your Avatar Changes

Once you're happy with your avatar, click the green 'Save' button at the bottom of the Avatar Editor window. This saves your new avatar and closes the editor. If you change your mind, click 'Cancel' instead.

The Save button is at the bottom right of the Avatar Editor window
It has a sparkle icon next to it
After clicking Save, you'll see a message confirming your avatar was updated
Your new avatar will appear everywhere on Gamwiz: your profile, in games, in chats, and on leaderboards
You can always come back and change it again later

Change Your Username

To change your username, go to the Account Settings section on the Settings page. You'll see your current username displayed (like '@peterjsad'). Below it, there's a button that says 'Visit Shard Shop →'. Click this button to go to the Shard Shop where you can purchase a new username.

Your current username shows in the Account Settings section
Usernames are special names that identify you on Gamwiz
Short usernames (1-4 characters) cost Shards (the reward currency you earn)
Longer usernames are usually free
In the Shard Shop, you can search for available usernames and see how much they cost
After purchasing a username, it becomes yours and appears on your profile

Change Your Theme

In the Account Settings section, you'll see a 'Theme' option. This controls how the Gamwiz website looks - whether it's light, dark, or uses special colors. Click the 'Change Theme' button to see your options and switch between different themes.

The Theme section shows your current theme (like 'Normal')
Click 'Change Theme' to open theme options
You can choose from themes like: Light (bright background), Dark (dark background), Warm Gaming (warm colors), or Cool Gaming (cool colors)
Each theme changes the colors of buttons, backgrounds, and text throughout the site
Changes apply instantly when you select a theme
You can switch themes anytime - it doesn't affect your games or account

Set Your Profile Visibility

Scroll down to the Privacy & Security section. Here you'll find 'Public Profile Visibility' which controls who can see your profile when they visit your profile page. Click the dropdown menu to choose: Private (nobody sees your profile), Friends (only approved friends see it), or Public (everyone can see it).

The Public Profile Visibility dropdown is near the top of Privacy & Security
Select 'Private' if you want complete privacy - nobody can see your profile
Select 'Friends' if you only want friends you've approved to see your profile
Select 'Public' if you want everyone to be able to view your profile
You can click 'Show as visitor' button to see how your profile looks to others
This helps you understand what information others can see before you save your settings

Control Individual Profile Fields

Below the profile visibility setting, you'll see 'Public Profile Fields' section. This lets you control each piece of information separately. You can make some things public while keeping others private.

In 'GENERAL' subsection: Control visibility of Profile picture, Online status, Friends count, and Profile Views
In 'LOYALTY & CURRENCY' subsection: Control visibility of Loyalty tier and Balance
Each field has a dropdown showing 'Public', 'Friends', or 'Private'
Click the dropdown next to any field to change who can see it
For example, you might want to show your loyalty tier publicly but keep your balance private
Changes save automatically when you select a new option

Manage Linked Accounts

In the Privacy & Security section, find 'Linked Contacts'. This shows which accounts you've connected to Gamwiz, like your email, Telegram, or Discord. You can see which are verified (confirmed) and which aren't connected yet.

Email: Shows 'Connected' in green if linked, 'Verified' in green if confirmed
Telegram: Shows 'Not Connected' in orange if not linked yet
Discord: Shows 'Not Connected' in orange if not linked yet
Connected accounts let you sign in or receive notifications through those services
You can link accounts by clicking on them and following the connection process
Verification helps keep your account secure

Set Friend Privacy Options

In the Privacy & Security section, find 'Friend Privacy'. This controls what your friends can see and do. You'll see three options with green 'Enabled' buttons: 'Allow friend requests', 'Show online status to friends', and 'Share current activity with friends'.

'Allow friend requests' - When enabled, other players can send you friend requests
'Show online status to friends' - When enabled, friends can see when you're online and playing
'Share current activity with friends' - When enabled, friends can see what game you're currently playing
Each option has an information icon (small 'i' in a circle) you can click for more details
You can enable or disable each option independently
These settings help you balance social features with privacy

Save All Your Changes

After making all your personalization changes, make sure to save them. Look for 'Save' buttons in each section. In Profile Settings, click 'Save' at the bottom. In Avatar Editor, click the green 'Save' button. Most other settings save automatically when you change them.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I change my avatar more than once?

Yes, you can change your avatar as many times as you want. Just go back to Settings, click on your avatar, and customize it again. There's no limit to how often you can update it.

What happens if I set my profile to Private?

If you set your profile to Private, nobody will be able to visit your profile page or see any of your information, even if individual fields are set to Public. Private means complete privacy - only you can see your profile information.

Do I have to pay to change my username?

It depends on the username you want. Short usernames (1-4 characters) cost Shards, which you earn through eligible activity. Longer usernames are usually free. Check the Shard Shop to see prices for specific usernames.

Can I make some profile fields public and others private?

Yes, that's exactly what the Public Profile Fields section is for. You can set each field individually - for example, showing your loyalty tier publicly while keeping your balance private. Just use the dropdown next to each field to choose who can see it.

Will changing my theme affect my games?

No, changing your theme only affects how the Gamwiz website looks - the colors, backgrounds, and text styling. It doesn't change anything about your games, your account balance, or your gameplay. It's purely cosmetic.

What's the difference between Public, Friends, and Private visibility?

Public means everyone on Gamwiz can see that information. Friends means only people you've approved as friends can see it. Private means nobody can see it except you. You can set your overall profile visibility and also control each field individually.
