No. While you don’t have to be verified to create a group, we highly recommend verifying as it makes the process a lot easier and gives you the most functionality as the Group Owner. Verification only takes about a minute - it's free and secure.

As group leaders are responsible for moderating the content that appears in their group, we strongly recommend to read and understand the BateWorld Terms of Service (ToS), Content Standards and Community Guidelines to ensure the group thrives within these guidelines and does not become at risk of removal through any ToS violations.
