# Launch status: not accepting customers yet

> NetCraftGames is built and tested locally but is not accepting customers. Checkout and server provisioning stay off until sixteen launch checks pass with fresh, real evidence. On October 3, 2026, none has passed. This page is updated when that changes.

## Where things stand

> **Not open**
>
> NetCraftGames is **pre-launch**. No customer has been charged, no customer game has been hosted, and no uptime has been measured. You can join the [waitlist](https://netcraftgames.com/waitlist/).


## What exists today

- A working application and its tests, run on a developer machine: dashboard, releases, checks, wake and sleep, usage, incidents, and reports.
- Gated adapters for payments, email and cloud provisioning that refuse to act until launch checks pass.
- A static reader for submissions, deterministic failure advice, and a 24-hour target tracker, tested locally.
- A demo mode in which payments, machines, email and AI results are simulated and labelled as such.

## What does not exist yet

- Any deployment to the internet, a purchased domain, or a live payment, email or cloud account.
- Real tests with real engines and clients. Synthetic test results are not counted as evidence.
- Uptime, support hours, a published remedy for a missed 24-hour target, or published Terms.

## The launch checks

Each check needs recorded, hash-verified live evidence, tied to the exact release being launched, reviewed by a named person and no older than the stated limit. Expired evidence switches checkout and provisioning back off. A configuration switch alone cannot turn them on.
