Change of D&D Beyond Ownership

We are excited to announce that D&D Beyond will soon be joining Hasbro as part of the Wizards of the Coast family!

On May 18, 2022 or soon after, your D&D Beyond account will transfer to Wizards of the Coast, at which point (and going forward) the Wizards Terms of Use will apply to your use of D&D Beyond, and the Wizards Privacy Policy will apply to the personal data associated with your account. If you are located in the European Economic Area or the United Kingdom, Wizards of the Coast LLC will become the “data controller” of your personal data once it transfers. 

For more information on this transaction, please click here. If you wish to delete your account prior to the transfer, you will find instructions for doing so here.

Frequently asked questions

When will the D&D Beyond Terms of Service be updated?

The Terms of Service will be updated to Wizards of the Coast Terms of Service on or around May 18, 2022.

Why are they being updated?

As part of Wizards of the Coast acquiring D&D Beyond, we will extend the Wizards Terms of Service to cover this new service.

What is changing in them?

We need your permission to put your user content on D&D Beyond and operate the D&D Beyond service, and we’re working to ensure that the scope of the permission you give us is tailored to that goal. The Wizards Terms of Service will therefore be updated with a section specific to D&D Beyond to allow us to host your content and otherwise operate the D&D Beyond service.

Will Wizards own my homebrew content created on D&D Beyond?

Wizards has no intent of taking ownership over user content you put on D&D Beyond, and the Terms of Service will not grant us such rights. The permissions we will need for user content will relate to allowing us to operate the D&D Beyond service, including displaying that content on our site.

Do these changes affect homebrew content that was created before May 18?

Any content that remains on the D&D Beyond service will be subject to the updated Wizards Terms of Service. The updated Terms of Service should not impact how you've used the site or owned your content prior to May 18.

If I delete my D&D Beyond account, will my homebrew content remain on D&D Beyond? If so, will my username still be credited?

While your homebrew content will remain on D&D Beyond, the credited username will change to “user-[number].”

Will Wizards own any character or account information I upload (e.g. character sheets, profile pictures)?

Wizards has no intent of taking ownership over user content you put on D&D Beyond, and the Terms of Service will not grant us such rights. The permissions we will need for that content will relate to allowing us to operate the D&D Beyond service, including displaying that content on our site.

Will I need a Wizards account to access or sign up for D&D Beyond after May 18?

No. You can continue to use your Twitch or Google account or Apple ID to sign into D&D Beyond. New users will still need a Twitch or Google account or Apple ID to sign up for D&D Beyond after May 18.
