Our Anti-Abuse & Harassment Policy

Sling Money is committed to creating a respectful, safe, and inclusive environment. Since Sling Money allows you to send a message and photo along with your transfer, our policy applies to all content shared on the platform — including text, images, and emojis.

The following behavior is not permitted:

  • Hate speech — promoting violence or discrimination based on race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, gender, or other protected characteristics.

  • Cyberbullying — threats, harassment, or abusive behavior directed at individuals, whether known or unknown to you. Often this persists over time and involves an imbalance of power.

  • Spamming — repeatedly sending the same or irrelevant messages to an individual or group.

  • Doxxing — revealing personal, sensitive information such as addresses, social security numbers, phone numbers, email accounts, etc., with or without intention to intimidate or harm an individual.

  • Promotion of illegal activities — encouraging or endorsing unlawful behavior, such as substance misuse, theft, or hacking.

  • Sharing of intimate images — sharing explicit photos or images, with or without consent of the people involved

  • Encouragement of self-harm or suicide — promoting harmful behaviors toward oneself or others

  • Predatory behavior — images or messages that aim to belittle or intimidate an individual or group, or that intend to exploit or take advantage of others, particularly minors or vulnerable individuals, i.e. grooming behavior.

Should you receive or come across content that is in violation of our policy, please report it to us by emailing [email protected].

We take all reports seriously and will take swift action against any violations.

Blocking a user

You can block other users in the app. Tap on their profile picture and select 'Block'. This will:

  • Prevent the blocked user from finding you in the Sling Directory

  • Stop them from requesting or sending you money

The person is not notified that you blocked them, and you can unblock them at any time.
