BOTLOBBIESWhich Epic account should I link for the bot?
Authorize the Epic account you intend the service to use as the bot, and verify your real player's identity separately where the setup requests it. Check the displayed account before confirming rather than relying on the browser's existing Epic session.
Decide the role before opening authorization
The account you link supplies the identity that will appear as the hosted bot. Your real player is the account you actively control while playing Fortnite. These roles should be clear before you generate a code, particularly if your browser is already signed in to Epic under another account. Read the name shown on Epic's confirmation page and compare it with your plan. A successful authorization is only useful if it belongs to the intended account, not merely an account you can access.
Do not confuse later player verification with linking
The website can also ask for the name of the player who will use the bot. That step associates the owner or intended player with the setup and is separate from granting the bot account's authorization. If a name search offers several candidates, select the exact one rather than choosing the first result. The readiness flow can check whether that player is actually present in the party, so a wrong identity can remain hidden until the group tries to continue.
Stop when the identity does not match
If the summary shows the wrong Epic account, pause before starting access, creating a purchase, or inviting the resulting bot. Return through the supported linking controls and authorize the intended account. Do not try to repair an identity error by changing the bot's local nickname: that label does not transform the underlying Epic identity. If the account already belongs to a paid bot or a recovery flow, use that bot's own account-recovery action so the ownership checks remain tied to the correct record.
