I am not sure that it gives FIDE ratings on your profile on the official FIDE page.
What is FIDE Online Arena? How does it work? Is FIDE Arena Elo = FIDE ELO
Sort:
In my opinion Fide arena players are stronger than in here. And yes, the FIDE official profiles recognise 
the FIDE arena ratings properly. See the image.
Sí, siempre ha habido una campaña muy muy muy rara (por parte de muchos maestros) contra FIDE OnLine Arena, y desde luego es la casa más seria, con muchísima diferencia. Nada que ver con el cachondeo del resto de casas. En FOA hay que realizar juego coherente, sin las chorradas que se ven en el resto de casas. Un 1500 se deja piezas aquí. Sin embargo para ganar a un 1000 en FOA tienes que hacerlo bien, sin tonterías.
Yes "estoy de acuerdo".
The only real flaw with online is it's so easy to cheat. If it wasn't easy to cheat it would be the same as OTB.
Are you really going to sit there and try to argue it takes some extra mental ability to be able to deal with the other player sitting in front of you and wooden pieces? Grow up. Chess is chess.
I'm just starting my adventure with chess, so I need to improve myself in the near future

Arena titles dont actually exist because the rating is not actually displayed as real rating on FIDE. It was a temporary money making machine who has been as of Dec2019 disavowed by FIDE in a press release on their website. So yeah, you can brag with the piece of paper to people unfamiliar with chess but no more than that.
Not really true what you write above and what someone else seem to agree with you on. Here is what FIDE had said about the online arena in a press release on their site (linked in one of the answers): Reply: Not really true what you claim (that they "disavowed" it); here is exactly what was written: 2. FIDE Online Arena was created under the management of private investors according to the agreement with the previous FIDE administration in 2014, without any tender or similar transparent procedure. Later on, World Chess has acquired these rights, and, as approved by the previous administration, it uses the platform to provide online ratings and titles. However, FIDE has no intention to use neither the platform nor its titles and ratings for any official events before conducting a proper examination of the matter and ensuring the proper functioning of the platform.

I was on the FIDE website and I found this FIDE Online Arena chess room. It promises a few things, but I found I am not fully understanding the concept.
Do the elo earned on FIDE arena count as FIDE elo, or just another online elo like on chess.com.
A FIDE Arena rating/title is kind like getting an online degree in "Life Experiences" yea its a degree, but it doesnt count for anything.
What rating does count for anything? Other than the rating itself....
complete interpretation of FOA is wrong among chess comunity which see only some fake titles, but not seeing just another playzone as it is
the major drawback i see in recent time, there are no stronger opponents, at least in rapid sections, hence for me is useless to subscribe there, also people leaving tournaments after just round 1 or 2 etc...

"there are no stronger opponents". try to subscrive one month and play there. you will realize you are still a very weak chess player. do not misinterpret small foa rating numbers as weak players.
I had subscription there, and I moved on.
Interesting

I totally agree.
You are wrong. Those are not "computer accounts"... I have played against them and they are real people. But the 1200 starting is just for no pro members and that rating is not official, so they have no profile photo, But the true members got to fight for an initial rating and they have a photo profile.
If they have this kind of photo are computers. But the system tells you so "if no real player appeared so you play against a bot"
I disagree. I played hundreds of games in there and i never founded a bot except in the cases of the system tells you so . But I do think you consider a bot what is not a bot. Why I know that? because a bot never changes its rating after a game.

Hello, I am new in the forums and I saw this topic. I tend to disagree that accounts there are computers. Can I see your account so I can check it out. You can check my account too. My opponents do not make the same mistakes over and over again.

She looks like a real person to me. She is a FIDE Arena employee. I think she is the one who emails people (if I am not mistaken). Where are the other "I've counted 48 bots so far". I am also new in FIDE arena. I just paid premium membership. My experience is very good so far. I read chess books. I am practicing here in chess.com. I play rated serious games there. And it is improving my game. Overall, it is getting me motivated to train hard. Trying to get AFM through rapid. And maybe will train blitz for arena IM if I cannot get it in rapid.

I don't deny that there might be a real person by that name (there's certainly a real person in the avatar picture) and that real person might be one of their employees. But a real person clearly isn't playing this account's games. Real people don't average a quarter of a second per move every move of every game. And they don't forget to recapture on the same queen exchange a dozen times. If you go to the Cheating Forum on this site, probably 100% of the people you ask will tell you that's a computer playing.
Now, to be clear, none of the games I played were FOA rated. You need a paying account to play those, and I don't have one. These were all played using the site's regular rating system. If you only play FOA rated games, that might explain why you haven't seen it.
Oh ok, maybe your points are correct. I have not experienced robot suspicion in the premium pool yet. All games I played so far feel so human.
About ratings, check lichess, some OTB 1800 ELO guys reach 2500 or 2700 there, they are 300-500 pts inflated comparing to the chess.com, and perhaps 1500 points inflated comparing to FOA. If you visit ICC, there are IMs or GMs with normally 2100 or 2200 ICC rating. So no site can be compared with real OTB ratings. But local players like to play lichess and present themselves arround chess clubs, that the are 2400 in blitz or 2600 in rapid or whatever....
I'm a bit confused with the whole "FIDE recognizes FIDE Arena" part - I don't have a FIDE rating and I'm not on FIDE Arena, so, you know, there's that.... But I assume there is some linkage between the two IDs, so that it can say, "Yeah this Chess Booster guy is 1823 FIDE but his Arena rating is 1640"?
With Lichess and chess.com, you don't know who you're playing, or how many accounts they have, so when people say "I'm 2000 on one, and 2200 on another and 1800 FIDE/USCF", you're just taking them at their word, right?
