Rats at the Table

Terms of Use

Last updated: September 29, 2026

Rats at the Table is an online social deduction board game. These terms explain the rules that apply while you use it. By opening the game and creating an account you accept them.

1. Who publishes this game

The game is published by:

2. Who may play

The game is not for children under 13. If you are under 13 you may not create an account.

If you are below the age of majority where you live, you may use the game only with the knowledge and consent of a parent or legal guardian. In that case your parent or guardian accepts these terms on your behalf and is responsible for any in-app purchases.

In the European Union the age at which you can give consent yourself for consent-based processing ranges from 13 to 16 depending on the country. If you are below the age set in your country, a parent or guardian must give that consent.

If an account of yours was closed for breaking these rules, you may not come back by opening a new one.

3. Your account

There are two kinds of account. A guest account lives only on the key stored on that one device: if you delete the app or change phones, that account is gone for good. If you link a Google or Apple account it becomes permanent and you can sign in from another device.

Your account is personal. You may not sell, rent, transfer or share it, and keeping your sign-in secure is your responsibility.

The name you choose is visible to everyone at the table, in lists and in notifications. You may not use a name that impersonates someone else, insults, carries hate speech or advertises; we may change such a name.

When you sign in with Google or Apple for the first time and there is no guest account to upgrade, the display name on that account becomes your name in the game. You can change it in Settings at any time.

4. Rules at the table

The game has both canned lines and free-text chat. What you write goes to the other players at your table. The following are not allowed:

This is a game of deception: bluffing, lying and playing a part are the game itself. What is forbidden is not the fiction at the table but a real attack on the person sitting at it.

5. Reporting, blocking and consequences

If a player's name or behavior is not acceptable you can report and block them from the table or from their profile. A blocked player cannot send you a friend request, and at the table neither of you sees the other's messages or reactions.

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive users. We review reports within 24 hours; depending on how serious a breach is we may warn you, change your name, remove content, suspend the account temporarily or close it. For serious breaches we act without prior warning.

If your account is closed, your in-game balance and items are lost and are not compensated.

6. Respect and in-game items

Respect is a counter inside the game. It has no monetary value, cannot be cashed out, cannot be transferred between players and means nothing outside the game.

For in-game items, neighborhoods and appearances you receive a personal, non-transferable right to use them, not ownership.

Respect you buy with real money never expires.

Open Night is not a balance but a service with a fixed duration: it starts when you buy it, its length is stated on the purchase screen, and it ends when that time is up. It can only be bought with respect.

7. Purchases and refunds

All purchases go through the store you installed the app from. We never see or store your payment details; the store takes the payment.

Refunds follow that store's rules and are decided by the store, not by us. When a purchase is refunded we take back the respect it granted. If you have already spent it, we take back what you bought with respect after that purchase (cosmetics, neighborhood properties and crew), starting with what you bought first, until the refunded amount is covered; if the last item is worth more than what was still owed, the difference is returned to your balance. Whatever cannot be recovered this way remains as a negative balance, which your future winnings pay off; while your balance is negative you cannot buy anything with respect.

If three refunds occur on the same account, new purchases are closed for that account. You can still manage your subscription and use what you already own.

Your statutory right of withdrawal is unaffected. Because digital content is delivered immediately, you agree at the time of purchase that delivery begins right away.

8. The Family membership (subscription)

The Family is an auto-renewing subscription. It is charged to your store account at the start of each period and renews automatically unless canceled.

To cancel, use the subscription section in your device's store settings. To stop the next renewal you must cancel at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Deleting your account in the app does not cancel the subscription.

If you cancel, your membership runs until the end of the period you paid for.

Membership gives no advantage at the table: no cards, no information, no extra time and no turn priority are for sale. What it gives is the right to host certain tables, a larger seat allowance and appearance privileges.

9. The game's numbers can change

Rewards, prices, the size of the seat allowance and how fast it refills are managed from the server and may change to keep the game balanced. Changes are not retroactive: a match that has already started pays out according to the settings in force when it began.

We do not reduce what something bought with real money is worth after you have bought it.

10. The service is not uninterrupted

The game may be interrupted by maintenance, updates, faults or causes outside our control. We try to bring you back to your table after a lost connection, but you accept that a table in progress may break up.

We may discontinue the game or any of its features. If we do, we will try to give reasonable notice.

11. Deleting your account

You can close your account from inside the app, under Settings, with 'Delete account'. Deletion cannot be undone.

What is deleted and what is kept is set out item by item in the Privacy Policy. In short: your game history and profile are deleted, and your purchase records are kept detached from your identity because tax and chargeback rules require it.

If you have an active subscription you must cancel it separately in the store.

12. Warranty and liability

The game is provided as is. We do not promise that it will run without interruption or without errors.

To the extent permitted by applicable law we are not liable for indirect damage, loss of profit, loss of data, or loss of in-game balance or items. This limit does not affect the consumer rights you have that cannot be excluded by contract, and it does not apply to intent or gross negligence.

13. Governing law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Türkiye. This does not affect the rights you have under the mandatory consumer law of the country where you live, and you keep the right to bring proceedings in the courts of that country.

14. Changes

We may update these terms. We will tell you inside the app about important changes; the date at the top of this page shows which version you are reading. Continuing to play after a change means you accept the new version.
