Chat Rules

In Short

Chat in Poker Game is built for conversation around the table: discussing hands, celebrating good calls, or exchanging friendly banter with opponents.

Rules are few, focusing on mutual respect and a comfortable atmosphere. Floorman, our system moderator, keeps an eye on the public chat. Nobody reads or monitors private conversations.

What Is Forbidden

There are five simple rules in public chat, each with a clear practical reason.

• Links and website addresses. External URLs, domains, and messenger contact handles. The game is a self-contained poker world, and the chat is not meant to redirect players elsewhere.
• Selling or trading chips for money. Offers to buy, sell, or swap chips for real money. Chips are free and worth nothing outside the game, and these offers almost always end in a scam. Asking whether the game has deposits or cash-outs is fine — that is an ordinary question, not a violation.
• Advertising. Promoting other games, external casinos, betting sites, or sportsbooks. Chat is for table conversation, not advertising.
• Profanity and vulgarity. Debating hands, teasing opponents, or venting frustration over a bad beat is normal. Crossing into explicit abuse and vulgarity is not allowed.
• Harassment and personal attacks. Direct insults targeting specific players, persistent table stalking, or mocking someone who just lost a hand.

Links, advertising and profanity are rejected the moment you hit send — the message never reaches the chat. Selling chips for money and harassment are reviewed by a person: those turn on intent, which words alone cannot settle.

Violations and Consequences

We never aim to punish players and always try to keep your seat at the table.

If a message contains an external link, profanity, or real-money references, it simply will not be sent. Nobody sees it in chat, and you get a prompt explaining why it was blocked.

For harassment or toxicity, Floorman forwards the message to a human moderator. A person makes the final call: a warning or a temporary chat mute. A mute only affects sending messages — you can still sit at tables and play tournaments.

Moderation decisions are made by people, and mistakes happen. If context was misunderstood, you can contest the restriction through feedback.

How to Report a Message

If someone disrupts the game or breaks rules, there is no need to argue.

Click or tap any message in public chat to send a report straight to the moderator queue. You can report inappropriate private messages the exact same way — this is the only case where private text is ever opened by a moderator.

Private Messages and Whispers

Private communication stays completely confidential.

Direct messages in messenger and table whispers are never read automatically. No algorithms scan your private chats with friends. The only reason a private message is ever inspected is an explicit report filed by the person who received it.
