Playing online

Terms of use

Karma is a card game for families and friends. Playing the house and pass-and-play happen entirely on your device. Playing online puts you at a table with other people, and these terms are the price of that seat.

There is no tolerance for objectionable content or abusive players. Anyone who breaks these terms is removed from online play.

01

What you agree to

By playing online you agree that you will not:

  • choose a name that is offensive, hateful, sexual, threatening, or that pretends to be somebody else;
  • harass, threaten, bully or abuse another player;
  • use the game to target anybody for their race, religion, gender, sexuality, disability, nationality or any other part of who they are;
  • cheat, or interfere with the game or with other people’s games.

02

How names are checked

Every name shown at an online table or on the leaderboard is checked by the server before anybody else sees it, and names that fail are refused. No filter catches everything, which is why the next two sections exist.

03

Reporting and blocking

Tap the beside any other player’s name — at a table, in a lobby, or on the leaderboard — to report or block them.

Report sends us their name and where you saw it. Block hides them from you straight away, stops you being matched or seated with them again, and also tells us, so we can look at it. The player is never told who reported or blocked them.

04

What we do about it

We review every report within 24 hours. If a name or a player breaks these terms, we remove the name and eject the player from online play — no new tables, no matchmaking, and no place on the leaderboard. Solo and pass-and-play keep working, because they never involve anybody else.

05

Contact

To report something urgent, appeal a decision, or ask anything at all, write to karma@whatwedocollective.com.

06

Everything else

The app is licensed to you under Apple’s standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement on the App Store, and under Google Play’s terms on Android. These terms add to those; they do not replace them. How your data is handled is in the privacy policy.
