Terms of use
Last updated: 27 October 2026
1. What this is about
Felt Club is an app for card games (President, Texas Hold’em, Crazy Eights) with friends and against bots, offered by CodeCraft, Matthias Steins (see legal notice).
2. Play chips, no real money
- Poker is played with play chips that have no monetary value only. Chips cannot be bought, sold, exchanged or paid out.
- There are no stakes and no winnings in money or goods. Using the app for gambling for money violates these terms.
- Play chips and placings count within a match only.
3. Purchases: “Felt Club complete” and “Felt Club Online”
There are two ways to use Felt Club fully. Both go through the App Store or Google Play; price and payment follow the respective store, which shows you the current price before you buy.
- “Felt Club complete” is a one-time purchase (not a subscription). It unlocks the app’s features permanently, as far as they are described as part of the purchase, and includes 40 online hours in total. If you bought “Felt Club complete” before “Felt Club Online” was introduced (version 1.1), you keep online rooms without a total limit, with the fair use of 20 hours per calendar month, as with the subscription.
- “Felt Club Online” is a subscription (monthly or yearly) and includes 20 online hours per calendar month (UTC). Unused hours do not carry over to the next month.
Renewal and cancellation. The subscription renews automatically for the chosen period unless you cancel in time before the current period ends (at least 24 hours before with Apple). You cancel only in your App Store or Google Play account (settings, subscriptions); deleting the app does not cancel. After cancelling, the subscription stays usable until the end of the paid period.
What counts. The time an online room that you opened is running counts against your allowance, even when others take part. Anyone who joins a room (a guest) never pays and uses no allowance. On Wi-Fi and in a hotspot you always play without a limit and without a purchase; these matches do not run through our server. When your online allowance is used up, the running online evening ends; you can keep playing on Wi-Fi or (with the subscription) use more hours next month or (with “complete”) get more hours with the subscription.
No transfer. The hours belong to the respective purchase. They cannot be transferred to another purchase or account, combined or paid out. A new purchase (for example after a subscription has ended, or an additional purchase) starts with its own hours. Restoring a purchase in the store also restores its usage so far.
Refunds. Withdrawal, refunds, invoices and restoring are governed by Apple’s or Google’s terms and your statutory rights. We do not refund purchases ourselves, because payment is with the store; please contact the store. There are no purchases of play chips.
4. First online evening
If you own neither “Felt Club complete” nor “Felt Club Online”, you can open one online evening for free, once per device. This is a voluntary offer that we may change or end; there is no entitlement to it. On Wi-Fi and in a hotspot you always play without this limit and without a purchase.
5. Conduct
- Player and room names must not infringe others’ rights and must not be insulting, discriminatory or unlawful. We may dissolve rooms that do.
- Do not use scripts, client manipulation or attacks on the backend, and do not circumvent protections (App Check, rate limits).
- Share invitation links only with people who should play.
- Agreements between players that deceive another player are against the spirit of the game.
6. Online rooms and fair use
Online rooms are private and time-limited (deletion periods in the privacy policy). We provide online play with best effort but owe no uninterrupted availability. Online rooms are subject to the allowances in section 3 and to fair use. In case of exceptionally high use, the online time per room may be limited. There is no limit on Wi-Fi.
7. Liability
We are liable without limit for intent and gross negligence, for injury to life, body or health, and under the Product Liability Act. For simple negligence we are liable only for breach of essential contractual obligations and limited to the foreseeable damage typical for the contract. Otherwise liability is excluded as far as legally permitted.
8. Changes, law
We may change these terms with effect for the future where a valid reason requires it; we announce material changes in the app. German law applies; mandatory consumer protection rules of your country of residence remain unaffected.
