Terms of Service

2. Eligibility

You must be 18 years of age or older to use PlayStump.

By participating, you represent that you are legally permitted to use the service in your jurisdiction.

You are responsible for complying with applicable local laws.

We may restrict access where required by law or necessary to protect the platform.

3. Free-to-Play Entertainment

PlayStump is provided solely for entertainment.

No purchase, payment, cryptocurrency deposit, or financial investment is required to participate.

All gameplay uses free virtual credits.

PlayStump does not offer real-money gambling, cash prizes, cryptocurrency payouts, or monetary rewards.

Virtual credits have no monetary value and cannot be purchased, sold, transferred for value, withdrawn, exchanged, or redeemed for money, cryptocurrency, goods, services, or anything else of value.

References to stakes, pots, winnings, doubling, or payouts describe virtual gameplay mechanics only.

4. Accounts and Guest Play

You may participate as a guest or sign in using supported authentication methods, including Google, email, or a Solana wallet.

Guest players receive a random player identifier stored in their browser.

Guest winnings and XP may be claimed by signing in, subject to successful account linking and the availability of the guest record.

Registered players may choose an optional username and preserve eligible progress across devices.

You agree to provide accurate information where requested and to maintain the security of your account.

You are responsible for activity conducted through your account, except where prohibited by applicable law.

We may restrict accounts used for impersonation, cheating, manipulation, or other prohibited conduct.

5. Gameplay Rules

A standard PlayStump table consists of one host and three blind guessers.

The host creates or selects a question containing five possible answers and locks the correct answer before guessing begins.

Each guesser independently selects an answer without seeing the other guessers’ choices.

The host may provide a helpful or misleading hint, as permitted by the game rules.

Winning Conditions

• If at least one guesser answers correctly, all three guessers receive twice their individual virtual stakes.
• If all three guessers answer incorrectly, the host receives twice their virtual stake.

The host and guessers collectively contribute to a virtual pot worth twice the host’s stake.

A player may host up to two unsettled games at a time.

Game outcomes are determined according to the applicable published rules and verification procedures.

6. Virtual Credits and Restocks

New players begin with 1,000 free virtual credits.

Players whose current balance falls below 30 credits may claim a restock restoring their balance up to 1,000 credits.

Restocks are subject to the following conditions:

• There is no daily limit — a restock may be claimed whenever the balance is below 30 credits.
• Every account begins with 1,000 credits and receives 1,000 lifetime restocks. Each restock restores your balance to 1,000 credits and can be claimed whenever your balance falls below 30 credits.

  Once all 1,000 restocks are exhausted, you have three choices:

  A. Keep Playing for Fun

  Continue playing on your existing account with unlimited restocks. Your titles and emblems remain intact, but all progression freezes permanently. Your peak balance, Host titles, and Guesser titles can no longer advance. You can play indefinitely, but you cannot earn new achievements on this account.

  B. Rebirth

  Reset your existing account to 1,000 credits with a fresh 1,000 restocks. This permanently erases all previously earned titles, emblems, and progression on that account, allowing you to climb again from the beginning.

  Any physical medallion previously shipped to you remains yours, but you cannot claim or receive the same medallion again after Rebirth, even if you earn that title again. This limit applies per person, not per account — creating a new account does not earn a second medallion for the same title.

  C. Start a New Account

  Create a new account with 1,000 credits and a fresh 1,000 restocks. Your previous account remains untouched, preserving all earned titles, emblems, and achievements. Your new account begins its own journey from the bottom.

• Restocks must be manually claimed.
• Eligibility is checked when the player submits the claim.
• Balances of 30 credits or more are not eligible.

Restocks may be claimed through supported account or balance interfaces.

We may investigate or restrict restock activity involving fraud, automated abuse, or manipulation.

Virtual credits remain part of the game and do not constitute personal property, stored monetary value, or a financial account.

7. Achievements, Rankings, and Titles

PlayStump features three progression systems:

The Climb: Recognition based on a player’s highest achieved virtual-credit balance.

Host Titles: Recognition based on lifetime virtual credits won while hosting.

Guesser Titles: Recognition based on lifetime virtual credits won while guessing.

Earned titles are designed to remain part of a player’s achievement history even if their credit balance decreases.

Rankings, statistics, XP, and achievements are virtual indicators of gameplay performance and have no monetary value.

We may correct achievements or balances affected by technical errors, fraudulent activity, or violations of these Terms.

8. Random Matchmaking and Game Verification

PlayStump uses published matchmaking procedures, including random draws seeded with Solana blockhashes, to assign eligible guessers to tables.

Where supported, players can independently verify draws using the information presented on game cards.

The platform also uses cryptographic answer commitments to support verification of locked answers after a game concludes.

This verification does not eliminate every possible technical risk or guarantee uninterrupted service.

Players acknowledge that network interruptions and software errors may occasionally affect gameplay or verification.

9. Fair Play and Prohibited Conduct

PlayStump encourages strategy, creativity, and deception within the established game rules.

However, the following conduct is prohibited:

• Collusion between hosts and guessers to manipulate outcomes.
• Coordinated or fraudulent gameplay intended to exploit the credit system.
• Use of multiple accounts to circumvent platform restrictions.
• Bots, scripts, or unauthorized automation used to gain unfair advantages.
• Exploiting bugs, vulnerabilities, or technical errors.
• Manipulating matchmaking or cryptographic verification.
• Harassment, threats, impersonation, or abusive conduct.
• Attempts to access another player’s account or private information.

Misleading hints are permitted. Manipulating locked answers or violating game integrity is not.

We may investigate suspected violations and take proportionate action, including invalidating affected games, correcting virtual balances, suspending accounts, or permanently restricting access.

10. User-Generated Questions and Content

Players may submit original questions, answer choices, hints, usernames, and other gameplay content.

You are responsible for the content you submit.

You agree not to submit content that:

• Violates applicable laws or third-party rights.
• Contains unlawful threats, targeted harassment, or hateful abuse.
• Reveals another person’s private or confidential information without authorization.
• Contains malicious code, spam, or fraudulent links.
• Deliberately undermines the fairness of a question through invalid or conflicting answers.

Misleading hints are allowed within the rules. However, a host must designate a valid correct answer before the game begins.

You retain ownership of your original content.

By submitting content, you grant PlayStump a nonexclusive, worldwide, royalty-free license to host, store, reproduce, display, and distribute that content as reasonably necessary to operate, moderate, verify, and promote the game.

You represent that you have the necessary rights to submit the content and grant this license.

We may remove content that violates these Terms or threatens platform integrity.

11. Incomplete Games, Disconnections, and Errors

Games may occasionally be interrupted by connection failures, inactive participants, insufficient matchmaking availability, or technical errors.

A game that has not settled within 24 hours expires, and all virtual stakes for that game are refunded in full.

PlayStump may cancel, pause, or invalidate affected games where necessary to preserve fairness.

Virtual stakes associated with canceled or invalidated games will be handled according to the applicable game-state and credit-restoration rules.

We may correct balances, results, or rankings affected by verified technical errors.

We do not guarantee uninterrupted matchmaking or that every game will be completed.

12. Solana Wallets and Third-Party Services

Players may use supported Solana wallets for authentication.

PlayStump does not require players to deposit cryptocurrency or transfer financial assets to participate in ordinary gameplay.

You are responsible for protecting your wallet credentials, private keys, and recovery phrases.

Never share your recovery phrase or private keys with anyone claiming to represent PlayStump.

Third-party services, including wallet providers and authentication platforms, operate under their own terms and privacy policies.

PlayStump is not responsible for independent third-party services except as required by applicable law.

13. Intellectual Property

The PlayStump name, logos, visual designs, original artwork, game interface, software, and other proprietary materials are owned by PlayStump or its respective licensors.

Except as permitted by applicable law or with prior authorization, you may not copy, reproduce, distribute, sell, or commercially exploit these materials.

Nothing in these Terms transfers ownership of PlayStump intellectual property to users.

14. Privacy

Your use of PlayStump is also governed by our Privacy Policy, available at:

https://playstump.com/privacy

Our Privacy Policy explains how we collect, use, retain, and protect player information.

15. Account Suspension and Termination

We may suspend, restrict, or terminate access when reasonably necessary to:

• Enforce these Terms.
• Prevent fraud, cheating, or security threats.
• Comply with applicable law.
• Protect other players or the integrity of the platform.

Where appropriate, we may provide notice or an opportunity to appeal.

Users may request account deletion by contacting PlayStump.

Termination may result in loss of access to virtual credits, XP, rankings, and other account features, subject to applicable law and our Privacy Policy.

PlayStump reserves the right to suspend or terminate any account it believes to be a bad actor acting with malicious intent, a bot or automated account, or an account used in a manner that intentionally creates a bad user experience for others.

16. Availability and Changes to the Service

PlayStump is an evolving platform.

We may introduce, modify, suspend, or discontinue features, game modes, virtual-credit mechanics, or other functionality.

We will endeavor to communicate material changes that significantly affect players.

We do not guarantee continuous, uninterrupted, or error-free availability.

17. Disclaimer of Warranties

To the extent permitted by applicable law, PlayStump is provided on an “as is” and “as available” basis.

We make no guarantee that the service will always be available, free from defects, or compatible with every device or browser.

Nothing in these Terms excludes warranties or rights that cannot lawfully be excluded.

18. Limitation of Liability

To the maximum extent permitted by applicable law, PlayStump and its operators will not be liable for indirect, incidental, special, consequential, or punitive damages arising from use of the service.

This includes, where legally permitted, losses arising from interrupted gameplay, unavailable accounts, virtual-credit adjustments, or technical failures.

Nothing in these Terms limits liability that cannot legally be excluded or restricted.

19. Governing Law

These Terms are governed by the laws of the State of Florida, United States, without regard to conflict-of-law principles, except where mandatory consumer-protection laws require otherwise.

Disputes will be subject to the jurisdiction of courts of competent authority, consistent with applicable law.

20. Changes to These Terms

We may update these Terms to reflect changes in gameplay, technology, operations, or legal requirements.

The effective date will be updated when changes are published.

Where legally required, we will provide additional notice or seek consent for material changes.

Continued use after changes take effect constitutes acceptance where permitted by law.
