Site rules

1. General provisions

These rules describe how to behave on the MPoly platform: in matches, chats, the market and trades. By registering or signing in, you accept them in full.

Not knowing the rules is no excuse. If a situation isn't covered here, use common sense and don't spoil the game for other people.

• One person, one account. Creating extra accounts to get around a ban, inflate ratings or accept your own trades is prohibited.
• The rules apply to every section of the site: matches, chats, the market, the inventory, trades and your profile.

2. Account and security

• Your login and password are your responsibility. Don't share them with third parties or use someone else's account, even with the owner's consent.
• Selling, transferring or renting an account is prohibited. If your account is hacked, change your password immediately and end extra sessions under Settings → Security → Active sessions.
• All your sign-ins appear in the list of active sessions. If you see an unfamiliar device, end its session and change your password.
• You can change your password under Settings → Security. Never give your password to administrators: MPoly staff will never ask for it.

3. Fair play

Ranked matches should reflect players' real skill. Anything that distorts the result counts as a violation.

• Third-party programs, scripts, modified clients and any automated actions in place of a live player are prohibited.
• Using bugs and exploits is prohibited. If you find a bug, report it, so it gets fixed faster.
• Colluding with other players to inflate ratings, throw matches or make deals outside fair trading is prohibited.
• Forfeiting a match, deliberately quitting or disconnecting to avoid a loss counts as a defeat and is recorded in your statistics.
• If a ranked match doesn't find enough live players, the empty seats are filled with bots. A bot always has a «BOT» badge, and when you search for a game you're clearly told that opponents are bots. Beating a bot is a fair win, but the RP for it is reduced by a coefficient. A loss to a bot counts in full.
• If no live players are left in a match with bots (everyone has surrendered or disconnected), the game ends and the bots win. This is shown on the results screen.

4. Rank and rewards

• Rank (RP) is awarded and deducted only based on ranked matches. Matches set up manually in a room don't affect rank.
• Company cards for a win (win drops) are awarded only for a win in a ranked match, and only by chance. There is never a guarantee.
• Rewards and RP earned in a match are recorded as soon as it ends and are not revisited.
• Attempts to get around reward limits (for example, repeated wins over the same decoy account) count as a violation.

5. Communication

• Insults, harassment, discrimination on any grounds, threats and explicit content are prohibited.
• Spam, advertising third-party sites, sending links and extortion are prohibited, in match chat, in private messages and on profiles.
• Don't publish other people's personal data (phone numbers, addresses, correspondence).
• If a player is bothering you, you can ignore them right from the match. This hides their chat messages for you only. The permanent list of ignored users is under Settings → Blocklist.
• A complaint about a player is sent from their menu in the match. Moderators review complaints; mass false complaints are themselves a violation.

6. Market, trades and items

• A trade confirmed by both sides is final. There are no refunds on trades, so check the item and terms before you confirm.
• Direct trades between players carry no platform fee.
• Selling an item on the market carries the platform fee; the platform's buyback is at the item's book value. Current percentages are listed on the market page.
• It's prohibited to list items you don't own, describe an item incorrectly, or mislead other players with trade terms.
• In-game items have no monetary value outside the platform. Reselling through third-party sites and counterfeiting items are prohibited.

7. Moderation and sanctions

Violations are met with measures depending on their nature and severity: a warning, a temporary ban, or a permanent account ban. Repeated violations lead to stricter measures.

• All moderation actions are recorded in your moderation history: Settings → Security.
• A ban can apply to specific features (for example, the market) or to the whole account. The reason and duration are given in the notification.
• If you think a decision is wrong, you can appeal it once on the Appeal page, using the case number given in the ban notice.
• Violations not listed explicitly can also lead to sanctions if they harm other players or the platform's operation.

8. Privacy

• What other players see on your profile and who can message you is set under Settings → Privacy. Changes apply immediately.
• Match statistics and rating may be visible to other players, depending on your chosen profile visibility.
• Don't share other people's data that you've come across in the game or in chat.

9. Changes to the rules

• The rules may change. The current version is always on this page, and the date of the last update is shown at the top.
• Significant changes that affect game balance or users' rights will be published on this page before they take effect.
• By continuing to use the platform after an update, you agree to the new version of the rules.
