Chat, voice, invites and rankings

Table chat and voice chat, staying safe in chat, invite codes, leaderboards, and the language, theme and sound settings.

Table chat

• Anyone seated at an online table can chat, while waiting, during the game and after it. People watching can read but not write.
• Messages show as bubbles over the player's piece and under their name.
• Quick lines ("GG!", "Pay the rent!") are sent as codes, so everyone reads them in their own language.
• Tap a player to mute them. That hides their chat and their voice for you.

Chat protects you from the usual tricks: links are replaced with [link], anything that looks like a recovery phrase or private key is blocked before it leaves your device (and again on the server), hidden characters are removed, and messages are limited to 160 characters and 5 per 8 seconds.

Voice chat

At online tables the seated players (2 to 4) can talk. Press Join voice and allow the microphone when your browser asks. You'll see who's talking (a green ring around their picture) and who's muted.

Audio goes directly between players' browsers; the server only helps you connect. On some mobile networks a relay server is needed, and the game provides it when it's set up. Practice tables have no voice chat because bots don't talk.

Invite friends

Every account has an invite code and a link with ?ref=CODE. A friend who signs up with your code is linked to you. On tables with stakes, you receive 20% of the fee on your friend's entries, which is 1% of their stake, and you can claim it once it reaches 1.

On testnet these are test tokens too.

Leaderboards

Three boards, each for this week, this month or all time:

• Profit: net result at tables with stakes (prizes minus entries);
• Wins: games won at any table, free tables included;
• Invites: friends who signed up with your code.

Language, theme and sound

• 6 languages: English, 中文, ไทย, Bahasa Indonesia, 한국어 and 日本語. The game picks your browser's language; change it from the globe button or in Settings.
• Day and night themes: the sun/moon button, or Auto in Settings.
• Sound effects and lo-fi music are made in your browser. They start after your first tap. Use the speaker button to mute, or set each volume in Settings.
• Prefer a flat view? Change Board view in Settings to switch between the 3D and 2D board.
