Terms of Use

What PlayerEdge is

PlayerEdge teaches poker through lessons, drills, a coached practice table and online games played for Edge-Cash, a points currency with no cash value. It is free to use and supported by ads, with an optional paid Pro subscription. The strategy it teaches is educational and comes with no promise of results at real tables. PlayerEdge does not offer gambling: nothing can be staked, won or withdrawn as money, prizes or anything of monetary value.

Who can use it

• You must be at least 18 years old, and old enough to agree to these terms where you live.
• You may not use PlayerEdge where using it would break the law, or if we have previously banned you.
• If you use the iPhone app, Apple's Licensed Application End User License Agreement also applies; these terms add to it, and Apple has no responsibility for PlayerEdge.

Your account

• Give a real email address you control, keep your password and the accounts you sign in with secure, and don't share your account. You are responsible for what happens on it. Tell us straight away at [email protected] if you think someone else has used it.
• One person, one account for playing online. Accounts can't be sold, transferred or traded.
• Usernames must be unique and must not be offensive, misleading, impersonate anyone (including PlayerEdge staff), or contain personal information. We may change or remove a username that breaks these rules.
• You can delete your account at any time from Profile.

Playing fairly and safely

Don't:

• cheat, collude, share hands during play, use bots, scripts, emulators or other automation, or exploit bugs (report them to us instead);
• create extra accounts to farm rewards, invites or items, or to get around a ban or limit;
• buy, sell or trade Edge-Cash, items or accounts for real money or anything outside PlayerEdge;
• harass, threaten or abuse other players, or post hateful, sexual, violent or illegal content in usernames or messages;
• interfere with or try to break into PlayerEdge, other players' accounts or our systems, or overload them.

Zero tolerance for abuse. Usernames and trade messages are filtered, and you can block or report any player from their profile, a trade offer, a friend request or the table. We review reports within 24 hours and remove offending content and the accounts behind it.

Edge-Cash, chips and items

• Edge-Cash, chips, cases, keys and cosmetic items are a limited, personal, non-transferable, revocable licence to use virtual content inside PlayerEdge. You don't own them, and they are not property.
• They have no cash value. They can't be withdrawn, refunded or exchanged for real money, prizes, goods or anything of monetary value, and we will never buy them back. They are never sold for money.
• Cases, the spin wheel and roulette show their odds before you use them, and only ever pay out virtual content.
• Items can be traded only with your friends, inside PlayerEdge. Trades are final once both players confirm.
• We may set limits, and correct balances or items affected by errors, bugs, fraud or a breach of these terms. Virtual content ends when your account is deleted or closed.

PlayerEdge Pro

• Pro is an optional subscription, monthly or yearly. It removes ads, gives unlimited Lesson and Play Chips, doubles daily gifts, adds a Silver Case every day, pays 50% more Edge-Cash from quests and lifts the daily limits on Rewards. Everything else stays free. We may improve Pro's benefits; if we reduce them materially we will tell you first and you can cancel.
• Pro is sold by our reseller Paddle.com, the merchant of record, which takes payment, adds any tax and handles billing under its buyer terms.
• Automatic renewal: the price and period are shown before you pay. Pro renews automatically at the end of each period, at the same price, until you cancel. If the price is going to change, you will be told in advance and can cancel before it applies.
• Cancelling: any time, from Profile, then PlayerEdge Pro, then Manage subscription. Pro stays on until the end of the period you have paid for and then stops.
• Refunds: payments are not refunded if you change your mind, but you keep your rights if Pro is faulty or not as described; see the refund policy.
• Starting straight away: Pro begins as soon as you pay. If you are in the UK or EU, you ask for it to start immediately and agree that your 14-day right to cancel ends once it has begun.
• Pro belongs to the account you subscribed with. Deleting that account cancels the subscription.

Ads and rewarded ads

• Players without Pro see ads from Google. How ads use data is explained in the privacy policy.
• Rewarded ads are optional: watch one to the end for the reward shown before you start. Ads aren't always available, rewards are limited per day, and rewards gained by automation, ad blockers or other tricks may be withheld or removed.

Invites and gifts

When a friend creates a new PlayerEdge account with your invite link, you get the reward shown in the app (currently a Diamond Case Key), within the daily limit shown there. Invites must be genuine: rewards from fake, duplicate or self-made accounts may be removed. Gifts and promotions are virtual content under the rules above, and we may change or end them.

Our content and yours

PlayerEdge, its lessons, charts, art, sounds and software belong to QuantMax and its licensors. You may use them only to use PlayerEdge for yourself; don't copy, resell or reverse-engineer them except as the law allows. You keep ownership of anything you write, such as your username and messages, and give us a worldwide, royalty-free licence to show it in PlayerEdge and to moderate it.

Suspension and ending

We may warn, suspend or close accounts, and remove virtual content gained by doing so, if you break these terms, if the law requires it, or to protect other players. Where we reasonably can, we will tell you why. You can stop using PlayerEdge and delete your account at any time. If we close your account without good reason while you have paid for Pro, we will refund the unused part.

The service

We work to keep PlayerEdge running well, but it may sometimes be unavailable or have errors, and we may change, add or remove features. If we stop running PlayerEdge, we will give reasonable notice in the app and refund the unused part of any Pro period.

Consumer guarantees and liability

Our services come with guarantees that cannot be excluded under the Australian Consumer Law. For major failures with the service, you are entitled to cancel your service contract and to a refund for the unused portion, or to compensation for its reduced value. You are also entitled to be compensated for any other reasonably foreseeable loss or damage. If a failure does not amount to a major failure, you are entitled to have problems with the service rectified in a reasonable time and, if this is not done, to cancel your contract and obtain a refund for the unused portion. If you live in the UK or EEA, you also keep your rights under your local consumer law.

Apart from those rights, and to the extent the law allows: PlayerEdge is provided "as is"; we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of virtual content, which has no monetary value; and our total liability to you is limited to the amount you paid us for Pro in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or for fraud.

Disputes and governing law

If something goes wrong, email [email protected] first; most problems can be fixed quickly. These terms are governed by the laws of Australia, and the courts of Australia have jurisdiction. If you are a consumer living elsewhere, you also keep the protection of the mandatory laws of your country and can bring a claim in your local courts.

Changes and contact

We may update these terms, for example when PlayerEdge changes or the law does. We will post the new version here with a new effective date and tell you in the app before a significant change applies; if you don't agree, you can stop using PlayerEdge and cancel Pro. If any part of these terms can't be enforced, the rest still applies. Questions: [email protected].
