Terms of Use

Updated November 8, 2026

1. Agreement

These terms are an agreement between you and ChicagoRum.com LLC, a company based in Illinois, United States ("we", "us"), and cover Chicago Rum at chicagorum.com and in the Chicago Rum apps for iOS and Android.

By creating an account or playing, you accept these terms, our Game Rules and our Privacy Policy. If you do not accept them, do not play.

2. Who Can Play

You must be 18 or older to play. Chicago Rum is a game about organized crime in the 1920s and includes violence, alcohol, drugs and simulated gambling.

3. Your Account

  • Keep your password to yourself. You are responsible for everything done on your account.
  • Do not sell, trade, share or give away your account or your characters.
  • Add an email address to your account, so you can get back in if you lose your device.

4. No Tolerance for Objectionable Content or Abusive Players

We do not tolerate objectionable content or abusive players. This covers everything you write or post: chat messages, forum posts, profiles, character and crew names, pictures and GIFs. You must not post or send:

  • Harassment, bullying, threats or abuse aimed at a real person.
  • Hate speech, or content that attacks people for their race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability or age.
  • Sexual or nude content, and anything that sexualizes minors.
  • Content that promotes real violence, self-harm or terrorism.
  • Anything illegal, or anything that infringes someone else's rights.
  • Another person's personal information, such as their real name, address or phone number.
  • Spam, scams, advertising, or links to other games or services.
  • Content that pretends to be from our staff.

Rivalry between characters is part of the game: your crew can threaten another crew's rackets. Abuse of the real person behind a character is not.

If you break this section we remove what you posted, and we can mute, suspend or permanently ban you without warning.

5. Reporting and Blocking

  • Every chat message, forum post and profile has a Report option. A report goes to our moderators with what was reported.
  • You can block any player from their profile, from a chat message or from a forum post. You no longer see what they write, and they cannot message you.

We review reports within 24 hours. When content breaks these terms we remove it, and we remove the player who posted it from the game. You can also reach us through our contact form or by email to support@chicagorum.com.

6. Fair Play

You must not:

  • Use bots, scripts, macros or any other automation to play.
  • Exploit a bug instead of reporting it.
  • Play more than one account, or use other players' accounts, except as the Game Rules allow.
  • Buy or sell gold, in-game money, items, characters or accounts for real money or anything outside the game.
  • Interfere with the game, its servers or other players' use of them.

7. Gold, In-Game Money and Items

  • Gold, in-game cash, bullets, items, cars, properties and everything else in the game are a limited license to use in the game. They are not your property and have no real-world monetary value.
  • They cannot be exchanged for real money, goods or services, and we never buy them back.
  • The game is played in rounds. A new round starts every character again from nothing; what carries over to the next round is announced in the game.
  • Purchases are final, except where the law or the store you bought from (the App Store, Google Play) says otherwise. Refunds for purchases made in an app are handled by that store.
  • We can change, rebalance or remove items and prices in the game. If we ban your account for breaking these terms, you lose what it holds.

8. The Casino

The casino games are simulated gambling played with in-game currency only. There is no real-money gambling, nothing of real-world value can be won, and nothing won can be cashed out. Success in the casino does not mean success at real gambling.

9. Our Game and Your Content

  • The game, its art, text, music and code belong to us. We give you a personal, non-transferable license to play it for your own entertainment.
  • What you post stays yours. You give us permission to store it, show it in the game and remove it.

10. Changes, Suspension and Ending

  • We can change the game, add or remove features, end a round or stop running the game.
  • We can suspend or close your account if you break these terms or the Game Rules.
  • You can stop playing at any time and delete your account from Delete My Account (also linked from Edit Profile, then Account).

11. Disclaimers and Liability

The game is provided as it is and as available. It may be interrupted, contain mistakes or lose data. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential losses, and our total liability to you is limited to what you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. Nothing in these terms limits rights you have under consumer law that cannot be waived.

12. If You Play in Our iOS App

  • These terms are between you and us, not Apple. We, not Apple, are responsible for the app and its content.
  • Your license to use the app is limited to Apple devices you own or control, as the App Store's Usage Rules allow.
  • Apple has no obligation to provide maintenance or support for the app.
  • If the app fails to conform to any applicable warranty, you may tell Apple, and Apple will refund the price you paid for the app, if any. Apple has no other warranty obligation for the app.
  • We, not Apple, are responsible for any claims about the app, including product liability claims, claims that it fails to meet a legal or regulatory requirement, consumer protection claims, and claims that it infringes someone else's intellectual property.
  • You confirm that you are not in a country under a United States government embargo or designated as a country that supports terrorism, and that you are not on any United States government list of prohibited or restricted parties.
  • Apple and its subsidiaries are third-party beneficiaries of these terms, and once you accept them Apple may enforce them against you.

13. Governing Law

These terms are governed by the laws of the State of Illinois, United States, unless the law of the country you live in says otherwise.

14. Changes to These Terms

When we change these terms we update the date at the top. If a change is significant, we tell you in the game or by email before it takes effect. Playing after a change means you accept it.
