Terms of Use

Credit is prepaid in USD and never expires.
A running server bills its size's hourly rate, per started hour, counted from when you press Start.
A start that never reaches a running game costs a flat $0.02.
Starting needs at least one hour of credit. A signed-in friend who starts your server pays, if their balance covers that hour; otherwise you, the owner, pay.
Running out of credit never kicks anyone. The balance goes below zero and needs a top-up before the next start.
Top-ups made from a server page go to the owner's balance.

It's built and run by one developer, so things can break: outages, failed starts and, rarely, lost game data.
You can download your world whenever the server is stopped. Do it for worlds you care about.
The service is provided as-is, without warranty.

Unused credit is refundable on request, no questions asked.
If a session failed you, tell me by email or Discord and I'll refund what it cost.
Free credit (signup, referrals, coupons) is for playing, not for cashing out.

I may update these terms now and then. The date at the top shows the latest version.

Google sign-in gives me your email, name, Google account ID and profile picture link. That's what I store.
Stripe handles payments, so I never see your card. Stripe does send me each payment's email, name and billing details, kept with your payment history.
Running servers creates game saves, server logs, usage and payment history, and info on connected players.

No ads, no advertising cookies.
PostHog (hosted in the EU) counts page views and clicks with a first-party cookie. It's anonymous and not linked to your account.

Nobody buys it. I never sell your data.
It's shared only with the services gameho.io runs on: Google (sign-in), Stripe (payments), PostHog (analytics), DigitalOcean (game servers) and Cloudflare (storage).
