Purchases and Billing

This page explains what JustGammon counts as a game, when it is consumed, and how purchases work across platforms.

What counts as one game

One game means one complete backgammon game, not an entire multi-point match.

• Each bot game counts as one game.
• A private game counts as one game for each participating player.
• Online matchmaking games count as one game for each participating player.
• Spectator mode never consumes games.
• A rematch is a new game and is counted separately.

A match can contain more than one game. Each game within that match is subject to the same consumption rules.

When a game is consumed

A game is consumed only after both players have completed their first move.

• If a player leaves before both first moves are complete, no game is consumed.
• Once both first moves are complete, the game remains consumed even if it later ends through resignation, timeout, disconnect, abandonment, or another reason.

For a bot game, the same rule applies to the human player and computer opponent: both must complete their first move before the game is consumed.

Access and consumption order

When you start a new game, JustGammon checks whether you have access to play:

1. If Premium is active, you can play without consuming daily free games or package games.
2. If Premium is not active, an available daily free game is used first.
3. After the 3 free daily games are used, one game is taken from your purchased package balance.
4. If you do not have Premium, a daily free game, or a purchased package balance, you need to buy Premium or a game package before starting another game.

Purchased package games never expire. They are consumed only after the daily free games have been used and only when you do not have an active Premium subscription.

Subscription expiration during a game

Premium is checked when a new game starts.

If your subscription expires while a game is already in progress, you can finish that game. JustGammon checks your subscription again only when you attempt to start another game.

If automatic renewal is disabled, Premium remains active until the end of the paid billing period.

Payment providers

JustGammon uses:

• Stripe for purchases on Web and Android
• Apple In-App Purchases for purchases on iOS

Depending on your device and region, Stripe may offer payment methods such as credit or debit cards, Apple Pay, or Google Pay.

JustGammon does not process or store complete payment-card details. Stripe or Apple handles payment information through its own secure payment infrastructure and under its own privacy policy.

BOBOIU EMANUEL PERSOANĂ FIZICĂ AUTORIZATĂ remains the legal and commercial operator of JustGammon. Stripe and Apple provide payment or distribution infrastructure; they are not the operator of JustGammon.

Buying on iOS

On iPhone and iPad every purchase goes through the App Store, using the payment method on your Apple ID. The plans screen shows the price Apple will actually charge in your country and currency, which is why it can differ from the price shown on the website.

Managing a subscription. A subscription bought in the app is managed in iOS Settings, under your Apple ID. The “Manage subscription” button in the app opens that screen directly. Canceling there stops the renewal; Premium stays active until the end of the period you already paid for.

Restore purchases. After reinstalling the app or signing in on a new device, use Restore purchases on the plans screen. This asks the App Store for the subscriptions linked to your Apple ID and reactivates them on your JustGammon account.

Game packs are consumable purchases, so the App Store does not return them when restoring. It does not need to: purchased games are stored on your JustGammon account, never expire, and are already there when you sign in.

A purchase made with a different account. Purchases are tied to the JustGammon account that made them, not just to the Apple ID. If you restore purchases while signed in to a different JustGammon account, the app tells you the purchase belongs to another account. Sign in with that account to use it.

If a purchase does not appear immediately. Games and Premium are granted after our server confirms the purchase with Apple. If the app cannot reach the server at that moment, the App Store keeps the purchase pending and delivers it again the next time you open the app, so nothing paid for is lost.

Prices and taxes

BOBOIU EMANUEL PERSOANĂ FIZICĂ AUTORIZATĂ is not registered for VAT purposes in Romania. This operator status does not mean that VAT or another tax can never apply to a purchase. The amount presented before confirmation may reflect the payment channel, customer location, transaction type, currency presentation, and any taxes required by applicable rules. The final amount presented before purchase is the amount the user is asked to authorize.

This documentation does not make a general statement that VAT is always included, always excluded, or never applicable. See Operator information for the registered business details.

Refunds

Refund eligibility and processing depend on the payment channel, applicable provider rules, the circumstances of the purchase, and mandatory consumer law. A refund is separate from disabling automatic renewal: disabling renewal normally leaves Premium active until the end of the paid billing period and does not itself refund a previous charge.

Refund requests for purchases made through Apple may need to be submitted through Apple’s purchase-support process. For a Stripe purchase or another billing question, use the Contact and Feedback page. Nothing in this section limits any mandatory rights or remedies available under applicable law.

Cross-platform access

Premium access and purchased game balances belong to your JustGammon account, not to one device.

A purchase made through Stripe is available when you sign in to the same JustGammon account on iOS. A purchase made through Apple is also available on Web and Android when you use the same account.

A subscription can only be managed where it was bought. On iOS, a subscription purchased on the website is shown as active but has no management button in the app; use the website for that. On Web and Android, a subscription purchased in the App Store is likewise managed from iOS Settings.

Always sign in with the same JustGammon account when moving between platforms.

Purchase records

JustGammon stores only the purchase and entitlement information needed to provide access and verify its status. It does not store complete payment-card information.

See the Privacy Policy for the exact stored fields.
