Terms & conditions

Balatrito is a free fan game. A new seed starts every day at 00:00 UTC, everyone plays that same one, and you get one result for the day.

Higher scores rank first; a tie goes to the earlier submission. A result can be held back for a check before it counts. A run played by a bot is marked as a bot on the board.

Don’t forge scores, run bots, dig up the seed before the daily starts, or make extra accounts to get more attempts.

When someone does, we take the score or the account off the board. If you think we got it wrong, write to Support and we will look again.

You can play as a guest: a guest name lives in a cookie in that browser, and clearing your cookies loses it. An account needs an email address you own.

Forgot your password? Use FORGOT PASSWORD in the game and we mail you a code. When you want out, delete your account from Profile.

Pick a name and a picture you are allowed to use, and keep both decent: no hate, no harassment, no explicit images.

A Joker portrait, chosen or built in the builder, is what other players see. A photo you upload stays private, and only your own profile shows it.

Balatrito is free and carries no ads. If you want to help with hosting there is a Ko-fi button, and it buys nothing in the game: no rank, no attempts, no advantages.

Ko-fi takes the payment under its own rules. A question about a charge goes to the contact on your receipt.

Balatro was made by LocalThunk and is published by Playstack. Balatrito is an unofficial fan project: we are not affiliated with them, and the game and its art are theirs.

Questions, appeals, or anything here you want taken down: mariantan@cartucho.studio. One person runs this, so an answer can take a while.
