Dominoes is a game people of all ages enjoy. So we know that some of our players will be young, and we design the game with that in mind. This page explains our age limit, protected mode for ages 13 to 17, what parents can do and how we protect children's safety.
1. Age limit: 13
- You must be at least 13 years old to play Tabula Domino.
- On first launch we ask for your birth year. The screen does not preselect any year or hint at the right answer. We do not ask for day or month.
- If your app store (Apple or Google) provides a signal of your age range, we use it as well. If the two differ, we go by the younger one.
- If it turns out you are under 13, the game does not open, no account is created and no personal data is sent to our servers. Only a record of this result stays on your device, and you cannot try again on the same device by changing your age.
- If we learn that a child under 13 has an account, we delete the account and its data.
2. Ages 13 to 17: protected mode
If you are 13 to 17, the game automatically runs in protected mode. In protected mode:
| Topic | What happens |
|---|---|
| Ads | Only non-personalised ads are shown; the ad network is told you are a minor. We do not ask for personalised-ad permission |
| Analytics and crash reports | We do not ask for permission; this data is not sent |
| Announcement notifications | Not sent. You only receive notifications about your own matches, if you allow them |
| Profile photo and name | Moderated with a stricter threshold |
| Purchases | Before a purchase, an extra note reminds you that you are paying with real money and that what you buy cannot be used at tables |
| Akçe | Before you sit at a table, a note reminds you that Akçe has no real value and cannot be bought or cashed out. After a loss, the only "win it back" offer is an optional ad that gives back half of the entry, with no new stake |
Protected mode turns off by itself at the end of the year in which you turn 18. Because we only know your birth year, this may be a little after your birthday, to stay on the safe side.
India: in India everyone under 18 is considered a "child". If you are in India and under 18, protected mode lasts until you are 18. We ask that you play this game with the knowledge and consent of your parent or guardian.
3. Safe design for everyone
Apart from protected mode, we designed the game for all players as follows:
- There is no free-text chat. Players greet each other only with preset phrases and emoji.
- We do not ask for location permission and do not know your precise location. Other players see only your estimated country.
- You can mute, block and report players.
- Bots are always labelled "BOT".
- You cannot win real money or prizes with real value, and nothing bought can be used at tables. There are no paid loot boxes.
- We do not use countdowns, fear of missing out or offers that push you to win back losses to keep you playing.
4. For parents
- Purchases: you can approve your child's purchases with "Ask to Buy" (Family Sharing) on the App Store and purchase approvals (Family Link) on Google Play.
- Screen time: you can limit playing time with Screen Time on iPhone and Family Link on Android.
- Data: to access, correct or delete your child's data, write to privacy@tabulastudios.com. To confirm the account belongs to your child, we ask for the player tag and, if needed, a check inside the app.
- If a child under 13 is using the game, let us know; we will delete the account and its data.
5. Our standards against child sexual abuse and exploitation
We have zero tolerance for child sexual abuse and exploitation (CSAE) and child sexual abuse material (CSAM).
- What is prohibited: any content that shows or sexualises the sexual abuse of children (including drawn and AI-generated images); any attempt to contact a child for sexual purposes, to deceive a child or to put a child in danger.
- Prevention: there is no free chat; profile photos are scanned by a model on our own servers and anyone can report them; moderation is stricter in protected mode.
- Reporting in the app: every player's card, photo and name has a "Report" option. We prioritise child safety reports.
- Reporting outside the app: support@tabulastudios.com. You do not need to give your name.
- What we do: we remove the content immediately, suspend and where necessary close the account, preserve the evidence required by law and report the matter to the competent authorities: to NCMEC (National Center for Missing & Exploited Children) in the US, to the Public Prosecutor's Office in Türkiye and to the relevant competent authority in other countries.
- Compliance with law: we comply with applicable child safety laws and cooperate with the competent authorities.
- Child safety point of contact: support@tabulastudios.com. This address reaches a person who can speak about our child safety practices and respond to reports.
If a child is in danger right now, first call the emergency number where you are (112 in Türkiye and the EU, 911 in the US).
