Terms of Use

Dhivehi Games · Last updated 28 October 2026

Dhivehi Games and all of its games are made by Mohamed Arham Ali (Vehi Collective, a registered sole proprietorship) in Malé, Maldives (“we”, “us”). These terms apply to the Dhivehi Games website and the Dhivehi Games app. By playing, or by creating an account, you agree to them. Please also read our Privacy policy.

Who runs Dhivehi Games

Today Dhivehi Games is run by Mohamed Arham Ali (Vehi Collective). The games may later be run by a company we set up, or by a company that invests in or takes over Dhivehi Games.
If that happens, we may transfer the games, these terms and your account to that company. Your account, Boli and items move with it, and the Privacy policy keeps protecting your information. We will update this page and tell players in the games.
These terms are only between you and whoever runs Dhivehi Games. They don’t give any rights to anyone else, such as investors, sponsors or business partners (the only exception is Apple, see “The app stores”).

Who can play, and children

Everyone can play the games, including Quick play and games against the computer.
The first time someone turns on voice chat or typed chat, the game asks their age. Until they answer “13 or older”, voice and typed chat stay off. Under 13: never voice chat and never typed chat, only the ready-made quick messages and reactions. Under 13s can’t buy Boli packs or send gifts.
Parents can turn on the Kids lock (your picture on the home page → Kids lock): no voice, no typed chat and no playing with strangers on that device. Turning it off needs a grown-up answer.
Accounts are meant for players aged 13 or over. We don’t knowingly collect personal information from children under 13; if we learn a child under 13 has an account, we delete it (see the Privacy policy). Younger children can play without an account.
If you are under the age of adulthood where you live, a parent or guardian should agree to these terms with you.

Your account

Your username is chosen when you create your account. It must be yours to use, and it can’t be changed later. Usernames that copy another person or brand, or that are offensive, may be removed.
Keep your sign-in safe. You are responsible for what happens on your account.
One person, one account. Accounts can’t be sold, traded, lent or shared, and making extra accounts to collect rewards isn’t allowed.
You can delete your account at any time in the game: Account → Delete account.

Be kind: rules for chat, voice and names

We have zero tolerance for objectionable content and abusive players. You must not:

harass, bully, threaten or insult other players, or use hate speech;
share sexual, violent or otherwise offensive content;
share other people’s private information, or ask children for theirs;
spam, advertise, scam, or share links or phone numbers;
cheat, use bugs or tools to get an unfair advantage, or disturb the games or our servers;
pretend to be someone else, including our team.

What you type and create

Your username, messages, table names and other things you put in the games stay yours, but you allow us to show them to other players inside the games, keep them as the Privacy policy explains, and change or remove anything that breaks these terms.

Voice chat

Voice chat (13+) only works while you have it switched on at a table. It connects players’ phones directly; we never record or store what is said. You can mute anyone at any time. Because voice isn’t recorded, report abuse in voice chat from the player’s name and tell us what happened.

Reporting and blocking

You can mute or block any player, and report them from their name in chat, at the table or in Friends.
We aim to review every report within 24 to 48 hours. We may remove content, mute a player, or suspend or close an account. Serious cases, especially anything involving a child’s safety, may be passed to the authorities.
A report keeps your message, the reason, the table code and up to ten recent chat lines from the reported player, as explained in the Privacy policy. The reported player isn’t told who reported them.
Think we got it wrong? Email [email protected] from the account’s email or with its username within 30 days, and a person will look at it again.

Boli and items

Boli is a virtual game currency. Today you earn it by playing (for example daily rewards and finished games) and spend it in the Store.
Boli packs for real money are not on sale yet. When they are, they will be sold only in the app, to signed-in players aged 13 or over, through Apple or Google under their terms; refunds are requested through them. These terms will be updated before that starts.
Boli and store items (such as costumes, rings, card backs and throws) have no cash value. They can’t be exchanged for real money, sold, or moved outside the games.
What “yours” means: Boli and items are a personal licence to use them inside Dhivehi Games, linked to your account. When an item stops being offered (for example when a sponsor’s deal ends), you keep the copy you already have. The licence ends if you delete your account, if we close your account for breaking these terms, or if Dhivehi Games shuts down; we would give at least 30 days’ notice in the games before shutting down.
If Boli or items are gained through a bug, cheating, extra accounts or a mistake on our side, we may correct the balance or remove them.
The games are for fun. There is no betting with real money and no prizes of real value.

The app stores

If you got the app from Apple’s App Store or Google Play, these terms are between you and us, not Apple or Google. They aren’t responsible for the app, its content, support or any claims about it, and their own store rules also apply. Apple and its subsidiaries may enforce these terms as a third party.

Our games and content

The games, artwork, music, names and code belong to us or to the people who licensed them to us. You may play and share invite links, but you may not copy, sell or rebuild the games or their content.

Closing accounts

You can stop playing at any time and delete your account in Account → Delete account. Your data is then deleted as described in the Privacy policy.
We may suspend or close an account that seriously or repeatedly breaks these terms. We tell the player why when we can, and they can ask us to look again (see Reporting and blocking).
We may change, pause or end a game or feature. If we end Dhivehi Games completely, we give at least 30 days’ notice in the games.

No guarantees, and our responsibility

We work hard to keep the games running and fair, but they are provided “as is”: online play can be interrupted, and progress can occasionally be lost. As far as the law allows, we aren’t responsible for indirect losses from using the games, and our total responsibility to you is limited to the greater of what you paid us in the 12 months before the problem, or USD 50. We aren’t responsible for delays or failures caused by events outside our control, such as internet or power cuts, outages at our service providers, or natural disasters. Nothing in these terms limits rights that the law says can’t be limited.

The law

These terms are governed by the laws of the Republic of Maldives.
Problems: please contact us first at [email protected]; we will try to sort it out within 30 days. If we can’t, the courts of Malé, Maldives decide.
These terms and the Privacy policy are the whole agreement between you and us about the games. If any part is found invalid, the rest still applies, and if we don’t enforce a rule once, we can still enforce it later.

Changes

If we change these terms, we update the date at the top of this page. For important changes (for example before Boli packs go on sale) we show a notice in the games at least 7 days before they apply. If you keep playing after that, the new terms apply; if you don’t agree, you can delete your account.
