Galactic Gambit
Terms of Service
Last updated 15 October 2026 · Applies to the open beta (Barnard) and the Supporter subscription
The open beta
Galactic Gambit is an unfinished game in open beta. Things will break, balance will change, a universe may be paused, rolled back or reset, and the beta may end at any time. Progress is not guaranteed to carry over to later seasons. You must be at least 16 to take part.
Your account
- One account and one commander per person and universe. Multi-accounting, account sharing and pushing resources to yourself through other accounts are not allowed.
- Keep your sign-in email secure: anyone with access to it can sign in as you.
- Commander and alliance names must not be offensive or impersonate others or the team.
Fair play
- No bots, scripts, exploits or automated play. Report bugs instead of abusing them.
- Be decent in chat: no harassment, hate, spam or sharing other people's personal data. Moderators may remove messages and mute players.
- We may warn, mute, suspend or delete accounts that break these rules.
Multi-accounting checks and bans
- To enforce the one-account rule we use the fair-play signals described in the Privacy Policy, together with in-game evidence such as resource transfers, raids and taking turns for another account.
- A person reviews every case. Nothing is banned automatically, and sharing a network with someone else (a household, a school, a café) is never enough on its own.
- A ban lasts one day, seven days or permanently, and applies to your account in every universe. If you think we got it wrong, write to us.
- A permanent ban cancels the renewal of your Supporter subscription, so you are not charged again. Supporter stays until the end of the period you have already paid for, and that period is not refunded unless the law says otherwise. A one-day or seven-day ban does not affect your subscription. Lifting a ban does not restore the renewal; you can subscribe again.
Supporter
Supporter is an optional subscription that helps keep the game running. It is the only thing we sell.
- What it gives: deeper build and research queues, build orders for every planet and saved templates, more saved fleets and custom alerts, statistics for the whole season and your record across seasons, a star (the supporter mark) by your name that counts your years, a vote in polls on names and art, a set of commander portraits to choose from, and a new portrait every month that stays yours for good. We may add more.
- What it never gives: combat power, resources or speed. Supporter does not make your empire stronger, only more comfortable to run.
- It belongs to your account, not to a universe or season.
Price and renewal
Supporter costs the price shown at checkout, currently €4 per month or €10 every 3 months, taxes included. It renews automatically at the end of each period until you cancel. We will tell you before a price change takes effect on your subscription, and you can cancel before then. The renewal date is shown in the game.
Who sells it, and payment
On the web, Stripe is the seller (the “merchant of record”) and takes your payment. Its own terms and privacy policy apply to that sale, and it issues your receipt. We never see or store your card data. RevenueCat manages the subscription for us. Supporter is switched on when the payment is confirmed, which usually takes a few seconds.
Cancelling
You can cancel at any time under “Manage subscription” on the Supporter screen in the game. Supporter then stays active until the end of the period you have already paid for, and you are not charged again.
Withdrawal and refunds
- If you are a consumer in the EU, you may withdraw from a Supporter purchase within 14 days of buying it, without giving a reason, and get your money back. Supporter starts at once when you pay, so a withdrawal ends it at once, along with the mark and the supported time it counted.
- Refunds are handled by the seller, Stripe, which may also refund a purchase under its own policy. A refund ends Supporter immediately. Ask through the link in your receipt or by writing to us.
- Apart from your legal rights, payments for periods that have already started are not refunded.
If Supporter ends
- Nothing is deleted. Queues, build orders, saved fleets and alerts above the free limits are locked, not removed, and come back if you resubscribe.
- The mark and the Supporter portrait set work only while Supporter is active. Monthly portraits you were given are yours to keep.
- Statistics go back to the free view (the last 24 hours), and you can no longer vote in polls.
Changes to Supporter
We may add, change or remove Supporter perks as the game develops. We will not make Supporter give combat power, resources or speed. We will announce changes in the game. If you do not agree with a change, you can cancel at any time and keep Supporter to the end of your paid period.
Seasons and universes ending
Seasons end and universes close or reset; that is part of the game. Supporter stays active on your account for the period you have paid for. We do not refund Supporter because a universe or season ends, is reset or is closed.
Deleting your account with a subscription
- A Supporter subscription bought on the web is cancelled for you when you delete your account. The time you paid for and have not used is lost and is not refunded. If it cannot be cancelled, the deletion does not go ahead and you will be asked to cancel it first.
- A subscription bought in an app store (later, when native apps exist) must be cancelled there before you can delete your account.
- If you want to use the time you have left, wait until your paid period ends before deleting your account.
Feedback
Thank you for your feedback. You allow us to use it to improve the game without owing you anything for it.
No warranty
The game is provided as is, without warranties. To the extent the law allows, we are not liable for lost progress or data. These terms are governed by Spanish law; if you are a consumer, you keep the protections of the law of the country where you live.
