Terms of service

Last updated 4 October 2026

1. Who and what

Bingoku (the "game") is provided by Raghav Sharma, an individual developer ("we", "us"). By installing or using the game you agree to these terms and to our privacy policy. If you don't agree, please don't use it.

2. Who can use it

You must be at least 13 years old, or the older age at which you can enter a contract or have an online account where you live. If you are under 18, a parent or guardian should agree to these terms for you, and should be the one to make any purchase.

3. Your licence

We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable licence to install and use the game on your own devices for your own enjoyment. You may not copy, sell, rent, reverse-engineer or modify the game, or use its content (the cards, levels, artwork and text) outside the game, except as the law allows.

4. Accounts and usernames

• You can play without an account. Signing in with Google is only needed for the leaderboards and to back your progress up.
• Your username is permanent once chosen and is shown to other players. It must not be offensive, impersonate anyone, include personal information, or infringe anyone's rights. We may remove or change a username that breaks this.
• You are responsible for what happens under your account. Keep your Google account secure.

5. Playing fair

The daily and season boards are only worth something if the results are real. You must not use bots, scripts, modified apps, emulated inputs, a changed device clock, or any other method to get a result you did not earn, or to give yourself sparks. We may remove results, reset balances, or suspend or close accounts that do. We decide, acting reasonably.

6. Sparks and purchases

• What sparks are. Sparks are a virtual item inside the game. You can earn them by playing and you can buy them. They are used for hints and for opening books of levels ahead of time. They have no cash value, cannot be exchanged for money or anything outside the game, and cannot be transferred between players.
• You are given a licence, not ownership. Sparks and other purchases are licensed to you to use in the game. They stay with your account, or with the install if you are a guest.
• Prices and payment. Prices are shown in your currency in the shop, before you buy, and include any taxes Google Play adds. All payments are taken by Google Play under its terms. Buying sparks is final, but a purchase can't be taken away from you except as these terms say.
• Refunds. Refund rights come from the law where you live and from Google Play's refund policy. Nothing in these terms limits any right you have by law, including a right to cancel a digital purchase where one applies, which is lost once the sparks have been delivered if you agreed to that when you bought. To ask for a refund, use Google Play's refund process or write to us.
• Remove adverts is a one-time purchase that turns off adverts for as long as the game offers adverts. It does not remove anything else.
• If the game ends. If we stop offering the game we will try to give notice. Sparks have no value after that.
• Earning rates, prices and what things cost may change from time to time.

7. Adverts

The game shows adverts unless you have paid to remove them. Some adverts are optional videos that you can watch in return for a hint. We are not responsible for the content of advertisers' products or sites.

8. Changes to the game

We may update, add to, or take away features and content, including levels, cards, the leaderboards and the shop, and we may need to reset boards or balances to fix a bug or an abuse. We will try not to do so without good reason.

9. Our rights in the game

The game, its name, artwork, text, puzzles and code belong to us or our licensors. These terms give you no ownership of them. If you send us feedback, we may use it without owing you anything.

10. No promises, and limits on liability

The game is provided "as is". We try to keep it working but cannot promise it will always be available or free of mistakes. To the fullest extent the law allows, we are not liable for indirect or consequential loss, or for loss of data, progress or sparks that is not our fault, and our total liability to you for anything connected with the game is limited to the amount you paid us in the 12 months before the claim. None of this limits liability that cannot be limited by law, such as for death or personal injury caused by negligence, or fraud, and it does not take away any rights you have as a consumer.

11. Ending things

You can stop using the game at any time and ask us to delete your data. We may suspend or end your access if you break these terms or the law. Sections that by their nature should survive (such as 5, 9 and 10) do so.

12. Law and disputes

These terms are governed by the laws of India. If you are a consumer, you also keep the protection of the mandatory consumer laws of the country where you live, and you may bring a claim in the courts there. Before any formal step, please write to us so we can try to settle it.

13. Changes to these terms

We may change these terms. If a change matters, we will say so in the game or on this page and change the date above. If you carry on using the game after that, you accept the new terms.
