Terms and refunds
Last updated November 11, 2026.
GOC Poker Pals is for adults 18 and older. Chalupas are free, just for fun, never sold and never cashed out. No prizes. Nothing to win.
If you choose to watch an optional ad, any Vaulted Chalupas you receive are free play money with no cash value. They can't be sold, transferred, or cashed out, and they are not a prize. You never have to watch an ad to play.
Hands-free voice input is optional. Our Privacy Policy (Microphone section) explains how it works, and please use it only where people near you are OK with being heard.
Crew voice calls: our chat and conduct rules apply to voice calls. Don't record or share a call without the permission of everyone on it. Because we don't record calls, we may not be able to confirm what was said in a report, and we may remove voice access or accounts to keep players safe.
No Gambling
No Gambling. GOC Poker Pals is for fun with Chalupas only. Chalupas have no cash value and can't be bought, sold, traded, transferred for value, or redeemed for money or prizes. You may not use the site, any game, table, chat or account to gamble or to help anyone else gamble. That includes: (a) placing or taking side bets on any hand or game; (b) buying, selling or trading Chalupas, accounts or in-game items for money or anything of value; (c) organizing, promoting or settling real-money games; and (d) paying out or collecting on game results anywhere, on or off the site.
If we determine that you broke this rule, we will permanently close your account and any accounts we reasonably believe are linked to you, remove your Chalupas, badges and status, and refuse new accounts from you. Except for the 7-day refund below, or where the law requires one, paid membership time isn't refunded. We may share information with law enforcement where the law allows or requires it.
Reports. Players can report suspected violations with the in-game Report button or by emailing hello@gocpokerpals.com. We review reports, may ask the people involved for information, and decide based on what we find. If your account is closed under this rule, you can ask us to review the decision by emailing hello@gocpokerpals.com within 30 days. Our decision after review is final.
No promise to monitor. We don't promise to monitor all play or private chats. We review messages and activity only as described in our Privacy Policy, for example when content is reported to us. Not catching a violation doesn't mean we've allowed it.
Memberships
Memberships are sold by Money Miner LLC. A membership sells site access and features only. It does not add Chalupas and it does not change a hand.
A host runs one game. The 4.99 plan and the 9.99 plan cover 30 players. Premium Host covers 60 players. Guests and free accounts host one table. The number of tables is the player total divided by the seats on each table, rounded up.
Automatic renewal. Paid plans are monthly subscriptions that renew automatically. You're charged the plan price ($4.99, $9.99 or $24.99 a month, plus applicable sales tax, if any) when you subscribe and again every month on your billing date until you cancel. There's no minimum term. You can cancel anytime online at gocpokerpals.com (Account → Membership → Cancel membership) or from the link in your receipt email. We'll email you before any price change takes effect, and you can cancel before it does. Plans are sold by Money Miner LLC.
Refunds
Cancel anytime. If you cancel within 7 days of your first payment, we refund it in full and your plan ends right away. The 7-day refund applies once per account, to your first plan only. You get an emailed receipt for the refund. After 7 days, canceling stops future charges. Your plan stays on until the end of the month you already paid for, and that month isn't refunded.
You can cancel at any time online: Account → Membership → Cancel membership, or Plans → Cancel membership. One confirm tap, no call, chat or email needed. Manage membership is there for a receipt, a card update, or a plan change. No survey and no retention offer.
Guest robot names
(a) Private and on this device. As a guest you can name your copy of Rust Bucket 1 or Rust Bucket 2. The name is saved only in your browser on that device. We don't receive it, and only someone using that browser sees it. Other players see the official robot and its official name.
(b) Name rules. Names may not include: (1) swear words or profanity; (2) slurs or hateful, harassing or threatening terms; (3) sexual terms or other offensive content; (4) the names of real people, or anything pretending to be a real person; (5) names, brands or trademarks of Money Miner LLC (including Tommy, Pinky, Tommy Bot™, Pinky Bot™, Rust Bucket 1 and Rust Bucket 2 as a personal name, GOC Poker Pals and Prudent Deals) or of any other company; or (6) personal information, such as a real full name, phone number, street address or email address.
(c) Approval before anything goes live. A name you give your robot is for your own private use on your device. Nothing you name will be shown to anyone else (other players, tables, our roster, our site or our marketing) unless it is first approved by GOC Poker Pals staff for Money Miner LLC. We may take time to review or may decline, and we don't have to give a reason.
(d) Our rights. We may reject, change, reset or remove any name at any time, at our sole discretion, including through app updates that reset names on your device without separate notice.
(e) Ownership. Naming a robot is not a partnership. Money Miner LLC owns all robot art and designs, and any suggestion you send us. To the extent you have any rights in them, you assign those rights to Money Miner LLC, or where assignment isn't possible, you waive them and agree not to assert them. You get no credit, payment or other compensation, and our approval doesn't give you ownership. This is separate from any Kickstarter reward, which has its own terms.
Robot avatars
Robot avatars are just for looks. They never change the cards, your Chalupas or your seat.
- Guests: pick a Rust Bucket.
- Free account: pick one robot from the Rust Buckets or the tin cans.
- Any membership: colored robots are included with a subscription.
Colored robots are included with any paid plan. If you registered before , you get one free colored pick until April 27, 2027, 11:59 PM ET. You can keep using the robot you pick while your account is open. Robots have no cash value.
Robot picks are one-time and can’t be changed, except one new pick when you register or subscribe. If your subscription ends, you can keep using the robot you picked while your account is open.
