Fair Play & Community Rules

Last updated: 16 October 2026 · Effective: 16 October 2026

1.Why fair play matters

Ampe is a game of quick eyes and honest feet. The leaderboards only mean something if every score was really played. These rules are part of our Terms of Service, and they apply to everyone who plays.

2.How scores are verified

• When you start a ranked run, our server issues a random seed, which decides the challengers. When the run ends, the game sends the timing of your taps. The server replays those taps with the same rules and seed and checks that it gets exactly the same result. It also checks that the continues and items you used were paid for or owned.
• If everything matches, the run is verified. It is ranked, and its cowries, found items and progress are credited. If it does not match, it is rejected: it is not ranked and earns nothing, and nothing else happens automatically.
• A rejected run can occasionally have an innocent cause, such as an outdated app version or a bad connection. Update the app and play again. If it keeps happening, contact us.
• Only the result of each run is kept, not your tap log (see our Privacy Policy).

3.What is not allowed

• Modifying, patching or tampering with the game, its files, its memory, its network traffic or its timing (including speed hacks).
• Bots, macros, scripts, auto-clickers, emulated or replayed input, or anyone other than you playing your ranked runs for you.
• Exploiting bugs or glitches for scores, currency or items. Please report them to us instead.
• Making or using multiple accounts to farm rewards, ad rewards, Starter Packs or invites, or to manipulate leaderboards or friends boards.
• Buying, selling, trading or sharing accounts, currencies or items, or offering "boosting" services.
• Abusing refunds or chargebacks to keep items you did not pay for.
• Attacking, overloading, scanning or reverse engineering our servers or API, or getting around rate limits or security.
• Using invite links or friend features to spam, harass or deceive people.
• Helping or encouraging anyone to do any of these things.

4.Display names

Your display name and country are public: they appear on leaderboards, on friends' screens and in notifications. A name must:

• be 3 to 20 characters of letters, numbers, spaces, _, - or ., starting with a letter or number. Names in any alphabet are welcome;
• not be offensive, hateful, discriminatory, sexual, violent or harassing, in any language. That includes Twi, Ewe, Ga, Dagbani and Pidgin;
• not impersonate another person, a real player, a public figure, or us. Names such as "admin" or "moderator" are not allowed;
• not contain personal information, such as a phone number, address, email or social media handle, about you or anyone else;
• not advertise anything, or point people to other sites, services or cheats;
• not infringe anyone's trademark or other rights.

The game automatically blocks some words. That filter cannot catch everything, so these rules apply whatever it lets through. Choosing your own country is fine. Please choose the one you really play from or represent.

5.Reporting a problem

To report a cheating score, an offensive name or a bug, email [email protected] with the subject "Report". Include the display name, the country, the leaderboard (global, country, friends, weekly or Daily Rush) and a screenshot if you can. We review every report. We may not be able to tell you the outcome, to protect the other player's privacy.

6.What we may do

If we reasonably believe a rule was broken, we act in proportion to what happened, its seriousness and whether it has happened before. Depending on the case, we may:

1. reject or remove runs and scores, or reset a leaderboard entry;
2. change a display name to a neutral default (such as "Player1234");
3. remove currencies, items, progress or rewards that were gained unfairly;
4. hide the account from leaderboards, or restrict features such as invites, for a period;
5. suspend the account temporarily;
6. close the account permanently, for serious or repeated breaches.

People make these decisions, using evidence such as failed verifications, impossible results and reports. Before we suspend or close an account, we will normally tell you which rule we believe was broken and give you a chance to respond. We tell you in the game or by any contact details we have. We may act first and explain afterwards if waiting would let the harm continue, or if the law requires it. We may also reset whole leaderboards, for example weekly boards, or after a rule change, and that is not a penalty.

When an account is closed for a serious breach, its Virtual Items end without refund, except where the law requires a refund (see Virtual Items).

7.Appeals

• If you think we got it wrong, email [email protected] with the subject "Appeal". Include your player ID (shown at the bottom of the Settings screen) and why you think the decision should change. Please appeal within 30 days of the decision. We will still consider later appeals if there is a good reason.
• We will confirm we received your appeal. We will review it, if possible with someone who did not make the original decision, and reply with our answer and the reason within 14 days. If it takes longer, we will tell you why.
• If we agree we made a mistake, we will undo the action and restore what was removed, as far as we can.
• Appealing does not affect your other rights, including complaining to a consumer or data protection authority or going to court.

8.Changes to these rules

We may update these rules as the game grows, and every version is listed on our Changes page. For material changes, we will tell you in the game before they apply.
