Terms of play

Last updated 5 October 2026. By registering you agree to these.

The game is free

OmertaEra costs nothing and sells nothing. There is no premium currency, no paid advantage and no way to trade real money for anything in the game. Offering or asking for real money for game items, accounts or favors is not allowed.

One person, one account

One account per person, one living gangster at a time. Accounts controlled by the same person, used to feed one another money, votes or kills, are all liable to be banned. Do not share your password, and do not use someone else’s account.

Play it yourself

No bots, scripts, auto-clickers or other automation, and no exploiting a bug instead of reporting it. Fairness is the point of this game; the dice are published so that everyone can check them, and the same standard applies to the players.

Be a gangster, not a problem

Whacking, robbing, betraying and lying to other gangsters is the game. Harassment, threats, hate, sexual content and personal attacks on the people behind the gangsters are not, anywhere: mail, chat, forum, Family descriptions, names and pictures included. Staff can mute, warn and ban, and will.

Age

The game depicts crime, gambling with play money and violence in a 1930s setting and is meant for players aged sixteen and over.

Your gangster is not property

Characters die, properties change hands, Families fall, and seasons end. Nothing in the game has a value outside it, and we owe nothing for anything lost in play, by a bug, or by a ban. We may change the rules, the numbers and the game itself at any time, and we may close it; the rules page is always the current version.

As is

The game is provided as it is, with no warranty of any kind. We do our best to keep it up and keep it fair, and the verifier and the public audit are how you check us.
