Community and Content Guidelines

KoolGames is a free games site for teenagers and adults. These guidelines say which games and which behaviour are allowed, so everyone can have a good time.

Games

A game can't be on KoolGames if it contains or promotes:

• sexual content or nudity;
• extreme or graphic violence, gore, or cruelty shown for shock;
• hate, harassment or discrimination, for example about race, religion, sex, sexuality, disability or age;
• real-money gambling, or rewards bought with real money that work like gambling;
• illegal activity, drug use, self-harm, suicide, dangerous challenges or terrorism;
• scams, phishing, malware, hidden downloads, pop-ups, forced redirects or anything that tricks players;
• asking players for personal details, or collecting their data without clear notice and consent;
• other people's work that you don't have permission to use, such as characters, art, music or code;
• misleading titles or thumbnails, or flashing images that could trigger seizures without a clear warning.

Cartoon or clearly fictional action, such as shooting or fighting games without realistic gore, is fine. If you're not sure, ask us before you submit.

Behaviour

When you use KoolGames:

• be respectful to other people, and don't harass, threaten or discriminate against anyone;
• choose a nickname that isn't your real name, isn't rude, doesn't pretend to be someone else, and doesn't advertise anything;
• play fairly on leaderboards, without bots, scripts, exploits or many accounts;
• don't share other people's personal details;
• don't use the Contact forms for spam, abuse or threats;
• don't try to break, overload or get around the site.

What happens if something breaks the rules

We may remove a game, change or hide a nickname, remove leaderboard entries, suspend or close an account, or report illegal content to the authorities. We try to be fair and, where it makes sense, to tell you why. Repeated or serious breaches can lead to a permanent ban.

Reporting a problem

Use the flag icon under a game, or open Contact and choose Feedback about a game or Feedback about KoolGames, where you can report inappropriate users. We read every report. If you think a game infringes copyright, see our Copyright and Takedown Policy. If someone is in danger, contact the emergency services first.

If you disagree

If you think we got a decision wrong, email [Contact email] and we'll take another look.
