2. Points, HP and items are used only inside the game
Article 7 of the Terms of Service states this. Points, HP, items and characters are virtual data that has meaning only inside the game, and they cannot be exchanged for cash or other goods or gift cards, or sold, transferred, lent, pledged or traded. Also, because there is no feature to buy HP or items with cash, there is nothing to refund.
Items are in-game helpers paid for with HP. HP is only spent to use functions such as Undo Move, Coach Hint and Extra Time, and it is not connected to real money. For details, see the HP and coins article.
At the very bottom of the HealingMatgo login screen, a small line says “A game purely for fun: no gambling, and no money changes hands.” The same explanation is also at the very start of the Terms when you open them in the game.
3. Why are there ads?
Article 10 of the Terms of Service states that, so that people can enjoy the game without paying, HealingMatgo may cover its running costs through ads. It does not force you to click ads or promise anything in return for clicking ads. For where which ads appear, see the ads guide.
“No money changes hands” means that users do not pay or receive money while playing the game. It is a different matter from ads being shown. Service conditions may also change in the future, so please check the Terms of Service for the exact details.
