How we play here

Effective 26 October 2026. Written in plain language; we'll keep it current as JONGG grows.

How we play here

Mahjong has always had its own good manners: you wait your turn, you say thank you for a tile, you make a new player welcome at the table, and the host's house is the host's. JONGG keeps those manners online. Here's the whole of it:

  • Be a good tablemate. Play fair, be patient with people still learning the card, and let the host run their night the way they like it.
  • Play under your own name or a nickname your group knows you by. Don't pretend to be someone else.
  • Keep it kind. No harassment, hate, threats or sexual content, in a name, a note, a listing or a photo.
  • No spam. A listing is for a real game with real people, not an ad.
  • Keep other people's private details private: addresses, phone numbers, and photos they didn't agree to.
  • Hosts set the house rules for their own nights and may ask anyone to leave. That's their call, and we back it.
  • If something's wrong, report it from the person, note, listing or photo. Every report reaches a person, and we won't say who sent it.
  • We take down what breaks these rules and pause or close accounts that keep breaking them. If we got it wrong, write to us and a person will look again.

You need to be 13 or older to play JONGG. Thank you for keeping the table a good place to sit.

Reporting and blocking

Report a person from their seat at a table, their name on a night or in a club, or a note they sent you. Pick a reason, add a line if it helps, and send it. A person reads it and acts on it.

Block a person from the same place. You won't see their notes or table chat, they can't sit at your tables, answer your invitations or join your clubs, and they'll drop off your guest lists. They won't be told. Unblock from your account on the web or Settings in the app any time.

A reported photo comes down while we look. Reports about someone's private details come first.

Write to a person

Reports, takedown requests and appeals go to safety@jongg.app. A person reads and answers every one. For everything else, hello@jongg.app.
