The new rule on games of chance in our Terms of Service has been postponed and will take effect in February 2027. We’ll update this page with the final guidelines before then. Until then, the Habbo Way applies: No Gambling or Casinos: operating or participating in player-run casinos, betting or other gambling activities is forbidden.
We’re proud of the creative user-made games invented and played by Habbos. Games like Falling Furni, Costume Change, and Telephrase (plus many others) fill our Navigator and bring pleasure to millions of Habbos every month.
To keep games fair and safe for everyone, all user-made games must follow the Code of Conduct in our Terms of Service, the Habbo Way, and these guidelines.
The key rules:
- Prizes of value can be won through skill, but never through luck.
- You can’t charge players to take part in games of chance or games with prizes of value. You can only charge for skill games where there are no prizes of value.
What counts as a prize of value?
A prize of value is anything a player could otherwise buy, sell or trade, including:
- Credits or Credit Furni
- Furni, clothing or any other items that can be traded
- Anything with value outside Habbo, such as Collectibles, gift cards or items in other games
Playing just for fun, for bragging rights or for a shout-out in your room is not a prize of value.
There is a limit to the number of chance elements that can function in a room (e.g. Dicemasters, Wheel of Fortune, Fortune Tellers). Placing more than three chance elements will disable all randomiser functions in the room.
It doesn’t matter what your room looks like or which items are placed in it. What matters is how the game works: placing bets isn’t allowed, and prizes of value can’t be handed out based on a random result. You can, however, use dice and other chance furni to help run a game, for example to split players into teams (everyone who rolls a 1 or 3 is on the red team!), as long as no prize of value depends on the result.
What kind of games are allowed?
What matters is how a game works, not what it’s called. Below are some popular games and whether they can give out prizes of value, based on how they’re usually played. If a game is played differently – for example, if a dice roll, a random item or a hidden pick decides who wins – the answer may be different.
This list is a guide to help you understand what is allowed and what is not, it is not a complete rulebook. Every game is judged on how it’s actually played, and we may update this list at any time.
| Game | How it’s usually played | Prizes of value allowed? |

| Chain Game | The first correct answer saves a player; the last one unsaved is out | Yes – if free to enter |
| Colour Run | A wheel picks a colour and players are teleported to random spots, then race to that colour; the last one there is out | Yes – if free to enter |

| Fridge Races | Players race to get the host’s item from the fridge; which item you get is mostly luck | No – just for fun |
| Grocery List | Teams collect items from a dispenser; which items drop is mostly luck | No – just for fun |
| Heaven or Hell | A teleporter sends players to Heaven (stay in) or Hell (out) | No – just for fun |
| Higher or Lower | Players guess whether the next dice roll is higher or lower | No – just for fun |
| Lucky Chair | Players race to chairs; hidden “unlucky” chairs knock players out | No – just for fun |
| Nervous | The fastest player rolls a die that decides what happens | No – just for fun |
| Pod Racing | Dice rolls decide which player moves forward | No – just for fun |

Not sure about a game that isn’t listed? Ask yourself what decides the winner. If it’s based on skill (speed, knowledge, tactics or creativity) prizes are fine. If luck decides who wins or who’s out, keep it just for fun. Luck can help set up a game (picking teams, a target colour or starting spots), but skill has to decide the result.
❗ Remember: any game with prizes of value must be free to enter.
Charging to play
You can’t charge players to take part in games of chance or games with prizes of value. This includes entrance fees, pay-to-play, fast passes, paid extra lives, “pay to stay” or any other payment to take part – even if there’s also a free way to play.
You can only charge for skill games where there are no prizes of value.
Giveaways and raffles
Raffles, lotteries, lucky draws and giveaways where winners are picked by chance are not allowed if the prize is of value, even when they're free to enter. In some countries, these can legally count as lotteries regardless of the entry cost.
This applies wherever the giveaway takes place – in the Hotel, on social media, Discord, fansites or livestreams. If the prize is a Habbo item or Habbo Credits, the same rules apply.
You can still give away furni and other prizes, as long as luck doesn't decide who gets them. For example:
- Everyone who takes part receives the same prize
- Prizes go to the first players to arrive or sign up
- Contests decided by skill or judging, such as quizzes, trivia, or best room build, with free entry
Letting players choose their own prize is fine. But if luck decides who won, letting the winner pick their prize doesn't make the giveaway allowed.
All games are assessed based on their actual characteristics and operation, regardless of their name, label, or description. Any game, feature, or mechanic that may constitute a game of chance with prizes of value, lottery, raffle, betting activity, gambling activity, or other regulated gaming activity under applicable law is prohibited unless expressly authorised by Sulake and supported by all required licences, permits, approvals, and regulatory authorisations.
Running a game that breaks these guidelines may lead to the room being closed and action being taken on your account, in line with our Terms of Service and the Habbo Way. If you see a game that breaks these rules, please report it.
