Leaving a Game
You can always leave a game as long as the game hasn’t ended yet — and even for a short window after it ends. No one can force you to play.
What changes across the timeline is what happens to your fee (for online-paid games) and whether Furbol will still let you remove yourself from the roster at all.
The timeline
Use the game’s scheduled end time — the point at which it’s supposed to be over — as your anchor.
Before the game ends (up to its scheduled end time)
You can leave whenever you want.
- Online-paid games. Your pending fee goes back to your wallet. There’s no forfeit — not when quorum is hit, not when you confirm, not in the last hour. What matters is whether the game has actually reached its end time.
- Cash games. Nothing is in the app to refund. Just make sure the host knows you’re out — they’ve planned on you being there.
- Free games. Nothing to refund. Leave whenever.
Your spot is released and, if it reopens the game below quorum, the other players see that the game lost quorum and needs more players again.
During the 3 hours after the game ends
The game’s scheduled end time has passed, but the window to leave feedback is still open.
- You can still remove yourself from the roster.
- For online-paid games, your fee does not come back. The game’s time has run — your payment stays where it is. If the game gets voted as “not played” afterwards or formally cancelled during this window, refunds can still happen as part of the cancellation.
After the 3-hour post-game window
The roster is frozen. You can’t unbook yourself. The game’s result and feedback are locked.
Quorum-lost consequence
If you leaving the game puts it back below its minimum player count, Furbol logs that the game lost quorum. Other players in the game see this in the activity log. It doesn’t automatically cancel the game — the host can still try to fill the spot — but it’s visible to everyone.
If the game itself doesn’t happen
Your fee is only actually taken once the game has been played. If the game is cancelled during its open window, or voted “not played” afterwards, you’re refunded separately — not through the leave button — even if you left before that point.
