Fair Play & Rules: Playing BELLOCCO Safely

BELLOCCO is more fun for everyone when you play fair. Whether you have just started or have been part of the underworld for years, a few simple rules keep the game enjoyable and fair for all. On this page you will learn how to play safely and responsibly, which rules of conduct apply and how to keep your account from being restricted or banned.

The most important house rules

BELLOCCO is a free mafia browser game in which players compete with each other for respect, money and territory. To keep that competition fair, a few strict rules apply equally to everyone:

• One account per person. Running several accounts side by side (multi-accounting) is not allowed and will be punished. It gives you an unfair advantage over honest players.
• No cheats, bots or exploits. Using scripts, auto-clickers or abusing bugs is forbidden. Found a bug in the game? Report it to the staff instead of abusing it. To keep bots and auto-clickers out, the game may very occasionally show you a short anti-bot puzzle: during normal play you will rarely see one, and VIP players are exempt.
• Respect other players. Normal rules of decency apply in the chat and on the forum. Insults, threats, spam and discrimination are not tolerated.
• Do not share private data. Protect yourself and others: never share passwords, phone numbers or other personal information through the game.

Fair play and anti-multi-accounting

At the heart of a fair game is that everyone plays with the same means. That is why BELLOCCO has systems that detect abuse. Running multiple accounts to feed yourself money, items or advantages counts as cheating. The same goes for teamwork between two accounts controlled by the same person. Want to know exactly what is and is not allowed around accounts and teamwork? Read the full explanation of fair play and anti-multi-accounting. It explains how the system works and where the line lies between smart teamwork and gaining an unfair edge.

Do you play alongside a housemate, brother or friend on the same network? That is allowed, but be aware that you may not favor each other. Funneling money, transferring items or letting each other "win" to quickly gather respect can be treated as a violation. When in doubt, tell the staff in advance and you will avoid trouble.

Rules of conduct in chat and community

BELLOCCO revolves largely around interaction between players. In the chat, on the forum and within families you constantly run into other players. Keep it friendly and sporting: trash talk is part of a mafia game, but crude insults, threats or bullying are not. Advertising other websites, spamming or spreading harmful links is forbidden. Staff can remove messages and temporarily or permanently mute players for repeated misconduct.

Playing responsibly

BELLOCCO is meant to be a way to relax. The game is free to play and you do not need to buy anything to progress. Still, it is wise to keep your playtime under control. A few tips for playing responsibly:

• Decide in advance how much time per day you want to spend on the game and stick to it.
• See your daily routine as a fun ritual, not an obligation that takes over your day.
• Never let the game come at the expense of school, work, sleep or your social life.
• Play for fun and competition, not out of frustration or compulsion.

What happens after a violation?

Staff review reports and signals carefully. After a violation your account may receive a warning, be temporarily restricted or, in serious cases, be permanently banned. The more serious or frequent the violation, the tougher the measure. Gains from cheating are rolled back. So it always pays to just play fair: that way you build an account you can be proud of, without the risk of losing everything.

Frequently asked questions

Can I have two accounts?

No. One account per person is the rule. Multiple accounts count as multi-accounting and can lead to a ban. Read more in fair play and anti-multi-accounting.

Can I play together with a housemate?

Yes, playing on the same network is allowed, but you may not favor each other by funneling money or items or by letting each other win. When in doubt, tell the staff in advance.

I found a bug: what now?

Report the bug to the staff. Abusing bugs or exploits is forbidden and will be punished, even if you did not cause the bug yourself.

Are cheats and bots really detected?

Yes. BELLOCCO has systems that flag suspicious behavior. Using scripts, bots or auto-clickers is forbidden and leads to action against your account.

What if I am wrongly accused?

Contact the staff and explain your situation. Reports are reviewed carefully, so honest players have nothing to fear.
