Plain-English summary

The terms for King Games include critical clauses for US residents such as mandatory arbitration and class action waivers (risk_flags-1). You retain no ownership of virtual content (risk_flags-3) and it can never be exchanged for real money (risk_flags-4), with the company reserving the right to revoke access to it (risk_flags-5) or delete inactive accounts without refund (risk_flags-6). Account suspension or termination may also result in loss of any virtual content without compensation (risk_flags-2). Gameplay data and personal information may be used with AI for customer support and experience personalization (data_use-1). Subscriptions auto-renew unless explicitly cancelled 24 hours prior to renewal, and generally cannot be cancelled mid-period (cancellation_renewal-1, cancellation_renewal-2). Users are responsible for their own internet and mobile charges (gotchas-1), and risk losing game data and virtual content if they don't connect their game to a King account when switching devices (gotchas-2).
