About payment. Real-money payment processing is currently under review with our payment partner. The buttons above add you to a waitlist — we will contact you when Founder seats open. No card is charged at sign-up. Subscriptions, when live, will be processed by a licensed payment provider and governed by our Terms of Service and Refund Policy.

Questions worth asking

Pricing & access FAQ

Why a waitlist?

We are onboarding Founders in small cohorts so the narrator stays high-quality and the support load stays human. Expect 1 – 2 weeks between joining the waitlist and receiving an invite.

Will the price change after Early Access?

Public pricing after Early Access will be higher. Founders who sign up during Early Access keep their tier price for at least 12 months from their first paid month.

Is there a free trial?

The free Byzantium 1453 scenario is your trial. Once invited, paid plans bill on the day you subscribe. We do not offer additional free-trial windows on paid tiers.

Can I cancel?

Yes, at any time, from your account page. Cancellation takes effect at the end of the current billing period; partial-month refunds are available in the cases described in our Refund Policy.

Are there in-game purchases?

No. There is no in-game currency, no loot boxes, no NFTs, no purchasable advantages. Your subscription unlocks content; that is the entire commercial model.

Is this gambling?

No. Throne Era does not involve any wagering of real money, virtual currency, or items of value. There are no prizes. Outcomes inside a reign do not result in real-world reward or loss.

Who processes payments?

Payments, once live, will be processed by a licensed third-party payment provider. Throne Era does not store full card details on our servers.

What about taxes & VAT?

Prices shown are in US dollars. Local taxes (VAT, GST) may be added at checkout depending on your country, in accordance with the payment provider's rules.
