Prepared for Deep Catch 1.1 and 1.2 · Updated 23 October 2026 · Deep Catch is published by Nordvision Rah (sole proprietorship, Norwegian org. no. 931 750 879), Leirsund, Norway (“we”).
iPhone (App Store): Deep Catch is licensed to you under Apple’s Standard Licensed Application End User License Agreement (EULA). These terms add the game-specific rules below. If they conflict, the EULA wins.
Coins and items
- Coins, pearls, fish, parts, materials and gear are virtual items with no real-world value. They cannot be exchanged for money and are licensed, not sold, to you.
- Coin packs are guaranteed: there are no loot boxes or random paid contents. The exact number of coins a pack gives depends on your player level and is always shown on the pack before you buy.
- Purchases are processed by Apple through the App Store. Refunds follow Apple’s refund process and applicable consumer law. Nothing here limits mandatory consumer rights.
- Reward videos are optional. Watching one to the end gives the reward shown on the button (for example a timed ×2 coins & XP boost, extra Fish Box capacity or extra boat trips); daily limits apply. Videos are provided by Google AdMob.
Lucky dives and invitations
Each fishing spot has its own Luck Meter. Every settled dive at that spot fills one step, however it ends. After 20 steps the meter is full and your next dive there is a lucky dive: at least one Epic fish (a Legendary at the Reef and in the Trench) swims within reach of your line and hook — you still have to catch it. Catching it starts the meter over; if you miss, it stays full and the next dive there is lucky again. If no such fish lives within your gear's reach at that spot, a full meter waits until your gear reaches one. There is no product that sells Luck Meter progress or lucky dives; the meter fills only by diving, the same for every player. The meter is shown from level 4, once your gear can reach such a fish at that spot.
A new player can redeem an invitation code on the home screen (“Got a code from a friend?”) within the first seven days and before reaching level 5. The new player gets 2 free boosts and you become friends right away. The inviter’s bonus (a Friend Frenzy, within the limits shown in the app) arrives once the new player reaches level 5 and plays again at least 20 hours after starting. Below the app’s regional age threshold the reward ladder is hidden, but the same bonuses still arrive.
Fair play and community rules
- Don’t cheat, exploit bugs, use bots or modified clients, or manipulate trades. Game results are checked on our server; suspicious results may be rejected.
- Usernames and species nicknames are visible to other players. They must not be offensive, hateful, sexual, threatening or impersonate others. We have zero tolerance for objectionable content or abusive players.
- Profile photos (version 1.2 and later; only at or above the app’s regional age threshold) are seen by your friends. Only use a photo you have the right to use. No nudity or sexual content (also not drawn or AI-generated), nothing violent, hateful, threatening or bullying, no self-harm, no advertising, and no one else’s face without their permission. Friends can report a photo with “Report photo”; reported photos are hidden while we review them, and we remove photos that break these rules and may stop an account from adding new ones.
- You can report a player’s name or cheating and block any player from the leaderboard (tap the player). Blocked players disappear from your leaderboards and can no longer send you friend requests or trades. Names reported by several players are removed automatically, and we review reports and may rename, restrict or remove accounts that break these rules, typically within 24 hours.
Trading
Trades between friends are final once both sides accept. Some items (mythic fish, aquarium fish, relics and Epic or Legendary fish caught on a lucky dive) cannot be traded, fish you received in a trade sell for 0 coins, and daily limits apply, to keep the game fair.
Availability and changes
We work hard to keep Deep Catch running and may update, balance or change the game. Online features need an internet connection and may occasionally be unavailable.
Norsk sammendrag
Apple-appen følger Apples standardlisens og disse spillreglene. Virtuelle gjenstander har ingen pengeverdier og kan ikke løses inn i penger. Betalte myntpakker gir innholdet som vises før kjøpet, uten tilfeldig betalt innhold. Kjøp/refusjon håndteres av Apple og gjeldende forbrukerregler. Valgfrie videoer kan gi belønningen som vises, blant annet tidsbegrenset ×2 mynter og XP, mer Fish Box-plass eller turer. Hvert dykk på et fiskested fyller lykkemåleren ett steg; etter 20 er neste dykk der et lykkedykk med minst én Epic (Legendary i Reef og Trench) innen rekkevidde. Fanger du den, starter måleren på nytt; ellers forblir den full. Lykkemåleren selges ikke, og lykkefisk kan ikke byttes. Invitasjonskode løses inn på startskjermen («Fikk du en kode fra en venn?») de første sju dagene, før nivå 5. Den nye spilleren får 2 gratis boosts, og dere blir venner med en gang; avsenderens bonus (Friend Frenzy) kommer når den nye spilleren har nådd nivå 5 og spiller igjen minst 20 timer etter start. Juks og støtende brukernavn er ikke tillatt. Profilbilder (fra 1.2, bare på eller over aldersgrensen) ses av vennene dine: bruk bare bilder du har rett til, ingen nakenhet eller seksuelt innhold (heller ikke tegnet eller KI-laget), ikke noe voldelig, hatefullt, truende eller mobbende, ingen selvskading, ingen reklame og ingen andres ansikt uten lov. Rapporterte bilder skjules mens vi ser på dem, og bilder som bryter reglene fjernes. Spillere kan rapporteres og blokkeres. Avtalte bytter er endelige. Ufravikelige forbrukerrettigheter gjelder.
