Hello Jacob. It's important to know whether there were any formal rules or agreements set for this game. Also, your location could affect the legal implications. Could you provide these details?

Hello Jacob. Here's some information for you:
- If no formal rules were breached, the threat might be baseless.
- Texas law might not consider this as a legally binding contract.
- You, as the money holder, may not be legally liable.
Please consult a local attorney for personalized advice.
my friend is the game maker so she makes the rules but never stated when signing up. Her calls for the game might have been bias and messed up
Based on your situation:
- If no formal rules were laid out, it's difficult to claim bias.
- Texas law supports fair play but bias in a casual game might not be legally actionable.
- As the money holder, your liability is limited.
Legal advice from a local attorney is still recommended.
