Rated or Quick Play? Pick your queue

What the labels actually say

Rated is described as matching near your rating, with a rating that moves. Quick Play is described as unrated and for fun. That is enough to choose a queue, but it does not disclose the rating formula, seasonal resets or how disconnects are scored.

Choose the queue for your goal

For a first look at the mode, Quick Play avoids turning a learning session into a rated one. If you want rating-based play, select your table size and then Rated. This is a practical recommendation based on the labels, not an official strategy rule.

Browser-local progress

The lobby says the rating is saved on the current browser and provides a sign-in link to keep it everywhere. A different device, browser profile or cleared storage may not show the same local state. Check account and browser context before assuming a rating has been deleted.

Before troubleshooting a missing rating

Record the displayed rating and the browser or account you were using. Avoid clearing cookies and storage indiscriminately. This guide does not claim that a lost local rating can be recovered, and it does not make account changes for you.
