Terms of use
Updated 22 August 2026The agreement between you and the person who runs Ruststats.co. It is short because the site is small: it reads public leaderboards, keeps a record of how the numbers moved, and shows that back. There is nothing to buy and nothing to subscribe to.
The short version
Free, unofficial, run by one person. No company stands behind it, there is no support desk, and nothing here promises the site will be up tomorrow.
The numbers are not ours. They belong to the communities that publish them. What this site adds is the time axis under them.
Read it, do not drain it. Reading pages is what the site is for. Scripted bulk collection is what breaks the arrangement that lets it exist.
Signing in is optional. Almost everything works signed out. Signing in with Steam is what starts the recording, and deleting your data is what stops it.
Who you are dealing with
Ruststats.co is run by one person, as a hobby, at their own expense. There is no company, no team and no service contract behind it. Mail reaches a human who also has a job, so an answer can take a few days.
The site is unofficial. It is not affiliated with Facepunch Studios, with Rust, or with any of the servers and communities whose numbers it shows. Rust and Facepunch are their owners’ trademarks, used here to say what the site is about and for nothing else.
Using the site
Read it, link to it, screenshot it, post it. Nothing here asks you to keep a page to yourself, and a link to a player page is meant to be shared.
What the site cannot carry is automated collection. Our access to a source depends on our traffic staying reasonable, so a script walking every page spends someone else’s budget and puts the whole site at risk. If you want the data in bulk, the answer is no, and it is not ours to give in the first place.
What you may not do
Scrape it, crawl it, or automate it
No bots, scripts or headless browsers against these pages or the routes they read from. The rate limits exist to catch exactly that, and working around one is itself a breach.
Republish the data as a dataset
No mirror, no dump, no export, no resale. That is the condition we were given by the communities we read, and it passes straight through to you.
Use it to go after a person
No harassment, no stalking, no building a list of who is playing where and when. Presence is the one thing here that only exists because we poll, which is also why every account can switch it off.
Pass yourself off as someone else, or as us
A sign-in proves one SteamID and it has to be yours. Do not present this site, or numbers taken from it, as official, as your own work, or as a service you run.
Break it on purpose
No probing, no injection attempts, no load tests. Found something that actually is a security problem? Mail it to me instead, and I will fix it and say thanks.
Your account and your teams
Signing in with Steam tells us your SteamID64 and nothing else. Keep the browser session to yourself: anyone holding it is treated as you. Sign out from Settings when you are done, and delete your data when you want the recording to stop. What is stored, and what deletion removes, is written out in the privacy policy.
A team is a roster built by invitation. Creating one makes you its owner, and accepting an invitation is what puts you in it: nobody is added by someone else. A public team publishes its public members, which means the roster, their rows and the totals. Leaving takes your row out, and the team’s panels stop counting you.
If an account is used to break these rules
It can be suspended, and the teams it created can be removed. That is one person reading the evidence rather than a process, so if you think it was the wrong call, mail me and say why.
What the numbers are worth
Everything here is second hand and late. A source recomputes on its own clock, we poll every 15 minutes, and the worst case from playing to appearing here is about 17 minutes. Readings get missed, a source can go down, a wipe resets counters, and our own history has a gap wherever a poll failed.
So do not use this site to settle anything. It is not proof that somebody cheated, not a record of who was online, and not a ledger for a wager. It is a public leaderboard with a time axis drawn under it, and it is wrong often enough that you should treat it that way.
No warranty, and the limits of liability
The site is provided as it is, with no warranty of any kind: not that it works, not that it is accurate, and not that it stays available. You use it at your own risk.
So far as the law allows, the person running it is not liable for losses that follow from using the site, from something it got wrong, or from it being down or gone. Nothing here limits liability that cannot be limited, including for intent and gross negligence, and if you are a consumer your statutory rights are untouched by anything on this page.
Changes, and the end of it
These terms can change. When they do, the date at the top changes with them, and what changed is said in plain words rather than folded into a sentence somewhere in the middle. Using the site after that is how you accept the new version.
The site can change too. Pages get rebuilt, panels get removed, and a community can ask us to stop aggregating its data, at which point it disappears from here. Nothing on this site is a promise that a given page will still exist next month.
Which law applies
Swedish law, because that is where the person running the site lives. If you are a consumer elsewhere in the EU you keep the protections your own country gives you, and this paragraph does not take them away.

The rest of it
The privacy policy covers what is stored about you and how to have it deleted. About covers where the numbers come from, how often we poll, and what we never do with them.
Contact
One address, and it reaches a person. Use it for anything on this page: a rule you think is unreasonable, an account decision you want reversed, or a community that wants us to stop.
