Lichess - how to choose between casual and rated game

[Marcin]

Hi, something has changed — previously, when starting a game on Lichess, I could choose between a rated game and a casual game, but now that option is no longer available (or I cannot find it).

After turning on the board, it should be HomeScreen → Lichess→Click the time-format and it should expand and show the rated option for random games.

For friend games, HomeScreen →Lichess→PlayAFriend→PickAFriend→click the time-format and it should expand and show the rated option for friend-games.

Thanks, it is where it was, but after changing the language to Polish I didn’t find it, since the translation is unfortunately not the best one - and it’s confusing.

If there’s a better translation that could fit that you could suggest, I’d love to fix it for you.

Just like it is in Lichess (when the language is set to Polish), and as it’s commonly said, a better translation would be: “Towarzyska” (means Casual) and “Rankingowa” (for Rated). See the screen from Lichens:
