*On a game over, any player can restart the game or use a [[continue]]. On a victory, any player can start [[freeplay]] mode. There is a grace period between the victory and game over screens appearing where the restart, continue, and freeplay options are not selectable, which allows players to quit before another player performs that action.

*The player who created the game is the host, indicated by a blue pip next to the player icon in the sidebar for sending and requesting cash. If the host disconnects, the game selects a new host for the match. If the former host reconnects, they do not become the host again unless the current host disconnects and the game selects the former host.

*A player can press the "mute" button next to a player's icon in the sidebar to hide emotes and cash requests from them.

===Cash distribution===

Each player starts with the default starting [[cash]] of the selected mode minus $50 per player in the match, except in [[Deflation (BTD6)|Deflation]] mode, [[Boss Bloon Event]]s, [[Boss Challenge]], ~~or the~~ Co-op [[Daily Challenge (BTD6)|Daily Challenge]], which instead ~~splits~~ the starting cash evenly among all players. The extra cash from {{BTD6 mk|More Cash}} is also distributed evenly among all players, provided at least one player has it enabled. All cash earned from popping Bloon layers, and at the end of each round, is split evenly among all players. [[Double Cash Mode (BTD6)|Double Cash Mode]] only doubles the starting cash and cash per pop for players that have it enabled.

'''Quick Match''' allows the player to join any publicly-hosted ~~game~~ that fits within one of three constraints the player can choose from. If no match ~~is found~~, ~~the game~~ creates a match with a random [[map]] (using its default map split), [[difficulty]], and mode within the constraints. ~~When creating~~ a match, ~~the game~~ can select maps the host has not unlocked yet.
