|rulings=* May not be deployed on an opponent's [[Undercover]] spy.<ref name="scomp">https://scomp.starwarsccg.org/?s=Restraining%20Bolt</ref>
* The phase 'cannot utilize game text' means the droid's game text is canceled (e.g. the game text cancelation can be prevented by [[Pride Of The Empire (V)]], in which case the droid still cannot move).
* This device may only deploy on (or transfer to) a droid that is at a site.
* This device may even deploy an opponent's droid.
* The owner of the [[Restraining Bolt (Dark){{!}}Restraining Bolt]] may transfer it to a droid present with it at a site, even an opponent's droid.
* If stolen by a non-droid character (e.g. using [[Swilla Corey]]), that character carries it but the [[Restraining Bolt (Dark){{!}}Restraining Bolt]] is inactive while it is on a non-droid character. Even while stolen and inactive, the new owner may still transfer it (see above rulings for transfer details).
* If stolen by a droid character (e.g. using [[Retractable Arm]]), the droid character carrying the stolen [[Restraining Bolt (Dark){{!}}Restraining Bolt]] is then affected by it (droid cannot move and droid's game text canceled. The new owner of the stolen [[Restraining Bolt (Dark){{!}}Restraining Bolt]] may transfer it (see above rulings for transfer details).
