I'm sure this has been discussed before, but I can't find it.
What determines who goes first? Does the Rematch button have any effect on turn initiative?

It is random.

Thank you. Someone once wrote in chat "Thanks for hosting so that I could go first", or something like that. I suppose he was mistaken.

Okay, what I described before was for Sequential games. There are also Freestyle games, which don't have a defined turn order. In those games once all players join there is a one hour waiting period, after which anyone can take their turn. In practice this usually means that the last person to join makes the first move, because they know exactly when it will start.
